Oh The Hypocrisy Of The Lefties On Guns

[Robert Barney]

George Clooney and Oprah donate $500,000 each to march against gun violence

Funny how Clooney has no trouble playing characters that use guns.

it's a march against gun violence. Is there something wrong with that?


Guns are apart of our society, it would be odd for him not to use guns in those roles. Actors have to believe everything they do or don't do in movies now?

I strongly support the 2nd amendment, anything wrong with that?

I have a right to bear arms, own several and always carry. It seems odd to me not to do that.

Actors shouldn't worry if people might be motivated to replicate the behavior they see on the silver screen?

Actors should completely free to abandon their principles when choosing roles?

nope, supporting the 2nd amendment is the opposite side of not wanting gun violence? This is news to me.

how is this their problem? Do people not have free will? I guess you are going to say we shouldn't have movies if people are going to replicate their behavior.

They are actors, they are acting, that's the point.

Yes, and some demented people re-enact what they see on the screen, unable to distinguish reality from fantasy. Some people want to ban guns because of the risk a crazy person could use one. How about banning violent movies and violent games because a crazy person might try to act out what they saw in one?

Haha we should all have guns but we can't watch violent movies

We should maybe have better parents and a bit more regulation.

Nobody said you have to have a gun - that's a bizarre statement/argument. Worse it suggests that I don't support the fact that there are certain people who should be prohibited from having guns.

Please explain to me what it is about violent movies that merits their production? What purpose do they serve? Your entertainment? Your personal satisfaction?

There is no "right to have violent movies", there is a "right to bear arms".

We should maybe have better parents and a bit more regulation.

Has it occurred to you that the guy who did the shooting already broke the law. You think that when a law is broken, it's broken and we need a new one. How about enforcing the laws we already have?

In this case the kid who did the deed has confessed. In the good old days, he'd have already been hung in a public square as the sun came up. That would send a clear message to the next prick who tries it, that you too are going to die, and it will be a swift and certain punishment.

But you want to punish my right to have a gun, to solve a problem that has nothing to do with me or any other law abiding citizen.

Tell me, last year, how many innocent people were killed by people with carry concealed permits who possessed that gun lawfully? And please, do not include suicides.

You realize every other country in the world has violent movies? You realize we have movie ratings? Why do these other kids in Japan not shoot up their schools? They have way more video games and way more violence in their movies (look it up).

Are you also aware studies have shown there is zero correlation between violence in movies and video games and children playing it out in real life?

What the *** are you even rambling about? I don't want to ban guns. I want it to be near impossible for mentally ill shit heads to get weapons legally and waltz into the nearest school. You a good person? Good you should be able to get weapons. Sorry it will be a bit harder but damn think about the greater good of society.
