"I mean, look at the situation," said the Nets All-Star guard, "A lot of guys have been robbed. A couple of guys, God rest their souls, have passed away. I guess they feel like they need some sort of protection, I don’t know. I can’t speak for everybody. I’d say between 60 and 75% of players own guns." Harris added that he does not own a gun.
Nets teammate Jarvis Hayes, who played with Arenas in Washington from 2003-2007, agreed with Harris’ estimate and revealed that he owns a gun himself.
"Yeah, I have a gun," Hayes said. "It’s in Atlanta, not here."

Some support for Gilbert Arenas from an unlikely source.

to me

this is not a commentary of any kind on bringing guns to the locker room. it’s just about whether players own guns. it’s kind of a leap to say this is support for gilbert.

After re-reading the story

I agree with what you’re saying. It was one of the first things that popped up in my RSS reader today and I guess I didn’t digest the whole thing as fully as I should have.
