Anti-Gun Actors
« on: October 03, 2007, 07:44:21 PM »
Actor Mark Wahlberg has a new shoot-em-up movie coming out next week. I don't know if you caught him trashing the NRA and Charlton Heston at an MTV movie awards show, with his pal George Clooney at his side. If you are anti-gun that is fine with me, just don't go around making your living doing movies where all you do is shoot people. If it were not for the NRA, this guy would not even have access to guns for his movies. I also read that he is a convicted felon, so I really don't see how he is allowed to handle firearms. I realize that there are a lot of prop guns in movies, but somewhere along the line he has his hand on a real gun. Shooters should not support a joker like this by watching his movies or buying/renting the DVD. What does the community think?

If we boycotted every anti-gun actor, director, musician, or whoever, we'd rarely ever watch ANY movies or listen to music. Yeah he's an Anti-Gun felon creep, but us not watching his movie isn't gonna change that or hurt him any.

Pro-gun actors would be a lot shorter list.  But, I'm all for boycotting these guys, even if it just makes you feel a little better.  :)

That might be a nice "press release" to get to the networks...how the guys that make milliions killing onscreen (and often employing very poor handgun practice) are actually anti-gun. We need a champion that has access to the media....

I sure did not know that.  I just bought the movie "Shooter" and I sure as hell would not have bought it if I had known the idiot was anti-gun.  How in the crap a person could make a movie like that and be against guns is beyond me.

Mark Wahlberg was the topic of a lot of print by NRA and I believe that Mr. Bane hit on it also.  How can anti-gunners cry for more and more laws when they don't even enforce the ones on the books.  To date I have not heard that Mark Wahlberg's status as a convicted felon has changed in a way that would have allowed him to even think about touching those guns he handled and fired to make the movie "Shooter."

I can't obtain a gun without paperwork and background check, but activist actors can make a living illegally using guns we would all love to shoot.

Didn't he also spend some range time with real rifles and Spec Ops?  That would be a big no no for a felon.

I am for the short list of pro-gun actors and directors.  :)  Much easier to maintain.
