Celebrities...is there anything they DON’T know?
Surrounded by security cameras and armed guards, I’d feel pretty secure too.

If anyone interviews him, the next question should be “so you are saying you agree to never have armed personnel protecting you ever again?”

The gun used was almost certainly an illegal weapon to own.

None the less, this brain trust is convinced making more guns illegal to own, will fix the problem.

What it is certain to do, is make more victims who cannot defend themselves and the people they love and are responsible for.

At this point we don't know what guns were used, if they were legally or illegally obtained or whether any proposed legislation would have made any difference.

So, naturally it's time to form an opinion - if you're a Hollywood airhead.

I’ve owned guns and been around them my entire life and I have never even threatened anyone with one, thankfully.

He & his associates had guns, but he said they were “useless” since they would have added to confusion. ..

“I’m sure he would have felt better if someone ran down hundreds of people in a delivery truck instead.”

Yes, he would. So would all the Democrats.

I’m not saying this is anything close to a realistic scenario, but did it ever occur to this dope that his fans would have had a much better chance of survival if someone in the crowd below had a weapon that was capable of returning fire against this assailant?

Now you see why they jump on this IMMEDIATELY, when emotions are raw and common sense on back burner.

I even wonder if we’ll see some of this from Jason Aldean. I don’t know him that we’ll.

Josh Abbott can go and disarm all the thugs, gangsters, and the black market underground, and when he is done, then we can talk about taking the 2nd amendment away from everyone else.

“I’ve been a proponent of the 2nd Amendment my entire life,” he wrote. “Until the events of last night. I cannot express how wrong I was. We actually have members of our crew with CHL licenses, and legal firearms on the bus. They were useless.”

This young man apparently never considered how dangerous guns are when misused. Now he is confused and repudiates what he believed until 5 minutes ago.

He will later read that the shooting stopped after good guys with guns arrived.

What he needs to do is write one more stupid song and call it “country music.” And spout some obscenity. And get the biggest hat he can find.

I was talking with a vendor the other day. He was very anti-gun after he got shot when he was younger by a friend being stupid.

After he thought about it, he’s gone 180 degrees in the pro gun direction. It’s just a tool and was mishandled by the owner.

Caleb doesn’t “get it”. I wonder if he “flipped” his feelings about how he felt about the Nazis taking away the guns of people. Dumb schitz.

He was never a 2nd amendment supporter.

If his band is a country band, I’m sure his mates will explain the holes in his feel-good logic.
