Tech N9ne has been directly affected by gun violence. In 2011, a member of his tour crew, Michael Jones, was shot six times and killed while he was talking on his cell phone outside Tech's tour bus after a show in Reno. So it was fitting that AOL connected with Tech to talk about the recent Sandy Hook shootings, gun control in America, and more. Read his quotes below.
On the Sandy Hook shootings.
On pegging the shootings on poor mental health.
On guns in the entertainment industry.
On the black market for guns.
On the name Tech N9ne and how it can be taken the wrong way.
On music being an escape for troubled kids.
