As leading artists and executives in the music industry, we are adding our voices to the chorus of Americans demanding change.
Music always has been celebrated communally, on dancefloors and at concert halls. But this life-affirming ritual, like so many other daily experiences—going to school or church or work—now is threatened, because of gun violence in this country.
The one thing that connects the recent tragedies in Orlando is that it is far too easy for dangerous people to get their hands on guns.
We call on Congress to do more to prevent the gun violence that kills more than 90 Americans every day and injures hundreds more, including:

Billboard should follow its own advice and so promoting street rap artists.
You mean like “Cop Killer”. Rap songs like that. You know, Bros before Hos. Those kind of positive messages?

The one thing that connects the onslaught of Lies and Propaganda after recent tragedies in Orlando is that it is far too easy for dangerous and Morally Bankrupt LIARS to get their hands on High Capacity Transmission Devices to spread their propaganda.
Possibly their armed security will keep you from getting too close to actually voice your opinion. First amendment for them, not for you so much. At least not on a grand platform that they have.
Isn’t “gun violence” already against the law? Do these idiots who say that you can’t legislate morality think that you can legislate away violence?
An open letter demanding a police state.

“...Stop Gun Violence Now...”
Stop Muslim Violence Now.
Stop Democrat Violence Now.
Right - all you Hollyweird nerds along with your Congress critters march into Chicago’s neighborhoods and tell them “Y’all now cut that out”
Meet ‘n greets in jeopardy. Fans won’t get to shake hands with Kenny Chesney.
LOL! This from a pile of rich pukes with armed security. ROTFL!
We need to prosecute criminals, not make more criminals by passing stupid laws.

Oh I don’t pay any attention to the lives of reality tv “stars” so I hadn’t even heard of that.
1. Ban all Muslims from entering the country; deport all non-citizen Muslims and put surveillance on all citizen Muslims.
2. Go into crime-infested areas and take the weapons away from the gangbangers, petty criminals, Nazis, methheads and drug gangs.
3. Lock up anyone too nasty or crazy to be trusted with firearms.
4. Then come back, and we’ll talk about it, since the problem will be almost completely gone. But we’ll STILL say NO to licensing, permitting and confiscation!
