Did he, or anyone in his crew, take up their arms and shoot the killer? Nope. Not a one. What did Jason Aldean do then, you might ask? Glad you asked. He ran from his spot, ducked behind stage equipment, and ran off stage from there.
He wrote his current song knowing full well that it would divide people even further and knowing full well that he wouldn't do any such thing as take up arms against an enemy. He would run from the enemy. He already showed that's what he would do.
And frankly - he was right to run. Standing still and trying to shoot back would've been stupid, and potentially even more lethal than running.
But he would have everyone ELSE shoot back. That's what the problem is. It's false bravado intended to rile up someone's base.

None of what you wrote is true... Nothing but a false narrative...
Shoot back? Did he (or his crew) have rifles (or any type of gun) onstage? Of course not? I'm sure the Mandalay Bay Hotel had a strict "no firearms policy" at the concert... Exactly WHO would he have "shooting back"?
He ran? Nope. His security team did their job and came on stage and grabbed him, dragging him to safety...
He wrote his current song KNOWING FULL WELL it would divide? Were you in on the creative process? You know this how?
