Bill Engvall owes gun owners an apology

Engvall needs to realize that the folks who buy tickets to his performances, who watch him on TV, who purchase his DVDs and who hire him to entertain their members aren’t the smug and snarky Maher crowd. [More]
This afternoon's Gun Rights Examiner commentary offers a path to forgiveness and reconciliation.

Well, as stupid as his opinion seems to me, I don't think he owes me an apology since he can express his ideas via his first amendment rights. Even when considering ethics or morality or the right way to say things, I don't think an apology is due, at least not unless he said what he did just to be a flamer, just to get the show rolling at the expense of others.

Instead of him owing any of us an apology, I think we might express how we feel about his opoinion by refusing to buy into any of his entetainment be it on TV, on cable, on CD or whatever form of media spreads it; and we should also let the distributors of the media nd Mr. Engvall know how we feel and what we are doing about it.

He may aplogize then, or better yet, he may retract his statements and stop making what are in my opinion such ridiculous statements.

All the best,
GB

So Engvall doesn't believe he should own an AK. That's fine. He should just shut up about what other, non-Fudd, gun owners, should own.

I agree that Engvall has the right to express his opinion. And since he's done so, thankfully, it will save many of his former fans from ever supporting him again.

His recording are going in the trash tonight. He doesn't have contact info on his website, so He won't ever know how many fans he just lost, or why ticket sales are going onto the toilet.

Mr. Engvall, your stance on guns, as espoused on the Bill Maher Show, leaves me appalled! And what possessed you to even appear on that unfunny communist's show? With all the corruption in government today that is leading toward tyranny, for you to denigrate the 2A as you have leaves you siding with the statists who wish to destroy this country from within.

None of this position is Constitutional, American, or even Texan. (Yes, I know you are from Texas. What happened? Did living in the Volksrepublik of Kollyvornia burn out the Texan in you?)

After this, all I can say is, "Here's your sign!" And this time, it ain't even funny.

Dang! I wish he had a point of contact on his website. He needs to see this.
