Conservatives sputter in rage that Tim McGraw will headline ‘anti-constitution’ Sandy Hook benefit

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/04/conservatives-sputter-in-rage-that-tim-mcgraw-will-headline-anti-constitution-sandy-hook-benefit-concert/

Conservatives are firing up the outrage machine over news that country music superstar Tim McGraw will headline a benefit concert for Sandy Hook Promise, an anti-gun violence group organized following the 2012 elementary school shooting that left 26 dead.

Conservatives seem outraged that a country singer, coming from a musical genre usually associated with “traditional values,” would perform at a concert they consider anti-gun.

Writing at Right Wing News, Warner Todd Huston referred to the concert as “anti-constitution,” adding “If you wanted another reason to drop Tim McGraw from your playlist, here it is.”

At Breitbart.com, AWR Hawkins, blamed the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary on “gun control.”

It's high time for the left to counter these ridiculous labels tossed around by the right.

when did being for preventing mass school shootings become anti-constitutional? The extreme right does not have sole possession of naming rights per what is pro constitutional vs. anti-constitutional.

they really don't care who gets killed as long as the guns aren't damaged.
