McGraw pushed back, giving a statement to the Washington Post explaining his intent: "As a gun owner, I support gun ownership. I also believe that with gun ownership comes the responsibility of education and safety — most certainly when it relates to what we value most, our children. I can't imagine anyone who disagrees with that."
He said he had seen firsthand how the Sandy Hook tragedy affected families and felt their pain. One of McGraw's band members has friends who lost a son in the Dec. 14, 2012, incident in which 20 students and six teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School were gunned down in a mass shooting.

Just like Democrats. Instead of empowering individuals, they want to form a "committee" to "study" what should be done.

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
