Lib morning show host Tim Benz from station 105.9 The X walked off his show on Friday after arguing with pro-Second Amendment listeners.
He couldn’t take it anymore.
Trib Live reported:
Tim Benz, co-host of the Morning Show on alternative rock radio station 105.9 The X, left the air Friday after arguing with listeners about his support of stricter gun laws.
“There was a flare-up about gun control on the show, which included a good deal of flashback against the station,” Benz said. “I wasn’t able to walk away from the fight … (so) I decided to step away from the Morning Show.”
The argument stemmed from a Pittsburgh gun shop’s recent giveaway of hundreds of rounds of ammunition, high-capacity magazines and an AR-15 military-style rifle on its Facebook page.
Erik Lowry, owner of Pittsburgh Tactical Firearms, which bills itself as “America’s Largest Online Firearms Mall,” gave away the gun and ammo. He said he did not hear the show but heard about Benz’s decision.
Benz’s comments on guns drew predictable reaction for this part of the country, Lowry said.
Benz concedes he is passionate about the issue of gun control. He said his polarizing opinions seem to be misunderstood.
“When you’re a morning show host in a town of blue-collar workers who love their guns and the Second Amendment, you’re going to (anger) a lot of people,” he said…
…Benz is the husband of Kate Benz, a social columnist for the Tribune-Review.
