Former NFL defensive end turned sportscaster, Marcellus Wiley, has expressed a unique perspective on the recent shooting at Michigan State University. While acknowledging the prevalence of mass shootings in the United States and the severity of such incidents, Wiley is encouraging people to focus on the individuals responsible for pulling the trigger rather than simply assigning blame to guns.
Wiley argued that blaming guns for mass shootings is not the solution to the problem. Instead, he called on society to examine the individuals who have access to them, especially those who act irresponsibly. He emphasized that guns, by themselves, cannot cause harm and require humans to activate them, making individuals responsible for using them as weapons of destruction.
In contrast to calls for a complete ban on firearms, Wiley is opposed to the measure, stating that it would only prevent law-abiding citizens from accessing guns while leaving criminals with the means to obtain them. He argued that banning guns would only worsen the problem as criminals are not bound by the law and would continue to acquire them illegally.
Wiley's comments offer a thought-provoking perspective on a highly debated issue in the United States. His emphasis on individual responsibility and accountability rather than blanket blame on guns echoes the sentiments of many who believe that a comprehensive solution to the problem of gun violence is more complex than just a single policy change.
By encouraging society to focus on the root causes of gun violence, Wiley's perspective highlights the need for a more nuanced approach to the issue, one that recognizes the role of both guns and individuals in these incidents.
This is the 67th mass shooting in 2023, and it’s only February 14th. We have to stop blaming the guns, and start looking at the humans who are irresponsible with guns. #ARGO pic.twitter.com/PGLPlnMJgj

Wiley's perspective on gun violence is likely to stir a strong reaction from many people, including his former employer, ESPN. However, he is not alone in his beliefs, as many Americans share his perspective.
What distinguishes Wiley from others in his profession is his willingness to speak out and stand by his convictions. Despite the controversy and pushback that he may receive for his views, Wiley continues to express them, showing a commitment to open and honest dialogue on the issue of gun violence in the United States.
