October 26, 2005 -- PISTOL-packing Joe Mantegna is blasting a chink in the politically correct armor of some Hollywood heavyweights — he says they love to own and shoot guns. The "Joan of Arcadia" star says that such left-leaning showbiz types as Steven Spielberg, Leonardo DiCaprio and playwright David Mamet are all avid shooters. "Lots of guys in Hollywood love to shoot," Mantegna, a longtime gun sportsman, tells Fade In magazine. "But they ain't gonna talk to you."

They forgot Rosie "Raging Bull" O'Donnel.

Guns for me and not for thee.

[Personal Responsibility]

Hypocrisy, thy name is Hollywood Liberal.

[Puppage]

Let's see...Sean Penn beats up a photographer & is arrested for battery. Shoots at helicopters with a rifle at his wedding to Madonna. YET, he gets a CCW. And, leaves 2 weapons in his car that gets stolen at lunch.

Now, you & I would be able to get a CCW after all that, right?/sarc

[paudio]

But... but... we are celebrities... there are many wackos out there, such as papparazzi or our crazy fans... Common people like you, however, are not exposed to this kind of danger... so we don't see why you have to have guns... unless you are right-wing wackos... /s

Isn't hypocrisy synonymous with being a liberal?

[Peach]

I thought you'd love this story.

Just like capitalism and the accumulation of wealth, guns are for the the elites and not the rabbled masses.

Disgusting.

[OXENinFLA]

Thanks Peach.

Elites in socialist societies always have special privileges.

[Mo1]

So in other words ... They are Hypocrites

No surprise there

[pissant]

Yep. They are enlightened enough to know what's best for us little people.

[DustyMoment]

Isn't it interesting that when the Hollyweirdos are preparing for a new movie, they come to us "little people" for training so they can bring "realism" to the role; and, yet, they are so knowledgable about everything else, they know what's best for us "little people"?

[Dan from Michigan]

Even gung-ho action director Richard Donner ("Lethal Weapon"), who has a concealed weapon permit, was reluctant to talk.

F'ing hypocrite. Ever see Lethal Weapon IV and the NRA bashing.

[NJ Freeper]

Ping. The hypocracy is unbelievable.

[MikeD]

FWIW, Mamet has been a member of the NRA for a while, and joked that he was the only person in both the NRA and the ACLU simultaneously. The rest are hiding...
