Eric Church, one of the headliners at the Route 91 festival in Las Vegas the scene of the 2017 massacre known as the deadliest mass shooting by an individual in modern U.S. history is blaming the NRA for the attacks. Church performed at the festival two nights before the shooting, and the experience has changed his views on guns a little, he says. While fellow country singer Jason Aldean was performing, a gunman opened fire on the crowd, killing at least 58 people. Now Church is speaking out about the incident. While he says he considers himself a Second Amendment guy, referring to the right to bear arms, Church is blaming the NRA and gun lobbyists for being a roadblock to gun safety, according to a recent interview with Rolling Stone. There are some things we cant stop, Church told the magazine. Like the disgruntled kid who takes his dads shotgun and walks into a high school. But we could have stopped the guy in Vegas. The Desperate Man singer added: I blame the lobbyists. And the biggest in the gun world is the NRA.

Well, that’s too bad. I like a couple of his songs.
There is a career booster. Was he thinking of retiring?
Guess you don't know Eric Church, not that it matters now.
I had 4 of his albums - and then I read this.....
What do you get when you mix Country and Rap?
You guessed it! CRap.
He did sing “It’s over when it’s over.” Yep, he can join the Dixie Chicks in oblivion.
Career death. Speaking out against your core base and one of their most closely held and defended Constitutional Rights is NOT a good career move.
I cannot stand modern Country music. Just can't. It's pop-country, rap-country, horse-crap country, whatever you want to call it. I just cannot stand it.
It's just as bad as rap music IMO.
Yep
