Most people live in cities not small towns anymore.
But Heavy Metal has the same type issue
Four years after terrorists attacked an Eagles of Death Metal show in Paris, Hughes' Second Amendment views remain the same.
On Nov. 13, 2015, during the band's show at the Bataclan theater, terrorists with automatic rifles, grenades and suicide vests killed 89 people. It was one of several terrorist attacks across Paris that left 130 dead, leading to
a two-year state of emergency in France.
The country has some of the toughest gun restrictions in the world, only allowing ownership for hunting or sportsmanship, and requires constant renewals and psychological evaluations.
"I trusted in (their) gun control and I was in a country where no one can own a gun. It's been that way for 100 years and until someone can explain to me how it stopped the bad guys from being the best armed attackers, then I'm not interested in hearing about that as a solution for what's currently plaguing us," Hughes said. "In Texas,
there was just a church shooting that ended because of an armed parishioner. We can't pick and choose the examples we're going to have for this argument because people are dying, and I feel like we're asking, 'Do we really want to stop a problem, or are we saying no matter what, we want to take away guns?'"
'I danced my way through it,' the Eagles of Death Metal frontman says.
