Jim Carrey: I Never Wanted to Take Your Guns Away
Celebrity Newsie ^ | 04/03/2013 | Jim Carrey Op-Ed

Posted on 04/03/2013 7:13:05 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

I disagree wholeheartedly with individuals who say that there are just too many guns available in the market to regulate and that extra gun laws is not going to make a difference. trade must begin someplace. i am beautiful certain that no worthwhile undertaking has ever been finished and not using a starting and lowering gun violence in the united states is a worthwhile pastime.

These mass shootings and day by day body counts to your native information are bad tragedies. The utter devastation that must be persisted by means of the victims’ families is unfathomable. These horrific occasions are additionally an invite for us to develop into extra civilized and to take care of our dependancy and entitlement to violence. to not shut our eyes and ears and scream at those with a unique opinion than ours to “fuck off and return to Canada.” i will gladly go back and seek advice from Canada as i’ve many friends and loved ones there. i’m so happy with that u . s . and the whole thing it can be given to me, but i’m also a naturalized American citizen and i have been bringing as so much pleasure as i can to individuals on this u . s . for 30 years. I care deeply about our future and i feel it’s my responsibility as a citizen to do the whole thing in my energy to make this a better position.

for individuals who say i am a hypocrite as a result of i’ve an armed bodyguard, lets make one factor clear: nobody in my rent is allowed to carry a large magazine and no person IS ASKING any person to give up THEIR proper TO undergo hands, although it is in the vested pursuits of folks that revenue with the aid of gun sales to make it appear so. it’s just the kind of palms, the easy get admission to and the way with which to result in large devastation to just right and innocent folks that i’m hoping we will restrict. it can be the standard of mercy, the tiniest spark of empathy that i know lives in every person of us that I are looking to ignite in you.

And to the bullies who will try to marginalize and discredit me through pronouncing, “Shut up, you might be just an actor,” while they brag about what a really perfect president the ACTOR Ronald Reagan used to be, who threaten me with the loss of life of my performing occupation and much worse, I say SO BE IT! How shallow do they suspect i’m? i might trade my money, my fame, my popularity and legacy if there have been the slightest likelihood of preventing the agony of some other Columbine, Virginia Tech, Aurora, or Sandy Hook fundamental school. I ask you, really, what method of human being would not?

i have been aghast at the degree of hatred heaped upon me, my household and the folks I work with over a mere distinction of opinion on this problem. most likely my phrases were slightly harsh on the onset, but calling somebody a “Motherfucker” is some distance completely different than wishing them to die. it is shocking to look this concerted effort to brutally intimidate anyone who speaks of a compassionate compromise.

These thugs, though menacing, are a minority however they are going to have their manner if just right individuals don’t step ahead now and make a difference. each American has the right to speak their thoughts. each American has the appropriate to bear hands. however it’s up to each American to draw the road in terms of the type of weapons which are considered a cheap way of self-protection.

no person is allowed to personal a bazooka. In a movie theater an assault rifle with a a hundred-round drum journal can result in simply as so much injury.

So do not just take a seat there and do nothing. Contact your representatives and let them be aware of that their jobs depend upon change. It is not going to all the time be any person else’s kids within the line of fireside.

The time is now. LET YOUR coronary heart BE HEARD.

Bing from Carrey English-to French-to Spanish-to English:

I am totally disagree with those who say that there are simply too many weapons available in the market to regulate and that a difference will not make additional gun laws. trade must start somewhere. I am beautiful true that any company not worth of condemnation was never finished and not using from and the reduction of violence from guns of firearms in the United States, is an interesting pastime.

These mass shootings and the number of bodies day after day to his native information are bad tragedies. The absolute devastation that must be maintained by the families of the victims is unfathomable. On the other hand, these terrible events are an invitation so that we can be very civilized and take care of our dependence and the right to violence. do not close our eyes and our ears and he yelled at those who have a single opinion as our “fuck and return to Canada”, I will be happy to return and seek the advice of the Canada that I have a lot of friends and family, he. I am very pleased that u. s. and all that can be given to me, but I am also a naturalized U.S. citizen and put me as as much fun as possible to persons in the United States for 30 years. I care deeply about our future and believe that it is my responsibility as a citizen to do everything in my power to make it a better position.

for people who say that I am a hypocrite after an armed escort, allows to specify a factor: no one in my income can remove a shop by departments and nobody asks any person to renounce their own hands, although it is in the activities acquired the people than revenues by selling the weapon to do that seems so. This is exactly the type of Palm trees, easy to get admission and the way in which translates as the great devastation in people only good and innocent, I hope that it will restrict. It can be the standard of mercy, the slightest spark of empathy that I know lives in each of us that I have even trying to turn on him.

And for the tyrants who try to marginalise and discredit me grace by saying, “shut up, could be only an actor!”, while boast that a really perfect President actor Ronald Reagan used to be, that I threatened with the loss of the life of my performance on the job and something much worse, I say SO BE IT! Do surface how suspect that I am? I could change my money, my fame, my popularity and inheritance if there is danger to avoid the agony of another school of Columbine, Virginia Tech, Aurora, or Sandy Hook key. I ask you, really, what method of human beings would not?

I was horrified at the level of hatred towards me, my family and the people I work with during a simple distinction of opinion on this subject. my pains were probably a little hard in the beginning, but someone called a “son of a bitch” is a distance different from those wishing them to die. It is shocking to see this concerted effort brutally in intimidate someone who speaks of a compassionate commitment.

These bullies, threatens, are a minority, but have their way if only particular forward now and make a difference. every American has the right to speak his thoughts. every American has appropriate set of hands. However, he returned to all Americans that draw the route in relation to the type of weapons that are considered to be a self-protection cheap.

No one is allowed to staff to a bazooka. In a movie theater for a rifle round with a 100 - round drum record can cause accidents as such.

In order to not just sit there and do nothing. Please contact your representatives and are aware that his job depends on change. It will not always be children of anyone in the line of fire.

Now is the time. Your coronary heart heard


Thus proving:
Garbage In = Garbage Out

Somebody needs to deport him back to Canada- out of an airplane, at about 15000 feet with no parachute.

It’s just the type of arms, the easy access and the means with which to cause massive devastation to good and innocent people that I hope we can limit. It’s the quality of mercy, the tiniest spark of empathy that I know lives in every one of us that I wish to ignite in you.

So, did he write the article posted for this thread (at Celebrity Newsie), or the one you’ve reposted several times (huffpo)? What’s the deal?

If Carrey was honest, he'd admit he's a fascist except he wouldn't be able to spell the word.

Judging by his writing skills (or lack of same), I suspect Jim Carrey needed a tutor to pass recess.

Yes, it’s pretty much unintelligible. Either the man, or his transcriptionist, seem to be having serious cognitive difficulties.

the level of hatred heaped upon me, my family and the people I work

Have you or anyone read anything about his family? I didn't even know if he has a family.

What the hell is he trying to say? He sounds like a 6th grader trying to talk like an adult.

PLEASE stop showing people your thought process- it is not pretty. Just stick with what you are (somewhat) good at- repeating words that you are written for you by people obviously much smarter.

You're not paid to have original thoughts, Carrey, and these paragraphs clearly show why.
