1. Nut jobs will take that as supporting stand your ground laws though. n/t

[IronLionZion]

2. Nut jobs engage in magical thinking with wild west fantasies

And should not be a part of writing gun regulations

[turbinetree]

3. I HATE THE NRA and I WON'T BACK DOWN

[IronLionZion]

4. Exactly

The people who want change, won't back down until we get sensible gun regulations.

5. And a Petty tune. Perfect.

[YOHABLO]

6. Perfect tune for the occasion and tribute to Tom Petty.

I think the message of that song for me, anyway, is we're not backing down to the NRA for some drastic gun legislation that makes the people of this country safer. Why should anyone have to fear now of going to outdoor concert?

7. Thank you for posting this.

What a perfect opening.

8. meh.

poor song choice (won't back down from whom or what? I don't think standing up to the NRA is the message he is trying to convey. something conveying our collective sadness and horror would have been more appropriate in my view).

singing flat.

doing Aldean shtick.

again, meh.

9. Great Petty tribute.

Curious he chose that song when Sam Smith was the musical guest. Smith agreed to pay royalties to Petty and Jeff Lynne because his song, Stay With Me sounds like I Won't Back Down.
