Jack White Talks Gun Reform

Jack White is calling for gun control following the shooting at a Uvalde, Texas elementary school that left 19 children and two teachers dead.

In a statement on social media, the artist called for “new rules” that “save lives and protect us from serious harm.”

He went on to say:

“As we tour in Texas these past few days, I can’t help but to feel saddened in so many ways about the latest in a long line of mass shootings, but mostly I’m exhausted.  Exhausted with the ignorant excuses about the inability to fix this problem, exhausted with people clinging to their political party or their ‘side’ instead of looking at the issue. Exhausted with people whining about their ‘freedom’ being more important than rules that help save lives. Like the traffic light on the road, and the warning label on poison, or the regulation of who can buy sticks of dynamite or own a surface to air missile, we already have rules, haven’t you noticed? So how about a few more rules then that ALSO save lives and protect us from harm? Maybe rules that save your own children or loved ones lives some day?” 

If you are against gun reform, why are you against it?
