David Hogg retweeted this from Shannon Watts.
In @RollingStone, country music singer Eric Church calls out the @NRA for being a "roadblock" to gun reform: “…we could have stopped the guy in Vegas. I blame the lobbyists. And the biggest in the gun world is the NRA.” https://t.co/H91GROqo3m

I have no idea who Eric Church is so I turned to Google to look him up.
These were my first two search hits:
Fox News: Eric Church says NRA is to blame for Las Vegas festival mass shooting
Rolling Stone: Eric Church on Meeting Obama: ‘Found Him Nothing But Great’
After a bit more scrolling, I found out he’s a country music singer.
Country. Music. Singer.
Does this dumb ass know what happened to the Dixie Chicks when they insulted George W. Bush?
He’s blamed the NRA for a mass killing and praised Obama, and he’s a country music singer.
Does he know what a typical country music fan is like or where country music is most popular?
Here’s a map of the popularity of country music by YouTube music video searches:
Here is a map of the counties Trump won:
Notice anything?
Yeah… I hope this Eric Church guy has his money properly invested because his record sales are about to go to shit.
Go Woke, Go Broke.
I like country music ( I like almost ALL music from Garth Brooks to Franz List to Asking Alexandria) but I never really liked his. Now I have a better reason to keep on not liking it.
I think it may pay to remember that not everyone – not even most country music fans – pay a whole lot of attention to politics. The dude’s got an opinion. Nobody cares. If he’s popular now, he’ll probably keep being popular. Or not. That’s how things go in the music business.
Also: the Dixie Chicks are still around and doing fine.
It should be noted, Tim McGraw is a raging liberal idiot as well. There are enough “pop country” fans who are either politically apathetic or liberal to keep these people afloat. These are the types of people who like Eric Church or the Dixie Chicks but scoff at Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings.
“…we could have stopped the guy in Vegas. I blame the lobbyists. And the biggest in the gun world is the NRA.”
Really? How?
What laws except complete repeal of the 2A and confiscation could have had any impact on Las Vegas?
So, no I will not comply and Molon Labe!
