Did Johnny Cash favor gun control? Who knows? But his daughter and granddaughter are foursquare for firearms limits — and taking heat.
With a country music audience heavy with gun owners, the call didn’t go over well.
She later had to appeal for civility in comments.

“My precious daughter, Chelsea, was held up at gunpoint in the jewelry store where she worked. The gunmen held her for twenty minutes. I’m so grateful she was not killed and I’m also so acutely aware that the difference between me and the moms carrying the photos on the march is a split second. Do NOT tell me that Chelsea ‘should have had a gun.’ If she had, she’d be dead. She is not physically or mentally able to coolly aim a gun at someone who is already pointing a gun at HER, and fire sharp-shooter style at another human being while terror-stricken. Nor am I. Nor are millions of other people.”
