Kesha Calls Gun Violence ‘An Epidemic in America’

Kesha recently spoke to Glamour about her stance on gun violence, calling it “an epidemic in America” that “affects everyone.”

During her interview with Glamour, Kesha said, “growing up in America, it’s all too common to hear about people getting shot on an everyday basis. It breaks my heart and makes me sick every time I hear of innocent people being killed by guns.”

Kesha said she understands the second amendment, but she believes, “our first right as humans is to live.” She told Glamour, “I believe in keeping America as free as anyone else, but as a fellow human being we need to open this discussion up for real change. We have to do something to keep ourselves, our families, and all our brothers and sisters safe—we are all in this together.”

In July, the singer spoke and sang at the Americans for Responsible Solutions PAC event, which was sponsored by former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords.
