On July 17, country singers Tim McGraw and Billy Currington will headline a fundraiser for gun control group Sandy Hook Promise in Connecticut.
Sandy Hook Promise was founded after Adam Lanza stole various firearms then carried out a heinous attack on Sandy Hook Elementary.
NBC Connecticut quoted McGraw as saying:
Out of this tragedy a group was formed that made a promise to honor the lives lost and turn it into a moment of transformation. Sandy Hook Promise teaches that we can do something to protect our children from gun violence. I want to be a part of that promise – as a father and as a friend.
McGraw’s “A Concert For Sandy Hook Promise” will also feature country singers Billy Currington and Chase Bryant.
On December 15, Breitbart News reported that Sandy Hook Promise is a vehicle through which various relatives of Sandy Hook victims have joined to push gun control until it passes. Newtown father Mark Bearden joined the group pledging to “dedicate the rest of his life” to pursuing gun control.
It should be noted that there was 100 percent gun control at Sandy Hook Elementary on December 14, 2012. No guns were allowed, period. You can’t have more gun than that. Moreover, there were laws against stealing guns and possessing stolen guns as well. But none of these laws stopped or even dissuaded Adam Lanza.

Ironically, Tim and Billy's tour is called "Shot Gun Rider."
Additionally, the XFINITY Theater website does not mention the fact the concert will support the Sandy Hook Promise. http://www.xfinitytheatre.net/events/tim-mcgraw-billy-currington-chase-bryant/#.VS_xUM6JnAM
Never heard of them.
” Tim McGraw’s and Billy Currington”
I agree....take their guns now. This includes armed bodyguards.
Guns kill....all by themselves!
Exactly...
The “Second” is fine for me, but not for thee.
Tim has been a Dumbocrat shill for as long as I can remember. I much prefer the Mandrell sisters (since Irlene is a Second Amendment Sister).
Their Dixie Chicks moment is upon them. Ignore your fans at your own peril.
I agree, In fact it ought to be a LAW, that any and all persons that call for Gun Control should NEVER be allowed to Use, Own or Possess ANY FIREARM, nor have anybody in their employ, or employed on their behalf to possess a FIREARM.
Again I digress neither of these doofuses is a country singer.

GUNS DONT KILL< COUNTRY SINGERS DO
They’re doing this in deep, unrepentantly Blue, Connecticut.
They need to try doing it where their fanbase really is. Like Tennessee.
” Their Dixie Chicks moment is upon them. Ignore your fans at your own peril.”
Nah....these people already have 10’s of millions. If they were still working on their first million, do you really think they would be out, jerking us around like this?
” I agree, In fact it ought to be a LAW, that any and all persons that call for Gun Control should NEVER be allowed to Use, Own or Possess ANY FIREARM, nor have anybody in their employ, or employed on their behalf to possess a FIREARM.”
BUMP the heck outta this!
Would love to see Roy Rogers take Tim to the woodshed over this issue. I remember Roy being a very staunch supporter of the 2nd Amendment.
“GUNS DONT KILL< COUNTRY SINGERS DO”
New T shirt
You’re right
No they wouldn’t. None the less, they are taking this gig for some reason, and you wouldn’t catch me doing something like this, helping the enemies of U. S. Citizens.
This is how to go from hero to zero in one easy step.
Follow the EXTRA money, methinks.
