Proud conservative country music singer John Rich posed a challenge this week to those of his peers in the industry who believe gun bans are the only solution to gun violence: He asked them to think outside of the box and come up with a real solution that’d satisfy everybody.

In a video for Fox News, he explained that the problem with simply banning certain guns is that it’d leave families — including his own — less prepared to protect themselves from actual criminals.

Anyone seen the Dixie Chicks recently?
There’s a reason for that.
Dierks is going to find himself right next to them in the cutout bin at Wal-Mart.

I liked some of Eric Church’s music and bought some mp3s. Then I heard him run his mouth about the NRA. Needless to say, I won’t be buying any more of his music. Does he not know his audience or not care?

Say what you will about Michael Jordan, but at least he knew when to zip it for marketability’s sake, even though some majority of his costumers agree with his politics. This would be like Michael Jordan going off on the NAACP figuring it wouldn’t hurt his brand and sales.

Never forget none of these “God and Country” frauds were willing to perform at Trump’s inauguration. Wife cheater Garth even reneged after saying he would.

Rich was on Gutfield last night and made a great tribute to WWII heroes, including his grandfather.

Even John missed the point here. Imagine what the political landscape would look like without 400 million guns in private hands.

But yet they act in movies using guns. Hypocritical much?

"Even John missed the point here. Imagine what the political landscape would look like without 400 million guns in private hands."

One of Stalin's generals said that they needed to talk about the occupation of America after the Soviets won the war.

Stalin's reply, "You don't occupy a country that has 200 million snipers."
(Or, something similar to that)

Real support of gun confiscation from fake country music “stars.”

No thank you to both.

Easy answer. Pick up all drug dealers, gang members, crazy people, homeless people, unemployed people and drop them in a prison with 100 ft walls and a roof. There are no doors out. It would have to be a very large prison.

Then install an Israel type fence complete with twin auto 50’s and Claymores around the whole country. No Internationals flights allowed.

Next medicate the remaining population with flyover Prozac weekly.

Too bad someone didn't trademark the term “country music” years ago to prevent it from being hijacked by lawyers who sell noise.

If authorities ever place me in a room and force me to listen to the stuff robotically manufactured in Nashville today, I will confess to anything.
