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.

I believe the article on this thread is a parody.

The one from Huffington Post is real. Jim Carrey is the author.

I can’t post a HuffPo article as it is not welcome at FR.

Stop quoting me Jim. :-)

What the hell!? Don’t they teach English in Canada? Is Carrey Quebecois?

Reads like it’s an automated voice-to-text transcription, full of bizarre errors only a machine would generate.

Then again, so is the reasoning. OK to have an armed bodyguard hired to put 10 rounds in assailants, but 11 is full-stop prohibited? WTF? Some kind of “you survived being shot ten times, so you win go ahead and kill me?”

Is this for real?
My daughter could write better in third grade.

Nah, it’s not real. It’s clearly too sophisticated and intelligently written to be by Jim Carrey. /sarc

This rant of his shows just how mentally ill he really is. This is the rambling of a fool and it is obvious from what little I can make out of his rant that he really does think he is above average in intelligence.

His comments are like something spewed out by a drug addled mind. I believe this is a perfect example of his train of thought. He’s insane.

“i will gladly go back and seek advice from Canada”

Canada gave up their long gun registry because it was stupid, pointless and a huge waste of money.

Could someone please translate? Is this language Canadian?


Oh Good! I was afraid it was only me that had a hard time translating.

Either it’s a language problem or he was on some “real good shit”. Of course as an actor I sure he’s more used to speaking others’ words than his own. But I won’t give him a break either.

I think that Obama should nominate Jim Carey and Caroline Kennedy to be “co-Ambassadors” to Japan.

That way, Jim will be available to make funny faces while Caroline repeatedly says “..ya know”. Maybe then the Japanese will get the joke Obama is playing on them.

Or the version linked on this thread is a leaked version of the one submitted to HuffPuff for their Hollywood style makeover - to the presentable version posted on their website.

Just keep in mind that Hollywood stars are accustomed to hiding behind curtains so that they could be projected Wizard of Oz style into something so much more than they really are - while the leftwing media has seen it as their duty to present their fully scripted Potemkin Village view of reality.

I checked the website linked by this thread and found only the usual “celebrity” dribble and no other parodies.

It’s really hard to follow. English as a second language?

See what happens to these mental midgets when they don't have a written script to read from.

Dude, how many times do you have to keep posting the link to Huffington? Regardless of the writings Jim is a dick and an anti-gun pig.

It appears you are trying to cover for this pig.

The guy writes like a 3rd grader or something. What an uneducated buffoon. How embarrassing for him.

Carrey was diagnosed as depressed and on Prozac years ago, probably still is.

God alone knows what’s left of his mind after ingesting psych drugs.

It’s because people never seem to read the thread and keep assuming that this is what Carrey really wrote. If they want to critique him the least they could so is READ HIS REAL OP-ED, not this parody.

Didn’t you post the initial writings in the first place? Shouldn’t you have posted what Huffinton wrote for him and not the incoherent rantings if that is what you wanted people to read?

Instead you link to the libtard Huffington 20 or more times.

Defending a libtard anti-gunner will win you no points on here.
