OutKick's Clay Travis responded to several sports media personalities over the issue of gun control in the United States Wednesday.

Gun control and the Second Amendment became an unfortunate topic of discussion again after the mass shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl parade. The shooting resulted in numerous injuries and the death of a Kansas City DJ.

The response from Rich Eisen and a number of other figures in the sports world was, predictably, to call for new gun restrictions. 

Eisen, for example, posted, "Nine children. Nine children who went to a parade to celebrate their Super Bowl team. Nine children now being treated for gunshot wounds @ChildrensMercy. When are we going to collectively realize there's a gun problem in our country and do something sensible for our kids?"

Travis replied, "What's your suggestion, Rich? Do away with the Second Amendment? Honest question. Dozens of laws were violated by the shooters. I'd suggest putting violent criminals behind bars & keeping them there. I'd wager a lot of money that the shooters in Kansas City had long rap sheets."

Mina Kimes joined in, saying "our inaction on gun control fails [our kids] every day."
