Yeah, that's it.
What Plaxico Burress did is a felony in NY but not in Texas. In this case, no harm, no foul. I understand he'll have to face the consequences of violating DC gun laws, but no harm came out of it.so committing felony in the locker room is no longer a big deal?
Yeah, that's it.
done for season?
again it is a felony in DC
If you're black you get a few more years
you sound like the cop from the simpsons
And again, while he will have to face the music there, no harm came out of his actually having the guns. Why do I always have to repeat myself with you?again it is a felony in DC
A gun in a locker room (unloaded, secured, unknown to everyone else) is not a big deal unless the gun owner is a dumb enough mf'er that he would point a gun at someone.
If you are stupid enough to point a gun at someone without being willing to discharge it, i.e., defend yourself, you should be punished for being a dumbass.
I'd rather be attacked with non-firearm weapons than have a gun pointed at me.
me and my fantasy team.
All jokes aside ...this is sad. I thought gil was bit overrated because of his personality and humble beginnings ...but with that said he was an underdog that made it. I was couple years ahead of Gil in HS and our HS are rivals. Some of my buddies used to ball up Gil and could NOT BELIEVE he could score 20 let alone 50 in an NBA game. Arizona was the only PAC10 school that recruited him even U$C thought he was weak sauce ...
As for stern he takes the "image of the NBA seriously" much like goodell. I agree Artest got singled out for an example ...but to be fair to Stern he even severley punished Melo who was marketed as a star ...and Kareem for his punch as well ...
Sounds like it. Arenas bringing multiple firearms as a joke in response to gambling drama in a profession where you aren't allowed to bring them to sanctioned events/areas is inexcusable. On top of that Arenas mishandled the press and media circus by basically making an ass of himself.Yeah, that's it.
Do what Arenas did in just about any profession and you'll find yourself fired and likely behind bars.

I am the one repeating myself. Stern suspended him for his joking at ude towards the matter.
NBA can suspend any player for misconduct. anytime.
I think it's a big deal for a few reasons, obviously he broke the law, if I went into my job with a gun (loaded or not) i'd be fired on the spot and sent to prison. And then he's a role model to young kids blah blah blah.
Allegedly.
That's not a crime.On top of that Arenas mishandled the press and media circus by basically making an ass of himself.
Fin-
Guns are bad, mkay?
SpewFans, this isn't the Alamo, you can't just pull out guns on anybody.
Just because somebody stole your 5 layer burrito doesn't mean you need to start packing heat
You don't have to commit a crime to get suspended by the league.
Like it or not, the league has been trying to change it's image (whatever that means). Gil was a moron for pushing his luck. 'em.
I don't find it a coincidence at all that the day after his flippant/joking display about what Stern believes to be a huge matter for the league image, he got suspended.
His handlers/advisers should have known better. Gil, as we all know, is a moron. You apparently sound like one of his advisers.

I've always liked Arenas, but after his continued jokes on the topic, it doesn't matter if the deal was big to begin with or was blown out of proportion, Arenas had to be suspended.
This antic... called for action.
No, Arenas already confessed that.
No one said it was a crime. But once you actually go into the real world Findog and get a job for an organization like the NBA you've got rules to follow such as not making your company look like complete to the media. Oh yea and don't bring ing guns as props; not even ing Carrot Top is that stupid.That's not a crime.
The only thing that could possibly make this photo any better — or for Commissioner David Stern, worse — is if the Washington Wizards were decked out in their throwback Bullets jerseys on Tuesday night.
But hey, bang bang, Gilbert! As long as it's not a gavel, right?
UPDATE: After the game, Arenas and his teammates said that they were doing a spin on a touchdown celebration from the movie "Any Given Sunday," in which a player sprayed his 'mates with pretend gunfire.
"They asked me to do it," Arenas told David Steele of NBA FanHouse.
Oh, they asked you to do it? Cool. See that bridge over there?

Wait, I thought they pulled guns on each other? Why is only Arenas suspended?
