One of the questions asked of Taylor was about gun control.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i>\u201cI think the nation is very divided on gun control,\u201d Taylor told TheDC, \u201cbut I think the majority of us feel strongly \u2014 even the majority of gun owners feel strongly \u2014 that we need to make some sacrifice[s] to our freedoms, if that\u2019s the way to put it. We need to make some sacrifices to what we might want to have, in order to safeguard our children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think there\u2019s a limit to how much \u2014 I think the founding fathers wanted us to be able to arm ourselves, but I don\u2019t think that they would have agreed that we should have the capacity to do the damage that we do have. And we just can\u2019t afford it.\u201d<\/i>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\nJames Taylor may have seen fire and rain but I doubt he&#8217;s actually seen the wrath of those of us who he thinks should make some sacrifices. As it is, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/James_Taylor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">given his own mental health past which includes being rejected by the Selective Service on psychological grounds<\/a>, it is doubtful that he could truthfully answer &#8220;No&#8221; to question <a href=\"http:\/\/www.atf.gov\/forms\/download\/atf-f-4473-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">11f on the Form 4473<\/a>. I&#8217;d put him in the maybe yes, maybe no category.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nicholas Ballasy of The Daily Caller caught up with singer-songwriter James Taylor after he performed at the inaugural ceremonies&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":1,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[45,3376,3377],"class_list":["post-2632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-gun-control","tag-james-taylor","tag-the-daily-caller"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2632","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2632"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2632\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8763,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2632\/revisions\/8763"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2632"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
