Pro-2nd amendment musician changes his mind after being personally affected by gun violence and realising all the weapons he and his 'brothers' had were useless for multiple reasons. Highlights a startling lack of empathy among a significant portion of the American public, but ultimately better late than never if he remains vocal on his position.
America will never improve as a nation until it can admit and accept that it has failed as a nation. So much good has come out of it which has enriched the entire world, granted, but by clinging to the ideals that it's forefathers enshrined in its constitution hundreds of years ago means it is simply rotten to the core.
Americans are people, and people cannot be trusted with 'freedom'. People are dickbags, who go on shooting sprees when girls don't want to have sex with them. People who jack up the price of life saving drugs by 1000% for profit. People who want to cut their own taxes for a few extra million at the expense of others who struggle to keep a roof over their heads. People who boo an athlete for protesting during the anthem but celebrate their own liberation every July.
The American society of today has not lived up to the ideals upon which it was founded. It was a noble attempt but it has failed miserably. Americans aren't born any extra special than the rest of us and haven't earned any extra freedoms. The sooner it can accept that unfortunate truth, only then can it move forward.
In the meantime, those people with their heads in the sand will keep their elected officials on their side, especially with all the money being poured into their pockets.
