This makes two days in a row that former Philadelphia sports figures are arrested. Yesterday we had Javon Kearse getting a DUI and now Aaron McKie is charged with “falsifying forms when purchasing two handguns in Upper Moreland Township on April 8″ according to Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Ferman.

The last I heard from Aaron McKie he was being traded from the LA Lakers to the Memphis Grizzlies even though he was an assistant coach on the Sixers at the time. This is why the NBA is a mess, an assistant coach on one team is traded by another team to a third team just to match salaries, try understanding that one.

Anyway back to the firearms charges, because the mother of McKie’s child has a protection-from-abuse order against him he is prohibited from owning firearms. But, when he went to buy these firearms in April, McKie failed to mention this protection order while filling out the federal form. Oooops. When state police ran a background check on McKie they found the discrepency.

By now don’t athletes know by know that nothing good comes from owning a gun? Allen Iverson, (Pacman)Adam Jones, Jayson Willams … do I need to go on?
