Eric Church

[Igor]

"The gun-show [loophole] would not exist if it weren’t for the NRA".  There is no such thing as a "gun-show loophole".  That shows me right there how much of a Second Amendment supporter he is.  He is an idiot, to put it politely.

I don't believe that Paddock was the shooter, but even if he was I don't see how Eric Church can conclude that the NRA is to blame. 

If he really was a 2A supporter, it seems he wouldn't be bad-mouthing the NRA like that.  If he really believes what the government tells us about Paddock being a crazy lone gunman, then he needs to realize that Paddock alone is responsible for the shooting.

A lot of young people probably look up to the guy and they maybe read RS and will probably like what EC is saying.........he likes Bernie Sanders and hates the NRA. 

Is that what you really got from reading the Rolling Stone article?  Or is that what you concluded from the Fox News article about an article?

Just another ignorant entertainer running thier gums about stuff they dont understand.... not really a shocker... sad tho because I liked his music.

Both actually.  The Fox News article headline says Eric Church blames the NRA and it links the RS article in the text of the article.  Then you read the Rolling Stone article and see the quote:

“There are some things we can’t stop,” he adds. “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.” As for why nothing’s been done? “I blame the lobbyists. And the biggest in the gun world is the NRA.”

There isn't? Less than 25% of states require a background check for private sales.

If you used gun show loop hole to describe private sales your an idiot.

If you believe the kind of program we have here in this state will accomplish detering crime...  or keeping guns out of criminals hands then keep drinking a little drink and smoking a little smoke.

I see what you did there.

We all have opinions.  He still is a 2nd amend supporter right?  Good.  I don't agree but I can respect his views from his own experiences in life.  I am not a big fan though.  He does reflect the larger modern views and we must recognize that for our future actions.

[Curly]

But is he really a 2A supporter?  He says he is, but the other stuff he says makes one wonder if he really is a 2A supporter?  I guess being a supporter these days is NOT being anti-2A........

I'm in no way expressing my views on the topic. It's just my understanding that the "Gun Show Loophole" is just political term to describe the ability to buy guns from private parties, including at gun shows, without a background check. Is that not correct?

No, there is NOT.  I can remember when I was a kid my Dad collected guns.  He bought them from neighbors, acquaintances, etc.  He even belonged to a gun club, and they bought, sold, and traded with each other.  Those were private sales between individuals......and gun shows had nothing to do with it......nada, zilch, zero.  Background checks did not exist in any state.  Now, anti-gun zealots have decided to blame all of the murders and mayhem on everything but the individuals committing these crimes.  They blame the NRA and gun shows.  Voila......what used to be a private sale is now a "gun-show loophole" sale.  Such sales were, and always will be private sales between individuals, no matter what the anti-gun zealots decide to call them.  Sounds like you have swallowed their anti-gun terminology hook-line-and-sinker.

I think he supports some other 2nd amendment.  He doesn't think someone should be allowed to have lots of AKs or  lots of ammo.  Sounds like he doesn't even like ownership of ARs.  Thinks private sales should be outlawed.

The hand that feeds him and most country performers tends to not be the group supporting those kinds of restrictions...kind of reminds me of a guy that kneels at football games and can't figure out why he isn't on a team anymore.

Exactly.  If we eliminated all people who had a more conservative/moderate view of 2nd amend views then how many would be left?  I suspect if people like minded to Church were removed support would take a significant downturn.  Inclusive not exclusive.  Tolerant.  Must be or we all lose.  Is he just a talking head?  Dunno, maybe, but the point is still relevant.  We need any/all support possible to succeed.  Win the war not just 1 battle!

In all fairness he said that if someone has that many AK's and that much ammunition somebody should know about it.  That can mean a lot of things.

Dude! I've swallowed nothing, although a cold beer sounds pretty good!
