this guy is dead wrong. I would love to here his suggestions for gun control. Take away all guns? Ban “assault rifles”? Ban ammo? I am sorry he went through this but give me a break. I have been in a horrific car crash but you didn’t see me saying I have driven and supported it all my life but we need car control. Enough is enough. I’ve never heard of this guy or his band. He makes it seem like he was the one on stage not Jason Aldean. Sounds ridiculous to me.https://www.dailydot.com/upstream/caleb-keeter-vegas-shooting/?fb=dd
Country guitarist who survived Vegas shooting: ‘We need gun control RIGHT. NOW.’

After surviving a shooting at a Las Vegas country music festival late Sunday evening—the deadliest in modern U.S. history—Josh Abbott Band guitarist Caleb Keeter has tweeted a plea for stricter gun laws.
In screenshots from a note written on his iPhone, Keeter first identified himself as a lifelong defender of the Second Amendment, which grants all Americans the right to bear arms. Previously he thought allowing civilians to own increasingly powerful firearms was fine because, theoretically, other gun-wielding Americans could step in if any fire broke out. But after surviving the Last Vegas attack, he said his perspective had changed.
“I’ve been a proponent of the 2nd amendment my entire life,” Keeter wrote. “Until the events of last night.”
“I cannot express how wrong I was. We actually have members of our crew with CHL licenses, and legal firearms on the bus. They were useless. We couldn’t touch them for fear police might think that we were part of the massacre and shoot us. A small group (or one man) laid waste to a city with dedicated, fearless police officers desperately trying to help, because of access to an insane amount of fire power. Enough is enough,” he said.
“Writing my parents and the love of my life a goodbye last night and a living will because I felt like I wasn’t going to live through the night was enough for me to realize that this is completely and totally out of hand,” he continued. “These rounds were powerful enough that my crew guys just standing in a close proximity of a victim shot by this f**king coward received shrapnel wounds.”
Keeter ended the letter with a call to action. “We need gun control RIGHT. NOW.” he wrote.
“My biggest regret is that I stubbornly didn’t realize it until my brothers on the road and myself were threatened by it. We are unbelievably fortunate to not be among the number of victims killed or seriously wounded by this maniac.”
In other news like I stated earlier, Nancy Pelosi has already used this tragedy to push her and her sick parties anti gun agenda. She made a statement and wrote a letter to Paul Ryan urging him to create a committee for gun violence. Saying the same old tired anti gun rhetoric that we hear after every shooting. And the time article even mentioned that Congress was set to vote to make “silencers” legal. I am so sick of the left and their lies and hypocrisy. What Americans have had enough of is people like her. But as long as we keep sitting by letting these types of scum ruin our country nothing is gonna change.
