Country star Tim McGraw just went full retard...

COUNTRY SINGERS TIM MCGRAW, BILLY CURRINGTON HEADLINING GUN CONTROL FUNDRAISER

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.
Gun control renders law-abiding citizens defenseless, but it does nothing to stop criminals from carrying out their treachery. Because of this, the money McGraw and Currington raise will ultimately succeed in making it harder for law-abiding citizens to acquire and carry the guns they need for self-defense.
Story

Not to say anything to the intelligence of the Sandy Hook victims and their families, but at what point on 12/14/12 do they think more laws would have stopped Lanza? How about the law against murder? Oh that already exists. What about stealing guns? Nope, already there. How about bringing guns onto school property? Darn, already have that one too. Seems to me these people aren't for "gun control" they're for "full gun prohibition."

Meh, IMO a majority of celebrities are anti freedom and such behavior is to be expected.

So he's a Dixie Chick now? Good thing I don't care for country music or I might be pissed.

Not cool. Good thing there are plenty more country singers out there to support

I'd like to see what Toby Keith would say to Tim McGraw about this....

[vossman]

They probably paid him a lot of $$$$.

I just can't imagine they could pay him enough money to offset what he's going to lose by pissing all over 90% of his fan base. No, I suspect he's a true believer.

The backlash I'm already seeing all over social media is stating that early reports state that he's alienating most of his fans with this move... Will be entertaining to see his career fail.
