My guess is that alot of those people are on that list or say they are anti gun for there image, but that theres also alot of them that have guns of there own. Actors have to present an image, notice how some of the highest paid actors were on there........ im sure they were just looking out for their dollar making abilities, and how people percieve them........... in their line of work i guess thats not horrible.


Granted im just assuming or surmizing, i could be wrong, but id like to think im right

 

[lovemachine]

So would you boycott movies and music from anti-gun celebs?

 

[BBSparkle]

I thought Marc Anthony had some trouble with the law over some domestic abuse AND drug abuse?

How come he gets to carry a gun when an average inner city working mom would have to jump through hoops of fire to show why she needs a gun to protect her children?

Hypothetical drama for drama's sake...

I actually do. I haven't seen any of Mark Wahlbergs movies since I found out. last one I saw was the Departed. He's also a convicted felon, so how is it that he gets to train with firearms and shoot them in movies being a felon and not go to jail? He went to jail for attempted murder, robbery etc He went to jail for breaking a homosexuals jaw and he is a notorious racist/homophobe.Mark Wahlberg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Same with Matt Damon and his boyfriend Ben Affleck. How can I enjoy watching that hypocrite in action? I'm not paying them a dime knowing that they spread that anti gun crap and fund movements for it with my money. hell no.

Here's the court records for that America/soldier hating hypocrite: Back In The Day: Marky Mark's Rap Sheet | The Smoking Gun

I also saw that he actually DID in fact shoot at a long range training ground in Nevada for the movie Shooter. How the heck does a guy like this get away with it, but an average guy would be in jail for 10+ for being a felon in possession of a firearm?

Lol'd at this.

Mark Wahlberg: [attempted]Killer, thief, homophobic, racist, ANTI-GUN.

What a stereotype.

ppl are entitled to beleive what they beleive, but i dont think it makes any of them less of an actor, or lessen the quality of their movies. And for the record ur not preventing them from getting money when you dont see the movie, because they already have either been paid by the studios, or have a contract stating they will get paid x amount upon completion of the movie............ sooooooo ya

True, but if the movies they are in don't make any money, and there is obvious public outcry against them, they aren't gonna get any more work after that.

I do agree that it doesn't affect their performance, and I often watch movies starring actors that are incredibly liberal. It's not like they're the ones doing the writing.

I could care less what celebrities do in their private lives, a good movie is a good movie.

 

[lovemachine]

It kind of makes me mad. You have actors like Sylvester Stallone, who got rich making action movies, with firearms in them. But in real life, they're anti-gun. If they are anti-gun, they SHOULDN'T be in movies with guns in them! I'd like to find out other anti-gun celebs. I'd even be curious to find out which celebs are totally pro-gun.

 

[Lucas156]

Lol'd at this.

Mark Wahlberg: [attempted]Killer, thief, homophobic, racist, ANTI-GUN.

What a stereotype.

I thought he was in new kids on the block too?

 

[Bill of Rights]

Some of the celebs who would surprise you are Drew Carey, Jimmy Walker, Clint Eastwood, Neal Peart, Kurt Russell, Howard Stern, Dixie Carter.

To be fair, I don't know that they're all pro-gun. I know that they're all libertarian, and I meet few libertarians (lower case) who are not also pro-gun.

To answer the question about how Wahlberg can be a convicted felon and not be arrested for being in possession of a firearm.... On the set, the props he holds are not likely to be real firearms. Off the set, training at a range... Maybe they had a police officer there to remain in actual possession of the gun even though he's training with it for his movie, or the producer might have filed a petition with the court to get special permission for him to do that. I'm just throwing out guesses, but while I think the law is bogus, as long as it is the law, I don't think there should be special exceptions made for the rich and famous.

Well said, but im a pretty liberal in most aspects other than my second amendment rights, not to mention guns are fun haha. So i cant not support them because they are liberal, im friends with people who have all kinds of beliefs and ideas. I also like alot of the actors on the list hahaha and they make some great movies. Like you said at the end of the day a good movie is a good movie, and im a movie buff so im gonna keep everything else separate. Plus i think to say that i dont support there movies because they are anti gun would be the same as i dont support anyone who is anti gun, and to put a blanket statement like that is kind of uneducated and ignorant.

 

[CandRFan]

That's funny...the first line in that article is "They might not be dangerous, but they're armed."

Meanwhile the rest of us here in the unclean masses...it doesn't seem to me that an article about the average American gunowner would start off with "They might not be dangerous, but they're armed."

 

[LCSOSgt11]

What a surprise...Mr. Jennifer Lopez has a gun permit. Will wonders never cease?

 

[Vic_Mackey]

The studios and the actors wont get a dime out of me lol. I have thought the same thing about how he could have been firing weapons and maybe had a cop there or something I don't know. I'll sign up for twitter and ask him lol I don't support places that I find are anti gun at all. I was shopping for my gf's kids birthday yesterday and went on craigslist to get what I needed because Baby's r Us had a big sign on there window saying no guns. Call me hard headed, but to each his own. USA!!!!

 

[BigMatt]

From the article:

"One reason for the rise in interest seems to be the vulnerability some celebrities feel in the Internet age, where so much personal information can be accessed online."

Like who is licensed to carry.

 

[AndersonIN]

Gun permit aren't easy, or cheap, to get. Applicants must show that they often carry large amounts of cash or valuables


Doesn't this describe MOST OF THE CRIMINALS?????

I looked up Clint Eastwood because he is one of my favorite actors. Here's an interview he had: Clint - PRO Gun proof

It's kind of hard to read, so here's a recap. He seems to lean libertarian for the most part, but he is a backer of the Brady Bill. He says that it promotes safety more than anything else. That being said, I still think this guy has far more common sense than most Hollywood Elites.

Also, here is a list of pro gun actors: Pro gun celebrities - TheFirearmsForum.Com

Ted Nugent is on there twice. haha
