In an interview for Billboard magazine, country singer Faith Hill spoke out in favor of gun control and said it is time for the NRA to tell the truth about guns. Speaking about last months Las Vegas mass shooting, in which guns were used illegally to kill innocent concert-goers, Hill referenced the doctors who treated those wounded in the attack, saying: The doctors that [treated] the wounded, they saw wounds like youd see in war. Thats not right. Military weapons should not be in the hands of civilians. Its everyones responsibility, including the government and the National Rifle Association, to tell the truth.
We all want a safe country, the Wild One singer added.
Her husband, Tim McGraw, reasserted his support for common sense gun control during the same interview, saying, Look, Im a bird hunter I love to wing-shoot. However, there is some common sense thats necessary when it comes to gun control.

Tim McGraw is a Fudd.
More liberal ruination. Liberalism is an infectious disease.
“Gone Country”
She’s been playing in a room on the strip for ten years in Vegas
Every night she looks in the mirror and she only ages
She’s been readin’ about Nashville and all the records that everybody’s buying
Says, I’m a simple girl myself, grew up on Long Island
So she packs her bags to try her hand
Says this might be my last chance
She’s gone country, look at them boots
She’s gone country, back to her roots
She’s gone country, a new kind of suit
She’s gone country, here she comes
Well the folk scene’s dead, but he’s holding out in the Village
He’s been writing songs, speaking out against wealth and privilege
He says, I don’t believe in money, but a man could make him a killin’
‘Cause some of that stuff don’t sound much different than Dylan
I hear down there it’s changed, you see
Well, they’re not as backward as they used to be
He’s gone country, look at his boots
He’s gone country, back to his roots
He’s gone country, a new kind of suit
He’s gone country, here he comes
He commutes to L.A., but he’s got a house in the Valley
But the bills are piling up and the pop scene just ain’t on the rally
And he says, honey, I’m a serious composer, schooled in voice and composition
But with the crime and the smog these days, this ain’t no place for children
Lord, it sounds so easy, this shouldn’t take long
Be back in the money in no time at all
He’s gone country, look at them boots
He’s gone country, back to his roots
He’s gone country, a new kind of suit
He’s gone country, here he comes
Yeah, he’s gone country, a new kind of walk
He’s gone country, a new kind of talk
He’s gone country, look at them boots
He’s gone country, oh, back to his roots
He’s gone country
He’s gone country
Everybody’s gone country
Yeah, we’ve gone county
The whole world’s gone country
Country is headed left. Added Florida Georgia Line, Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley to my boycott list.
Kid Rock has a new country CD out
Just ordered it
Dear Faith, have you seen the devastation that exploding pressure cookers have on the human body? Why aren’t you at WalMart insisting that they take them off the shelves?
Well Faith you eve see a 4 car traffic accident? How about a house fire in which 6 people were asleep? Then you would have seen deaths and wounds like those seen in war. Should we have the auto industry tell us the truth about vehicles?
It is beyond sad and tragic that some mentally ill POS decided to act out his fantasy and slaughter so many human beings. But in the end, in reality, that had ZERO do do with the NRA and more to do with a society that is weakening our mental health care system to the point of being useless
If you pull the trigger of a loaded gun, and I'm standing in front of it, you're going to shoot and possibly kill me.
Is THAT what you wanted ?
Or did you want us to say, If I pull the trigger of a loaded gun, and you're standing in front of it, I'm going to shoot and possibly kill you.
See?
It IS all in how you present an argument or statement.
I knd'a like, If I'm standing in front of you and you have a loaded gun pointing at me, I will do my damnedest to shoot and kill you ..... first.
Tim McGraw once stated that he wished Bill Clinton could be King.
I have since avoided listening to his songs as much as possible.
His opinion means squat.
Libs are like the Borg.
Might as well be Faith NBA and Tim NFL. See ya!
And what IS the truth, sweetie?
Okay, here’s the truth, Faith. Guns and the Second Amendment are here to stay, and you and chrome dome should go the way of the Dixie Chicks.
“Ultimately, we can’t show cause and effect for events that occurred years ago. But here is some history that you can research for yourself. This is what CAN happen when the people are disarmed, regardless of how much time passes before it actually occurs. Ask yourself this: can events like this even happen if the people are armed?
1911, Turkey
Established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, were rounded up and exterminated. Search Armenian Genocide.
1929, Soviet Union
Established gun control. In 1937, about 2million dissidents, including 30000 military officers, were rounded up and imprisoned or executed. Search The Great Purges
1935, China
Established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents were rounded up and exterminated.
1938, Germany
Established gun control. From 1939 to 1945, leaving a populace unable to defend itself against the Gestapo and SS. Hundreds of thousands died as a result.
The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let’s not have any native militia or native police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order throughout the occupied Russian territories, and a system of military strong-points must be evolved to cover the entire occupied country.” - Adolf Hitler, dinner talk on April 11, 1942, quoted in Hitler’s Table Talk 1941-44: His Private Conversations, Second Edition, Pg. 425-426.
1956, Cambodia
Established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, 1-2 million ‘educated’ people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. SPECIAL NOTE: The law was passed in 1956, but was not used for 20 years. But it WAS used.
1964, Guatemala
Established gun control. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
1970, Uganda
Established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. The total dead are said to be 2-3 million.”
Murder on Music Row, George Straight
“They thought no one would miss it, once it was dead and gone
They said no one would buy them old drinking and cheating songs (I’ll still buy ‘em)
Well there ain’t no justice in it and the hard facts are cold
Murder’s been committed down on music row.
[Chorus:]
Oh, the steel guitars no longer cry and you can’t hear fiddles play
With drums and rock ‘n roll guitars mixed right up in your face
Why, the Hag, he wouldn’t have a chance on today’s radio
Since they committed murder down on music row
Why, they even tell the Possum to pack up and go back home
There’s been an awful murder down on music row.”
GOP-e “conservatives”, the NFL, Jim Beam, `country music’—who needs `em? We were their supporters.
We’re separating the sheep from the goats now; there’s a winnowing going on, wheat from the chaff.
“The doctors that [treated] the wounded, they saw wounds like youd see in war. Thats not right.”
Because the wounds caused by 9mm handguns on the streets of Chicago make pretty wounds? Because the people killed in Chicago and East St Louis have wounds that don’t kill? They just die for fun? Because the wounds would have been much “nicer” if they had been done with a 243, or 7mm Magnum?
What is next? “People shouldn’t be allowed to own a 357, or a 38 special. Those are police guns. Same with 9mm. Those are for the police. Mere civilians shouldn’t be allowed to own anything but 22 LR derringers! Unless, of course, they works as body guards for Country & Western Pop singers...”
Look, Im a bird hunter I love to wing-shoot.
Hey birdbrain, bird lovers don’t think you need a gun for that either.
I don’t care what ignorant lefties think.
Tim & Faith, “common sense on guns,” = “We get guns, you don’t ‘cause we don’t trust you with them!”
When was the last time a pidgeon threatened your freedom per the Second Amendment?
Jackass.
