Ho hum, another celebrity who is obviously ignorant of the fact that when gun clubs were quite common in high school, there was little or no violence whatsoever. What changed John ?

John Mellencamp has issued a blunt, powerful statement calling for gun control in America.
Posting on his social media channels, the 72-year-old singer/songwriter writes, "Excuse me for stating the obvious truth. I do so out of love for this country and the pain of learning, once again, that children have been killed by gun violence.
"If we as a country want to find the collective will within ourselves to change our gun laws, let’s stop playing silly political games. Show the carnage on the news. Show the American people the dead children and others who have been struck down. Show us what guns and bullets can do to the human body.
The angry comments beneath Mellencamp's statement are an indication of just how badly the issue of gun control divides US citizens.
One comment reads, "When I see what guns can do to children it makes me want to buy another gun to protect children from such carnage."

The problem is a general breakdown in society.
What does he propose to do about that? Make government the master of everything?
AND the illegal drugs coming through the border...
Over 100k a year.
JDAM accurate- boom!
It’s the culture that doesn’t respect life, the bonds of family, teaching that life has no meaning, confusing people as to who they are, etc. that has been fomented by his votes for Leftist politicians and the results of these policies on corrupting minds that has lead to these events.
Quite right! Excuse me for being blunt; but John “Mellonhead” GFY!
Rich people telling us that we shouldn’t guns - from behind their armed bodyguards and security.
I see your random crazy gun violence and raise you the systematic murder of citizens by a ruthless Government which has stripped away its citizens guns. With all the current weaponization of Law Enforcement , making them the only owner of firearms is getting scarier every day.
I’d offer my opinion, too, but apparently you have to be a washed up has-been to be heard in public issues, so I’ll keep my opinions to myself
Show the abortions then
Of course the rats would exclude all deaths from their inner city paradises.
What about the wake of all of BiXiden’s Illegals?
The wake of the Billion$ poured into Ukraine?
Let me know when they actually incarcerate the people who are killing the children with guns, instead of releasing them to kill again.
Yeah- can’t stand mellenkampf— what a poseur, right alongside his copycat subject springsteen. sorry, an opinion but based on the sound the two have tried to ping off each other to the “listening” public.
Mellonhead- love it. Like a made up bluesman’s stage name.
Wonder how “cougar” got in there as a middle name, but don’t care, there are several real pickers who matter so much more, legends, in fact.
This shitbag had the video of the negro dancing with the white woman when I was kid. So edgy, John. He’s talks a lot of shit for being 5’6”.
Yes I agree.
Show the weekly death toll from the inner city ant hills.
Show thier faces, ages, rap sheets, culminative time served, gang affiliations, All of it.
Let’s clear the decks once and for all.
Correct. If Melon head wants to see dead children, then turn on the Chicago news anytime. Plenty of dead black children every day.
