Hmm... Considers himself a "Second Amendment Guy"???



Eric Church blames NRA and Gun Lobby for Vegas Massacre

Eric Church, who was one of the headlining acts at the Route 91 Festival in Las Vegas, said the NRA is to blame for the mass shooting that occurred in October 2017.



A crazed gunman opened fire at the crowd of festivalgoers while Church's fellow country star Jason Aldean was performing, taking the lives of at least 59 people. It was the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

Church, who said he considers himself a "Second Amendment guy," blamed the NRA and gun lobbyists for being a "roadblock" to gun safety in a new interview.



"There are some things we can't stop," Church told Rolling Stone. "Like the disgruntled kid who takes his dad's shotgun and walks into a high school. But we could have stopped the guy in Vegas."

But he added, "I blame the lobbyists. And the biggest in the gun world is the NRA."

The "Desperate Man" singer said the NRA has "been a bit of a roadblock."



"I don't care who you are - you shouldn't have that kind of power over elected officials. To me it's cut-and-dried: The gun-show [loophole] would not exist if it weren't for the NRA, so at this point in time, if I was an NRA member, I would think I had more of a problem than the solution," Church argued. "I would question myself real hard about what I wanted to be in the next three, four, five years."

Church performed two nights before the shooting and despite not being present at the time of the deadly event, the experience did change his views on guns "a little."

so the guy in vegas bought his 27 rifles at a gun show? hmmmm

Eric Church is invited to Kiss my ASS!
Don

You can't fix stupid.

Well that's a dang shame. I thought he was more grounded than that.

Another idiot that doesn't realize the "Power" the NRA has over politicians is votes, not money.

Eric Church will regret this like Jim Zumbo regretted his idiotic AR-15 article.

I am glad you told me who he was.

And his basis for that opinion is worthless.

Let's blame grocery stores for people not eating right too.
That is something we could go on and on about.

I sure hope so.

"Gun show loophole" is propaganda speak for "give us universal gun registration."

Gun (and gun owner) registration precedes gun confiscation.

When Eric Church says he blames the NRA, he means he blames you and me.

Eric Church wants to disarm you and me.

Simple.

The only gun show loophole I know of is that if you join the NRA at the door you can get in free.

At least at the Nation's Gun Show opening this weekend in VA.

I think Eric Church is complicit in the massacre. If not for him as a headliner, perhaps their wouldn't have been a crowd and therefore no people would have died.

Hate that, I like his music. Why does he have to go and say something so ignorant and unfounded?

He is using his talent and fame to disarm us.

Anyone who claims to be a "Second Amendment Guy", and talks about the "gun-show loophole" is either a colossal idiot gunowner or a lyin' leftist piece of shit.

But blaming the NRA is his tell; the asshole is a leftist POS.

My bet is that he says he's a "gun guy" because it plays well with country music fans. He's no more a "gun guy" than your average D. But this is straight up hoof-n-mouth.

Every one of these idiots bring up the "gun show loophole". I'll be willing to bet, if pressed, they would not be able to explain what they mean.
