He’s taking up the leftist agenda on guns, why not everything else.

He is not real country, thus not a real hat.

Totally agree with you- this FF foundation was ready to roll before anyone knew anything about SH. A money-making machine that sucks in fools like McGraw.

I never understood all the attention Tim McGraw got. Does he even write his own songs? Faith doesn’t

Nothing is safer than no gun. It is like speeding. Speed kills. Going slow is not safe” it is only “safer” than going fast. But even a slow speed is more dangerous than no speed at all.

The same logic will be applied to guns. IF safety is your priority than no guns is your safest bet.

My priorities are home defense, safe travel, tyrannical rulers, and hunting. Carrying and using a gun is an unsafe act (compared to no gun) it should only occur to prevent an even greater unsafe act.

Agreed.

I’ll say it again. Congress needs to pass common sense federal gun legislation.

Tax credits for those purchasing gun safety gun safes.

Tax credits for buying gun safety practice ammunition.

Tax credits for taking gun safety marksmanship training.

Tax credits for purchasing gun safety training rifles, pistols, and shotguns.

Yer basically saying we should be like Sweden?

If Uncle wants to pay for my rounds I’ll be a crazy good marksman, like Lee Harvey Oswald and those guys on the Grassy Knoll.

“Yer basically saying we should be like Sweden?”

No - I am even more radical. I’m saying we should be like the United States.

Jeesh - hounding a guy performing in a benefit concert. I wonder how many of them would have the same problem if they were to be the personal recipients of any of the benefits...perhaps Tim should have given them an option - put up their own personal funds to match what the benefit raises and he will step out to allow them to increase the benefits to the intended - if not willing, then they can shut their pie holes...
