Dave Matthews rails against gun violence: ‘No one is coming for your guns’

Dave Matthews says lawmakers have been able to convince the nation that the public is “powerless” against gun violence and the “vulnerability of innocent people in this country is a sacrifice we have to make if we want to be truly American.”

“It’s so mind-bogglingly cruel. It’s insanity,” the Dave Matthews Band frontman said in an interview with USA Today, published Friday.

“I have no idea how people can stand up and say it’s ‘not guns’ and ‘it’s not the [National Rifle Association],’ it’s just mental health. And then do nothing to address the fact that from the ‘80s we’ve closed every mental health institution we can in this country,” added the 56-year-old songwriter, promoting his band’s latest album, “Walk Around the Moon.”

Dave. You are a traveling musician. Please stay in your lane.
Dave Matthews has a very devoted fan bass.
I’ve always found his performances to be severely sleep inducing.
Better than Melatonin and Green Tea.

They’ll stop reassuring us that “no one is coming for your guns” after they have taken our firearms.

Put “No one is coming for your guns” on the back of the shirt that says “No one is coming for your gas stoves.” People never learn.

Isn’t it amazing how the left spent the last 70+ years shredding every standard of decency and tearing apart every fabric of Christian heritage from Western society and now they blame the victims for the fallout of their destruction. They never take responsibility. “We destroyed everything decent in society but now you have to give up your guns because society is falling apart”.

These people are satanic in my opinion.

This guy is a complete jerk. Treats others like crap. He stayed a week at a hotel in Nashville I worked in.

Berated everyone.

Dave Matthews gets to define who “is truly American.”

He's certainly welcome to return to his birthplace since he's unhappy about our Constitutional rights. Oh wait, he ran from South Africa rather than serve his mandatory military draft down there. Anywho, I'm sure there's another Country that would be better suited to his beliefs. It's a big world out there.
