Jeezy on Violence Today: It's Not the Guns, It's the People
In light of recent shootings across the globe, Jeezy shared his thoughts on the situation during an interview with CNN. While some believe there needs to be stricter gun control, Jeezy believes that the situation goes beyond the guns.
"Guns have always been a part of my upbringing. Whether it was just your uncle's hunting rifle or your cousin's military issue weapon. Or the police having guns...It's not the guns. It's the people who have the guns. It's the people who have emotional and mental problems that are going out here, reacting with firearms and taking lives without thinking about it."
The "No Tears" emcee also spoke about harsher sentences for gun violence, "Of course, it should be certain laws or certain ways. I think in Florida it's 10, 20, life. That scared me. Ain't no way around that. So, maybe that's something we need to put out everywhere."
