People on Facebook are stupid!

[MikeBjerum]

Average people go on Facebook and get stupid!  Stupid people go on Facebook and remain stupid!

Today the big thing is to pass around a photo of Clint Eastwood and his supposed stance on gun control:  ... If there is a gun in the room I want control of it.  Just like Clinton, Brady, Feinstein, Franken, Pelosi, et al.

Clint votes republican, but is anti-Second Amendment.  He supports waiting periods, he supports the Brady Bill, he supported the Clinton ban, and he doesn't understand why anyone would need an "assault weapon."  These quotes come from as recent as last year.

He is no different that the rest of our Hollywood nannies who make their millions sensationalizing violence, scaring the sheep, and then promoting unconstitutional legislation.

Sorry to hear that. I can only think of about three Clint movies where he didn't shoot somebody or threaten to do so, and one of them involved him co-starring with a monkey. I would think he would at least recognize the hypocisy in this. Oh well, it all comes out I suppose.

Yup!  Now join me in pointing that out to the idiots who are supposedly a part of the gun culture but are posting him as a hero.

A little intergrity? Hell he sold more .44 mags than BO has ARs. Lets at least recogonize that what we do everyday has consequences. I got that message early on as a teacher, and every cop and soldier gets it from day one of basic training. Why is it so freaking hard for Clint to get it? If he's anti-gun, make some romantic comedy chic flic, no harm in that. I mean, the guy who starred in McGyver is an anti-gunner, so he made sure the heros never used guns. I disagree, but I respect his integrity. But Clint, don't make "The Unforgiven" as your swan song and then come for my gun. Fuzz you (and no, you have not made my day).

And you are WRONG! Richard Dean Anderson also starred in Stargate SG-1 for what 10 seasons. He played and Air Force Colonel who had NO problem using guns.

Is a P-90 really a gun? It looks more like something Mattel churned out. Besides, he wasn't in control of that show. He was on McGyver and it was no guns. (and I can't belive I'm defending the guy) But "The Unforgiven" was Clint's baby, starred , produced and directed. He wasn't taking anyone else's orders or working for a paycheck. It was his baby and a great flick. But don't make something like that and then tell me I don't need a handgun.

You are trying to have it both ways again. If he had TRUE integrity, he would turn down any role in which his character wielded a gun.

Lets just agree that we both disagree with these guy's poslitics and that their positions on guns suck. I'm not going to get into an argument defending a guy I think is an A-hole. The point is that if you are a millionare from wielding guns on screen, either respect the 2A or STFU. Your call. But I swear, the next "Action hero" that comes our against guns is going to get my boot up his ass, I don't care how many steroids he's on.
