Eagles of Death Metal frontman slams French gun control
Published February 16, 2016FoxNews.com
Eagles of Death Metal frontman Jesse Hughes spoke out on gun control in an emotional interview with iTELE's Laurence Ferrari.
"Did your French gun control stop a single [expletive] person from dying at the Bataclan? And if anyone can answer yes, Iâd like to hear it, because I donât think so. I think the only thing that stopped it was some of the bravest men that Iâve ever seen in my life charging head-first into the face of death with their firearms."
Hughes has returned to Paris, saying he feels a "sacred" responsibility to finish the band's show that was interrupted by gunfire, but adds that the terror attacks haven't changed his view on guns.
Islamic extremists massacred 89 people at the band's Nov. 13 performance at the Bataclan, which has been closed since the attacks across Paris that left 130 dead and 350 others wounded.
"There's been just such an outpouring of support for us and love for us. It's overwhelming. I just don't want to let anyone down," Hughes said of the band's upcoming performance at the Olympia Theatre in Paris on Tuesday.
"This show I'm supposed to put up like a barrier against anything that's not fun and that we're really just supposed to have fun there tomorrow. I think that's what we really need to do is just have fun together so that we can put some of this (expletive) behind us and really leave it there so it doesn't follow us around for the rest of our lives," Hughes said while breaking down into tears.
Hughes told iTELE that he's been unable to control his emotions since the attacks.

Also, the lead singer who formed the group is a conservative and always has been. I posted that he was a conservative on Freerepublic so the word could get out that he was "one of us".

Based on the aftermath, Parisians are waking up. It would be great if the band’s young followers will open their self-destructive millenial eyes to reality.
Well Josh Homme is more libertarian but yeah he isnt a lefty for sure.
Kudos to him for expressing logic with courage. Europe needs to hear these words now more than any time since ww2.
The only thing that ever stops a bad man with a gun is a good man with a gun.
Gd bless this man. The whole band. And Gd comfort all those who lost loved ones or were injured in the concert attack. Hope it’s a rousing success tonight, or was, it must have already happened.
It’s nice when a younger person says this, peers respect peers. Maybe we can smarten up the youth before it’s too late.
I GREATLY admire them for telling the truth. No doubt they were under pressure from gun-grabbers to use their tragedy in the campaign to undermine the 2nd amendment.
Poor Parisians, it was not enough to be mugged by reality, but massacred by it.
Of course it did. No politicians died in this attack. They are the only ones that they care about. The government will take care of us, at least those of us who are politicians.
