Nick Saban:”Nothing Good Happens When You’re Around Guns Unless You’re Going Hunting”

Nick Saban consistently tells his Alabama players to avoid three things in particular.
The situation involving star left tackle Cam Robinson and reserve safety Hootie Jones involved two of those three things, which Saban discussed during an appearance on the Paul Finebaum Show Wednesday afternoon.
Robinson and Jones were arrested early Tuesday morning on drug and weapons charges in their hometown of Monroe, Louisiana.
“One thing I always tell players is that there are three bad things: Nothing good happens after midnight, nothing good happens when you’re around guns unless you’re going hunting, and you don’t want to mess around with women that you don’t know because a lot of times bad things happen,” Saban said during the interview. “And in this case, a couple of those things were violated. I think it’s going to be a learning experience for everybody on our team.”
This is a ridiculous statement. He may as well have said “nothing good happens around guns.” I’m willing to bet that none of his player hunt, especially because they are so busy during hunting season. He only excepted hunting because Alabama is full of hunters. But in doing so, he appealed only to the Fudds, those people who buy shotguns for turkey season, lock them up in a gun safe, and assume the police will protect them.
There is no latitude for self defense, and no latitude for the second amendment remedy for a tyrannical government. What Saban should have discussed is the moral character of his players rather than the inanimate objects (machines) they pick up. None of my readers ever get into trouble like this.
