OK Shannon Watts, now do ANTIFA, BLM, and a lot of rap music. You know, since you’re so concerned with violence and all. No? Why not? Because you are a bunch of virtue signaling, identity politics-playing, phony cowards, that’s why. It’s amazing how decades of violence in other music and media create no expressions of deep concern from you and your mentally ill, politically slanted ilk.
Movies and video games? No. Violence against women? Nope. Burning down cities? Nuh uh. Violent attacks against people during “mostly peaceful” protests? Perish the thought. You remain radio silent during all of it as was the rest of the “elite” left.
All of the faux outrage and frenzied claims Aldean’s song incites violence just reveals the hysterical anti-gun left as being amazingly fragile and surprisingly weak. I’ll give them credit for at least knowing where their funding comes from and being smart enough not to bite that hand feeding them.
Small towns across the nation have been traumatized by mass shootings and everyday gun violence.
Jason Aldean’s new song echos the NRA’s dangerous “come and take them” rhetoric and demonstrates how fully the NRA twisted our cultural perception of guns.

The radical anti-gun left in this country continually pushes against those of us who take our Constitutionally protected freedoms seriously. And they’ve expanded their remit over the last few years, accusing everyone to the right of Bernie Sanders of being irredeemably heteronormative white supremacists and aspiring child killers, if not worse.
But when they encounter even the slightest pushback — in this case one relatively obscure country music song that’s been out for almost two months now — they dutifully fall into a predictable panic and apoplexy. The reaction to Jason Aldean’s song is a perfect illustration of this phenomenon, but it’s not the only one.
And just remember…the Streisand Effect is real.
The reaction to this whole kerfuffle on both sides should be a wakeup call and an inspiration to those who believe in freedom, the Constitution and the values that made this country great. The other side can’t stand any opposition and reacts to it like vampires in sunlight. They have no response to unapologetic people who refuse to cower before the likes of Shannon Watts et al. when something like the lyrics of “Try that in a Small Town” are heard.

Country Music Television pulled Aldean’s video and is now facing a backlash as a result, just like other companies that failed to understand their customer base. Ask Bud Light what forgetting who buys their products has done to their business.
In the end this should provide those of us who value our gun (and other) rights with inspiration for more of the same. It should inspire us stand up and defend our rights when they’re challenged, no matter how unhinged the other side becomes or how many corporate media outlets echo them. As they’ve made perfectly clear, they simply can’t take it when we do.
Standing up to them, presenting facts, refuting their lies, and flipping their own arguments back on them is like garlic to these hoplophobic blood-suckers. There is nothing wrong with wanting to keep your home, your friends, your family, your town, your state, and your country safe and there’s nothing wrong with saying so, as Aldean did in his song.
Don’t be afraid to say it yourself. Violence is not needed to make the point, but neither should violence from the other side be tolerated. Yes, you may be short a few Christmas cards in December by making your views known, but you also might gain a few more than you lose.
I think I’m going to mow my lawn and listen to some music.
