I don't know where Mr. Freeman stands on hunting/shooting/RKBA.  Maybe somebody could check and see if this was just a "paying" gig for him or does he personally endorse DU?

This plays as a radio ad in my area, I think the reference to wetlands used for hunting, fishing and boating, probably means he's for a traditional duck hunt, or other waterfowl, that are regulated, and eaten.

Although, that vid of hog hunting from a helicopter with an AR, is most likely too much for ol' Morgan...

I always liked him as a kid on the Electric Company TV show,  ;D
Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

I was wondering the same thing.

No idea on guns, but he has to know what DU is about and its not like he needed the money. As I've said before, lets not turn off non-whites or liberals who may be sympathetic. Here's his bio. Sounds like a pretty interesting guy.

I always thought he was a good actor, but this comment from FQ's link REALLY stands out,

 "Freeman has publicly criticized the celebration of Black History Month and does not participate in any related events, saying, "I don't want a black history month. Black history is American history."[13]  He says the only way to end racism is to stop talking about it, and he notes that there is no "white history month".[14]  Freeman once said on an interview with 60 Minutes' Mike Wallace: "I am going to stop calling you a white man and I'm going to ask you to stop calling me a black man.

I'm not sure if he personally endorses them or not, but "Cowboys and Indians" a couple of months ago had a great interview piece where it talked about his ranch, horse, ect.  I wouldn't be surprised if he did personally support ducks unlimited.

Okay, you've got me convinced.  He's really a good guy.  I like what I'm reading and hearing.   Always enjoyed the roles he played as well.
