It's after Stephen Paddock killed 58 and injured hundreds of country music fans when he opened fire at the Route 91 Harvest festival in Las Vegas.

Traditionally country music and gun culture have had a strong friendship.

With the genre even having its own division of the rifle association called NRA Country which sponsors tours and artists.

But now platinum-selling duo Florida Georgia Line and chart topper Thomas Rhett both have disappeared from the NRA Country website this week.

Shoot, that’s not bad.
It’s as country as anything else out today.

I don’t think too many people support machine gunning music fans from above.

Sean Hannity will not be amused. Oh well, it was time for new bump music anyway.

Hannity's bumper music belonged to one of those groups? I always hated it anyway.........

Pop music played with a country twang and some guy or gal wearing a cowboy hat/boots is not real country music.

I think your post needs updating.

1) First, more like 400 Million guns now

2) Second, more like 12 Billion rounds, as 12 Trillion rounds would be like 60,000 rounds per gun (with the 200M number). 60 rounds would be closer (although it may be a bit low).

So much of it sounds like Eighties or Nineties Rock, with a fiddle, and no steel guitar!

I like some of the songs, etc but I wouldn’t classify most of it as country.

Me too. With the onset of a rock sounding band and hollerin’ and not singing is when I turned it off. If I wanna listen to rock I will......when I want country I pull out my old CD’s or listen to a classic country station on the radio whilst traveling..........;)

I think it should be a general rule to spend as much on ammo as the gun (over say a 6 mo period).

One wants to survey the available rounds and pick a favorite or two or four...

Sean Hannity need some better bumper music anyway.

I used to be a fan.

This is how we roll, sucks.

The once great Sean Hannity is all about selling pillows, safes and security systems now days anyhow. Everything is a tie in to a product.

Maybe he should start hawking douche.
