Celebrities, anti-gun nuts, and the CCW hypocrisy

[In_God_We_Trust]

Due to the Perata Car Jacking and his coveted California CCW, I think a new thread should be started calling out all of the celebrities who denounce the Second Amendment, but have a CCW!

Here is Sylvester Stallone's Application with links to a copy:

http://www.blog.riflegear.com/articles/the-hypocrisy-of-sylvester-stallone.aspx

Here is a picture of him at the Brady Center sponsored "Stand Up for a Safe America" event in Los Angeles.

Just review his application: I can say if anyone submitted an application like that in Massachusetts, with all of the blanks and poor handwriting and such, you would more than likely have been DENIED.

Nice to see that he has the following Weapons:

Walther PPK/S .380 ACP 030247
Browning HiPower 9mm 245Rn57243
Beretta Model 20 .25 BE35243V
Glock 21 .45 AMV705
​

Nice to see that the State of California provided his reasoning for the request of issuance for the CCW:

Apparently, when you are a beautiful person, you can get all the protection you need...

Again, lets start a list and CALL THEM OUT for the weasels that they are!

Here is Sean Penn's:

So, in the interview Mr. Penn admitted to:

1. Using Marijuana
2. Assault and Battery

Yet, he is allowed to continue! In Massachusetts, you would be done! Must be nice to be a beautiful person!

 

[peterpressure]

Wow, I feel much better now knowing I can assault folks and use drugs and still get a CCW.

Remind me not to see RAMBO 33 1/3rd

I already new not to see anythign Sean Penn does...

It's funny, I like none of those people. The geek side of me like Patrick Stewart okay but that's about it.

And Jane Fonda... yeah, like we didn't see that one coming.

 

[rewster]

Yup ! Commie Jane is anti gun unless it's a nice anti-(American)aircraft gun


regards....roger

 

[vicpinto]

And they can all kiss my furry Portuguese a$$.

 

[gene]

I wonder how many are rich and or have their own personal security that carry guns on their behalf because they cant take responsibility for them selves? Half of these losers are womanizers or abuse toward, drug addicts, drunks or have anger management issues.

Two faced hob gobblins!

 

[KimberCT]

It'd be much easier to list celebrities who are pro-gun. It would be safe to assume the rest are anti.

 

[nanerclip]

It's called elitism.

Us lowly peasants are in too low of a class to be able to own firearms and exercise constitutional rights.

 

[dwarven1]

You forgot Alan Alda - Actor - major league anti-gunner!

 

[boomerang]

You've destroyed my Uma Thurman fantasy, thank you very much.

Great post---why does the NRA ignore this when such information could be used as "anti-propaganda"?

Just wondering, where did you get the list?

I'm not going to search for the link, but I think this is from the NRA. It's called something like "enemies of the 2nd Amendment." Oh wait, I have it in my favorites:

http://www.nraila.org/Issues/FactSheets/Read.aspx?ID=15

 

[In_God_We_Trust]

Correct: However, they fail to remind people of this list!

Hopefully they are going to update the list and add The Governator of Kalifornia, since they have him on the list for Upholding the 2A

 

[the_doctor]

You forgot Alan Alda - Actor - major league anti-gunner!

Yet, he is also the one of the few that support women's rights without invalidating women being women. He purports that woman should be equal to men, but he does not run around on the militant crusade to make women superior as others do.

Think about that one!

IMO he's a hypocrite... he negates most of that by supporting
communist groups like Brady or VPC. Supporting groups whose
goal is the disarmament of women (remember, these are the
bozos who go around telling women that her gun will be more likely
to be used against her by an attacker) is pretty counterproductive
in terms of trying to supposedly fight for "equality" between the genders.

Who was the polititian, who was very anti gun, and used his unregistered pistol to shoot two kids who were in his yard to use his pool? I think it was in or just outside of D.C.

NY Times, 1988

"The syndicated columnist [and D.C. resident] Carl T. Rowan, who has written frequently of the need for stricter gun control, shot and slightly wounded a young man who took a predawn swim in the Rowan backyard pool early today.

"The police said a check of records indicated that Mr. Rowan's pistol was not registered and the case was being referred to a Federal prosecutor's office."

Here's another example of gun grabber hypocrisy...

Unfortunately, the left wing media would contort anything the NRA does into making them look like they're evil. The only people that can do anything about it might be Fox News. God bless 'em.

I think they should bring back the "I AM THE NRA" ad campaign. We need more than Ted Nugent, Charlton Heston, and Magnum PI pulling for us.

So, was this guy jailed or what?

 

[JimR]

And just how many of these jerks made lots of money in movies using guns. typical jerks who think they are cool.

+1 Given the Presidential Campaign is going to be on the front burner in the New Year, it would be nice to remind everyone who is running that we are watching and will not let anything go on our watch...

Shame about the McCain–Feingold "watering down" of the First Amendment ACT might preclude some of these adds though...

 

[NH40VE]

You've destroyed my Uma Thurman fantasy, thank you very much.

i'm just glad i didn't see Milla Jovovich or Michelle Rodriguez on the list...

bad enough Mira Sorvino is on there..

i must say that i was surprised to see some certain actors/actresses on the list considering some of the movies they have been in..(but i guess $$ helps them flip-flop)

* i thought mel gibson was a anti?,didn't see his name.... *

 

[jkelly]

So, was this guy jailed or what?---Coyote33

I don’t know if Mr. Rowan was jailed, but If I remember correctly the gun used in the shooting belonged to his son who was a federal agent (FBI?).


From Wikipedia:

Rowan was tried but the jury was deadlocked, the judge declared a mistrial and he was never retried. In his autobiography, Rowan said he still favors gun control, but admits being vulnerable to a charge of hypocrisy.

Respectfully,
