The San Francisco 49ers, the team whose second-string quarterback started the national anthem protests that have led to league-wide turmoil, announced on Thursday that they are embracing politics off the field too. Their new political effort involves promoting “common sense” gun control.
In partnership with several police unions, the 49ers have pledged $500,000 to a community outreach campaign that in part will promote stricter gun control measures, including banning bump stocks, armor-piercing bullets, and gun silencers, Mercury News reports.
