Calls for stricter gun control laws have followed, but the one-time Pro Bowler pointed the blame at the individuals pulling the trigger as opposed to the weapons used in mass shootings.

"We’ve got to stop blaming the gun and start looking at the humans and the individuals who are now responsible with those guns," Wiley said in a post to Twitter on Tuesday. "And unfortunately, like incidents today [at Michigan State], irresponsible with those guns."

"Someone told me this once: They said, ‘We blame guns in this country more than anything.’ But if you think about it, if you put a gun on a table, it does nothing," Wiley continued. "It needs a human being to activate. It needs a human being to be that weapon of destruction."

Wiley said the calls for gun control will not make society safer as law-breaking individuals will still find a way to obtain the weapons.
