"The young generation, the March for Our Lives generation, has really inspired me," Kerr said. "So I offer my support to them and to all young people, and hope that we can create a change where we don't all have to walk around scared we're going to get shot in our own country."

Kerr has spoken aboutgun violencein the United States many times in the past, including in an essay with Chris Ballard for Sports Illustrated that also spoke on the importance of voting.

Kerr's Warriors will look to even the championship series against the Raptors Sunday in Game 2.
