Sylvester Stallone Supports Assault Weapon Ban

(BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.) — Sylvester Stallone says that despite his “Rambo” image and new shoot-em-up film “Bullet to the Head,” he’s in favor of new national gun control legislation

Stallone supported the 1994 “Brady bill” that included a now-expired ban on assault weapons, and hopes that ban can be reinstated.

“I know people get [upset] and go, ‘They’re going to take away the assault weapon.’ Who … needs an assault weapon? Like really, unless you’re carrying out an assault. … You can’t hunt with it. … Who’s going to attack your house, a [expletive] army?”

The insanity is having an armed public that cannot resist tyranny..Stallone! The colonials had the same type of weapons the British Army had at the time to match their aggression - the same applies today...call them what you like - but an AR-15 is equal to an M-4 minus the 3 rd burst...it evens the playing field.

How about I just want one , have the cash to buy it, no criminal record and can pass the Governments background checks.

It’s not up to Stallone or any other Hollywoood prick who makes money shooting people on the screen to say what I can and cannot purchase.

"How about 0bummer's private army, stronger than the US military?"

I've got news for you......

The U.S. military IS Obama's "private army".

Well, there is yet another Hollywierdo that I will not support with my hard-earned money. You know, choosing which movies to watch is getting easier and easier.

It won’t be our own US military taking our guns. It will be foreign military. They are already here. Been here for years.

Stallone was always one of the “dimmest bulb” actors anyway. I doubt if he can tie his shoes.

umm, yeah, maybe obama's army. He's already purging the military of those generals who refuse to shoot at Americans.

He is a little man, seriously. His handprint is at any Planet Hollywood, place you’re hand over it, it is a child-sizes hand. He is only 5’ 10”. All the Movie shots of him are from waist level making him look big. Now it turns out he is personally also just an illusion. Rambo isn’t so real is he?

Sly was always a second rate actor with a third rate intellect.Ignore him long enough and he’ll go away.Or die of old age.

I wouldn’t be too worried about the political leanings of the generals.It’s the man with his finger on the trigger that will have to decide to become a murderer or not.The line infantry guys that I know would shoot their officer if he ordered them to fire into a crowd of Americans.

Is this humor? A guy makes multimillions on violence and guns and then does this? Hopefully there’s a hot spot waiting for many of these people because there is no justice here.

Hey Rocky, hit the showers. You’re all washed up. Doofus. His whole career has been made holding an assault rifle. That would be like Dean Martin saying that he was for Prohibition.

His brother, who shows on the Worlds Dumbest with Harding, Bonaduce, and others probably has more sense. Hell - the rest of the crew probably has more sense.

Who asked him for his opinion? I would imagine his mansion is well guarded at all times, so is mine. I am the first responder around here.

This is the same jackass who hid in Switzerland to avoid the Vietnam War . . . then, the sissy comes back to America and makes all these tough guy films (in some of which he had his hair up in ribbons) to hide behind the sound stage.

He's a worthless, cowardly example of Hollyweird. Never had any use for him.

Lucky for us we don't need his approval to exercise our 2nd amendment rights. Discount what comes out of Hollywood....their only agenda is making it easy to get their films to theaters and they will say anything to appease their masters!!!

Sly Stallone has the I.Q. of my toilet seat. Shut up, sly. I bet he didn’t add an opinion about Hollywood movies and the use of guns, did he?
