Before you go on about Deadmau5 not being American, so what place does he have speaking about gun policy in the US, remember that common sense gun control isn’t governed by borders. After the events of his week at Parkland High School in Florida, the topic of guns has reached another fever pitch in politics and media, becoming a focal talking point in many conversations.
Plenty of DJs have already said their piece about the ordeal and the proposed policy changes they wished would follow, but deadmau5 was the latest to chime in yesterday, following President Trump’s meeting with Parkland students in the White House.
Deadmau5 even admitted the only time he’s feared an attack during a performance was in the US. Read his tweets below.

I'm a performer. I perform at festival events. So, should I like… buy a few ARs so I can protect myself? Sounds like an amazing idea right guys?
