Washington Wizards star Bradley Beal spoke out against civilians owning so-called “military-grade” weapons in a series of tweets Tuesday. Beal, a two-time All-Star guard, appeared to be reacting to a photo showing armed protesters in Raleigh, N.C., and at least one man carrying an AT4 rocket launcher on his back. In a reaction to a since-deleted tweet, Beal wrote: “Trigger people like me? You don’t need to be a US citizen walking around with a damn AR, Grenade launcher or, whatever is considered military grade. The group claimed they were peaceful and not looking for a fight, while adding, "An armed society is a polite society."
