Patrick Mahomes Reveals Why He Has NOT Called For Tighter Gun Laws

Patrick Mahomes has revealed why he has not called for tighter gun laws in the wake of a fatal shooting during the team's Super Bowl parade in February.

A 43-year-old mother of two was killed that day in Kansas City, with court documents saying at least six people fired weapons. 

Speaking to TIME, Mahomes said, 'I continue to educate myself. I don't want to make a quick response to something that takes a lot of education to really learn and make a swaying comment based off that. But I know we have to find a solution of some way to make this stuff stop.'



Following the shooting - which left about two dozen people injured - Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, reportedly donated $50,000 to a fund started by the Chiefs to aid victims of the shootings, as well as first responders involved.

They also visited two young sisters - just eight and 10 years old - in the hospital after the pair was shot in the legs.

Federal prosecutors said that one weapon recovered at the rally scene was an Anderson Manufacturing AM-15 .223-caliber pistol, found along a wall with a backpack next to two AR-15-style firearms and a backpack. 

The shooting is said to have broken out from a domestic dispute between two groups.

Mahomes also told TIME that he will stay silent ahead of this year's US presidential election, and not publicly endorse a candidate like he did in 2020.

'I don't want to pressure anyone to vote for a certain President,' he said. 'I want people to use their voice, whoever they believe in. I want them to do the research.'
