AmmoLand – by AWR HawkinsWashington DC – -(Ammoland.com)- In a recent interview with the Huffington Post, Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder used his constitutionally-protected freedom of speech to lash out over the lack of new gun control laws and to criticize those who are pro-gun for “hiding” behind the constitutionally-protected right to keep and bear arms.
Vedder said he cannot understand why Congress refuses to pass more gun control “to put a dent in some of this insanity that’s happening.” He said he is so angry over it that if he didn’t “take the aggression out” through music, citizens “wouldn’t want [him] having a gun either.”
I get so mad I almost wish bad things upon these people. But I don’t have to because it seems like they happen anyways. It seems like every week I’m reading about a 4-year-old either shooting their sister, their dad, their dog, their brother or themselves, because there’s f—ing guns laying around.
Vedder then criticized Second Amendment proponents for “hiding” behind the U.S. Constitution and the idea that owning a gun is “fun.”

Screw that washed up SOB. I am tired of hollywood and the music indutry putting theit two cents in about these things. Most of these freaks havent even read the Bill of Rights or Constitution. He says we are hiding behind the 2nd Amendment. He couldnt be further from the truth. I dont know any Patriot that hides his views on the Bill of Rights. I wish we could put all of these socialist POSes in one state and let them try their little commie experiment. They would all starve to death in a couple of months.
never did like pearljam
MOLON LABE
That’s a shame, I really like Pearl Jam.
But something a lot of us need to remember is that they’re giving their perspective and they don’t know the difference between their perspective and the perspective of others. Actually, most people don’t.
Let him throw away those millions and live among the riff raff like the rest of us. He’ll see the value in guns and see how the risks of ownership are overshadowed by the necessity.
Don’t value the opinions of the rich and famous … their perspective is of no use to us. Not all of us get to live protected and pampered lives.
Eddie Vedder has put forth evidence of his committing sedition against our Bill of Rights. A punk like this will not be in the fight on either side, but we will assure him of his government monopoly on gun ownership when we beach his treasonous ass on the Siberian shores in a deportation barge. F#@k this punk and we will add him and his music to our boycott list.
Same here.
It’s a crying shame that mainstream America even listens to these Hollywood / showbusiness morons at all. Or, maybe they don’t, it’s just that the Zionist-controlled media shoves them down our throat.
It seems like every week I’m reading about a 4-year-old either shooting their sister, their dad, their dog, their brother or themselves, because there’s f—ing guns laying around.
uhh… this traitor is so high that maybe someone needs to point out to him that it is the police who shoot your 4 yr old, your sister, your dad, your dog, your brother and you on a regular basis.
Hey Eddie Vedder… pull the needle out of your vein and step away from the crack pipe, and tell us how much fame and glory your satanists handlers promised you to say that crap. Who is this clown anyway???
Pearl Jam… bunch of losers. I don’t know one song from them
Actually Smilardog, that Eddie Vedder guy reminds me of some damned rehab councelor that talks this kind of crap during the day and then goes to the game farm – like that “cat scratch fever” guy does – and shoots a fenched/domesticated deer, elk, tiger, feasant, what ever. Or he would go to the local cop shooting range. Most dope feinds I have known were way more awake than this Vedder guy seems to be acting like – heck they have to be to keep their habit un-noticeable 🙂
I knew it!!!!! When I said that this Illuminati peace of cr@p would get some kind of benefit or payoff from stating something like this that his handlers would take care of him.
Well, my son subscribes to Rollingstone Mag and sure enough they have a full page picture of him and an article about them, and various stuff throughout the magazine and on their website too.
It will be Hemp Rope and Windchimes for the traitor… after the trial of course
And only after shooting him up with meth and forcing him to listen to 20 straight hours of Mariachi music. 🙂
Buahahaha!!! You crack me up, #1
Make it good meth and 40 straight hours.
He’ll be BEGGING for death at that point. LOL
I know I would be.
LOL that would be funny #1 🙂
🙂
He says hiding behing it, I say in front gaurding it
Yep Brent, I say the same too, we are standing tall side by side with the 2`nd as well as rest of our Bill Of Rights guarding it.
This guy Eddy knows nothing about guns,.
Guns are neutral …….sit one on a table, walk off and it will stay to infinity in time.
The problem isn’t guns.
The problem is Evil, itself.
Evil is not neutral………..it begs itself to destroy.
Music also can be evil.
When used in that manner.
Someone should clue him in that he has a gun in his hand when used in an evil manner….
I knew this one would get tempers flaring.
This clown needs his clock cleaned, but good.
Well, I USED to love Pearl Jam….until now. USED to think Vedder was a class-act….until now.
Used to buy their DVD’s….until now. The ones I already own will soon become nothing more than a target at the local range.
Vedder….you’re a loser !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The guys an artist what on earth does he know?
Stick to writing music and keep your politics to
yourself.
Yes, I agree. The SOB is abusing his celebrity status and therefore doesn’t deserve to be a celebrity. Maybe if he didn’t have to spend much time on music he would have more time to study civics, history, philosophy and especially common sense.
Eddie Vetter is a seattle libtard who drinks the commie coffee. May both of his thumbs rot off.
Hey there captain monotone!!! Leave the gun shootin to us n we’ll leave the dope shootin to you!!
Buahahaha!!! Good one Icky
Eddie who?
-flek
I never knew who he was until this article either
I’ll bet his bodyguards are armed – how’s that for hypocrisy?
Bye bye Pearl Jam – I’m deleting every piece of their music I own. Too bad, I *used to* like ’em.
