Megan Boone hopes to blacklist assault rifles from her NBC show..
As the debate over gun control rages on in the United States — particularly following the recent mass shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., which claimed the lives of 17 students and faculty members — the star of The Blacklist, who was raised in Florida, tweeted this to her followers on Friday:
Megan Boone ✔ @MeganBoone Liz Keen will never carry an assault rifle again and I am deeply sorry for participating in glorifying them in the past. Yours, girl from Florida 11:46 AM - Feb 23, 2018
Blacklist fans had mixed responses to Boone’s tweet, with many arguing that she should be able to separate a work of fiction from what’s happening in the real world. And while Boone wasn’t able to address everyone’s response, she did reply to one fan asking why an FBI agent wouldn’t carry an assault rifle, explaining, “I am not SWAT.”
Many others, however, responded positively to Boone’s stand, some sharing responses from their own high school-aged children:
Megan Boone ✔ @MeganBoone Liz Keen will never carry an assault rifle again and I am deeply sorry for participating in glorifying them in the past. Yours, girl from Florida
Finding Joy 😈#BOB4Life🔥 @StayingStellar1 My 13 year old's response:
Is that because of the shootings?
Me: Yes.
13 yr old son: Oh wow, that is really respectful!
Thank You so much Megan Boone! 11:54 AM - Feb 23, 2018
Liz Keen almost always favors a handgun, though on rare occasion she has wielded more firepower, such as an AK-47 in Season 2’s “The Kenyon Family.” James Spader’s Red, meanwhile, has never been averse to bringing out the big guns.
A spokesperson for the NBC series did not immediately to TVLine’s request for comment.
New episodes of The Blacklist return Wednesday, Feb. 28 at 8/7c
Why doesn’t Hollyweird just ban the use of firearms on both sized screens?
She’s a frigin’ “D” list actress and likely under contract. She’ll do whatever the director tells her to do and like it...
Oops. Accidental double tap.
Who?
Why do we care what she does?
Never heard of her? Is she some kind of kin to Daniel Boone?
Someone told me a couple of years ago that her father is a billionaire.
Megan Boone is another useful idiot.

Let’s say some people commit ‘good’ deeds and some people commit ‘evil’ deeds. Let’s say those who commit evil deeds use powerful weapons to commit crimes on those who are good or innocent. Question: how might the good or innocent people protect themselves from those who would commit evil against them?
Holly Wierd is, in practice, the NRA for the illegal gun owners in lobbying politicians and Society.
Do they need my shipping address?
>>Will the rest of Hollywood follow her lead?
Anyone in Hollywood who makes a movie with a gun that they think I shouldn’t have is a hypocrite. At least this one is putting her money where her mouth is.
Never heard of her, and I don’t care to in the future.
She will not carry a Hollywood prop. Well, Good! Hollywood should stop glorifying random violence.
I hate to break it to her... She’s been pretending to carry an “assault rifle”.
Close... from IMDB
Although Megan is originally from Petoskey, Michigan, her parents moved the family to The Villages, Florida, a retirement community. Megan's grandfather, billionaire H. Gary Morse, was the property developer and her parents wanted to be closer to him and Meagan's grandmother. At last check, Megan's mother was working as the property's Director of Sales.
He Passed away in 2014 and it seems she doesn't follow the family's (R) leanings...:^)
Morse, his children, and The Villages have donated tens of thousands of dollars to the campaigns of Florida Governor Rick Scott, and served as major fundraisers for George W. Bush and Mitt Romney. In addition, Morse donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Republican National Committee. Morse also used his 147-foot yacht, the Cracker Bay, for political gatherings. Upon receiving news of his death, Florida Governor Rick Scott and Florida United States Senator Marco Rubio issued separate statements on Morse's vision and ultimate realization of The Villages, Florida.
Democrats in The Villages have complained about what they see as their marginalization
Love the show. Love James Spader. Like the other actors except her.
She’s in a principal role and she sucks. Dead eyes. Like a doll’s eyes.
Who’s Megan Boone?
What’s “The Blacklist”?
I’m having a hard time keeping up with people and things that don’t matter.
