Syracuse men's basketball coach Jim Boeheim has called for an assault weapons ban after winning his 900th game. Boeheim is among the most successful basketball coaches in the NCAA.

Boeheim spoke to the homecrowd in Syracuse to celebrate his 900 win milestone and used it as a forum to demand an AWB. Here's the quote:

"If we cannot get the people who represent us to do something about firearms, we are a sad, sad, society. If one person in this world, the NRA president, anybody, can tell me why we need assault weapons with 30 shots-- this is our fault if we don't go out there and do something about this. If we can't get this done, I don't know what kind of country we have."

Seems like Boeheim should STFU and worry about basketball. I guess all the cool kids are demanding an AWB when they knew nothing of the issue before last Friday. Furthermore, if he concentrated only on what he knows (basketball) then maybe his teams wouldn't pull their annual chokejob in March.

New York and CT already have one. How's that AWB working out for them?

They refuse to admit defeat and just blame their failures on our freedoms.

"If we cannot get the people who represent us to do something about CARS, we are a sad, sad, society. If one person in this world, the FORD/CHEVY/TOYOTA president, anybody, can tell me why we need CARS THAT CAN GO MORE THAN 30 MPH-- this is our fault if we don't go out there and do something about this. If we can't get this done, I don't know what kind of country we have."

I only have one thing to say to Jim Boeheim. 1987 National Champion Indiana Hoosiers! Oh yeah and he can pack sand. Who cares what he thinks about anything?

Never liked him as a coach. Now I like him even less.

The representatives are to work within the Constitution, so it really doesn't matter what they or their constituents want.

Anybody who wants to operate differently needs deported.

That's the way liberals think. It's not their programs' fault. They just need to tweak it and/or expand it, throw more money at it, or pass just one more law.
