He wrote an anti gun control song in 2009 called "Come and take it".
Here are the first few lyrics:
"deep in the heart of texas, back in 1835
the folks of gonzales had freedom on their mind
it was all because of a cannon
that had kept their colony safe
but then general santa anna sent some mexican troops
to take the big gun away
you know what those colonists said?
come and take it if you want it!
come and take it if you think you can!
come and take it but we'll warn you
you'll have to pry it from our cold dead hands
we want the freedom that god gave us
so you best not cross that line
if you want this gun, you gotta come through us
and take it one shot at a time"
