Tim McGraw wants 'common sense' gun control

Waving to his armed bodyguards

Country music singer Tim McGraw wants what he calls "common sense" gun control. This comes just a few weeks after the Las Vegas shooting that killed 58 people and injured hundreds more at a country music festival.

"Shucks, if there was a law against having so many guns, especially guns with bump-stocks, this tragedy woulda never happened."

Of course McGraw didn't really say that but he's dumb enough to believe it.

In an interview with Billboard, he and his wife, Faith Hill, he actually said that gun rights are "not about the Second Amendment." He said that common sense needs to be part of the conversation.

Gun rights are NOT about the Second Amendment???

"Look, I'm a bird hunter--I love to wing-shoot," the hypocrite said as his security team scanned the room for possible terrorists. "However, there is some common sense that's necessary when it comes to gun control. They want to make it about the Second Amendment every time it's brought up. It's not about the Second Amendment," he emphasized, revealing how little he knows about the U.S. Constitution and the Second Amendment in particular. 

"In reference to the tragedy in Las Vegas, we knew a lot of people there," McGraw said, believing that because he knew someone there, it gave his claim credibility. "The doctors that treated the wounded, they saw wounds like you'd see in war. That's not right."

Of course that isn't right, you moron, but what does that have to do with gun control?

The problem that we're seeing lately isn't that we need more gun control, we need to better uphold the law regarding gun control. 

The church massacre in Sutherland Springs, Texas is a prime example of how a person who never should have gotten a gun slipped through the cracks. 

The U.S. Air Force gave the shooter a Bad Conduct Discharge and never put him in the federal data base. The shooter once escaped from a mental hospital and served time in military prison. He beat his wife and fractured the skull of his step-son. He was legally ineligible to own a firearm.

It isn't that we need more gun control--we need to ensure that it works and people are held responsible for when it doesn't. 

You want something to screw up--give it to the government to handle.

McGraw and Hill performed at the Country Music Association Awards this week. McGraw also said that military-style assault weapons should not be available to civilians, and called on the NRA to acknowledge the danger of civilians owning such weapons. He naively said it would make for a "safe country," but had not a shred of evidence to make that claim.

They don't use "assault weapons" in Chicago--they use "assault handguns."

Generally, there's no way to prevent a crazy person with a gun, a knife, a car, axe, baseball bat or a truck from killing innocent people. But it was a hero with an "assault rifle" that stopped the Texas shooter from killing more people.

McGraw is just another liberal with armed bodyguards who knows better than the rest of us peons what's best for the world.
