John Mellencamp has issued a blunt, powerful statement calling for gun control in America.
Posting on his social media channels, the 72-year-old singer/songwriter writes, "Excuse me for stating the obvious truth. I do so out of love for this country and the pain of learning, once again, that children have been killed by gun violence.
"If we as a country want to find the collective will within ourselves to change our gun laws, let’s stop playing silly political games. Show the carnage on the news. Show the American people the dead children and others who have been struck down. Show us what guns and bullets can do to the human body.
The angry comments beneath Mellencamp's statement are an indication of just how badly the issue of gun control divides US citizens.
One comment reads, "When I see what guns can do to children it makes me want to buy another gun to protect children from such carnage."

Young black men murder each other 19 times as much as young white men.
Gonna be a tremendous amount of melanin in Mellencamp’s photos. I dare him to do it.
Over 100,000,000 murdered by communists who disallowed private ownership of guns.
Picture a 1,000 to 1 ratio of dead people.
Okay...While we are at it...let’s show the carnage of baby parts from 65 million abortions. Let’s show the carnage of botched transgender surgeries....let’s show the true carnage of our proxy war in Ukraine...
Let’s show blood for blood Johnnie Boy!
This guy's an idiot. He really doesn't want what he's asking for.
If you stopped playing silly games and showed the *PEOPLE* who commit the carnage, he would scream bloody murder because they would be mostly black men.
Right now the media does everything to hide the perp when he's black or Hispanic or "gay" or "trans". (another flavor of "gay".)
Ann Coulter said so on Bill Maher's show. She said "we know it isn't a white guy because the media hasn't told us who it is."
The longer they don't tell us, the more we know it wasn't a white guy.
Show Americans aborted babies and child gender surgery mutilation... That’s what needs to stop.
Which carnage does he want to show? People beaten and killed by illegals? By fentanyl? Waco? Ruby Ridge? Inner city crime?
Because this crybaby weasel has NO chance of disarming the people of the US. Especially today when the government has all but declared war on American citizens.
OK, if you also show the graphic results of millions of ‘painless’ abortions.
I agree. Show the children with toe tags who died of drug overdoses brought to you Biden. 100,000 or so per year.
YUP!
When SCOTUS outlawed prayer, took the Pledge of Allegiance and the 10 Commandments out of the classroom, our society’s breakdown accelerated.
Aided and abetted by the “relaxation” of behavioral rules, too!
Four generations of kids have been educated without learning RESPECT for our Judeo-Christian heritage.
We are reaping what we sowed!
Very true, however legalizing abortion opened the gates for DEMONS to return and begin their reign of terror on earth. When we see these freaks dressed like evil, it is their true skin, they aren’t hiding anymore.
Roe v Wade was, IMHO, the worst SCOTUS decision EVER!
We vilify Hitler, Stalin. Pol Pot, Ho Chi Min, Mao, et al for killing millions.
Roe has resulted in the death of 65 million babies!
And we celebrate?
