Bruce Willis: First it’s gun laws, then all your rights are gone
Bruce Willis has a new action hero role: defender of the 2nd Amendment.
Willis told the Associated Press that he opposes new gun control laws and said he fears that such tinkering will lead to an erosion of citizen rights.
“I think that you can’t start to pick apart anything out of the Bill of Rights without thinking that it’s all going to become undone,” Willis told the Associated Press.
---------------------------------
“If you take one out or change one law, then why wouldn’t they take all your rights away from you?” he told the news service.
Willis’ decision to speak openly on such a controversial topic is unusual. Celebrities don’t usually wade into politically charged commentary, especially when they’re promoting a movie. But then, what else would you expect from the man who plays wisecracking New York City cop John McClane in the “Die Hard” films?
I call BS to the author on the statement that it is unusual.....plenty of hollyweird's finest (?) speak out on a wide variety of political subjects.......just mostly against guns.
----------------------------------
Willis dismissed the idea of a connection between real-life violence and the type of violence depicted in the entertainment world — including his action films.
“No one commits a crime because they saw a film,” Willis told the Associated Press. “There’s nothing to support that.”
Willis suggested that quick fixes — such a new gun control laws passed in the wake of the Sandy Hook, Conn., massacre — cannot prevent future mass shootings.
“It’s a difficult thing and I really feel bad for those families,” Willis said. “I’m a father and it’s just a tragedy. But I don’t know how you legislate insanity. I don’t know what you do about it. I don’t even know how you begin to stop that.”

Better than Mel Gibson cashing in on shoot 'em ups while showing anti-gun posters, and spewing every anti-gun jargon there is ("Cop Killers" for one). But at least he was equal opportunity with his anti-fur message as well.

Actually "anti fur" is another aspect of the anti gun, anti meat, anti self reliance lobby.

Don't you know meat is murder?
I love the taste of murder, preferably grilled. ;D

Humor Tom, learn the concept. Remember Mel's anti-semetic rant when he got popped for DUI? Jeeze man, learn to appreciate a bit of sarcasm.

And another good point about Bruce Willis...
He had the good sense to ditch that bag of antlers, Demi Moore.
I'm just sayin'...

Dude I need glasses to read the large print. No way in hell I'm going to notice something that small unless I'm looking for it. ;D

Insurance and credit card companies must love you. ;D

Sadly they do. I've given up on using credit cards except one I only use for deposits on rentals and such, but if I had any other insurance than USAA I'm sure I'd have Flo with a strapon at my door sounding the Allstate guy telling me to spread 'em. ;D

Not sure why the image of Flo with a strapon keeps me chuckling, but it does.
I might even start looking forward to those commercials. ;D ;D
