Carrie Underwood is an outspoken vegan and leans left if not completely stands for the ideas of the left.

How about a concert against urban youth violence?
The guns aren’t pulling their own triggers, ya know.

It appear from first glance, the organization receiving the money focuses on people problems, rather than gun ownership.

The old “Shut up and sing” meme comes to mind. I don’t want to be lectured or talked down to by someone who probably doesn’t actually have a clue.

The commie libs have hijacked country music. That’s why country music doesn’t exist anymore.

He is not country, he is pop. Just like letting queers hijack words like gay, I refuse to let pop singers be labeled as country. IMO of course but I stand by my record.

Three pitiful Bro Country posers slagging off their core audience of gun owners.

There’s a nice symmetry there.

These are “feel good” measures that do nothing but elevate the performers ego and “cred” within liberal circles. It’s as useless an endeavor as raising awareness to stop the sun rising every day.

There are evil people. Guns are inanimate objects and “Gun violence” is a term the left uses to demonize and take away the 2nd amendment. Its really just people violence and people find ways to kill, maim, cripple others without guns. Take away the peoples right to defend themselves and a single person can kill millions. See Mao. Hitler. Stalin.

One thing about McGraw, if you own one of his songs, you own them all. To me, they all sound alike. Not a fan.
