But the use of guns were OK in his Rambo movies just so as long as the pay was good.
Effin hipocrite!
Actually, most of the Hollywood, Wall Street, and Beltway elite have private (or sometimes taxpayer-funded) security, along with any kind of weapons they want for their own personal enjoyment. It's another way for them to lord it over us. Also, if you live in any of those enclaves, you are automatically blackballed if you don't sign on.
The biggest thing they despise, but few will admit to, is some slightly-overweight, slightly-diabetic, and muchly-nearsighted nobody like me has over 40 years of experience with the AR15 platform, and can play it like an Amati (I know I will never be Strad-worthy) out to the round's effective ballistic limit. I have also retained much of what I've learned in "fieldcraft" from my Army and hunting days, and try to hone my more esoteric skills when a good class comes along.
I am also humble enough to admit that I can do better with a handgun than I can throwing rocks. Have their elite demonstrated their prowess to the extent that the elite LEO in the Herkimer PD showed the world with his elite "backwards Eotech"?
If Sam Colt wasn't credited for the term "the great equalizer", someone else would have been tagged. It all boils down to the rare situation in real life so aptly said by Clint Eastwood (whose name seems to be missing from this list), "Do ya feel lucky, punk? Well, do ya!" My best odds are always to trust my weapon and my proven skills over blind luck. YMMV.
I guess I will quit eating Earthgrains bread,
Wonder if SILVER DOLLAR CITY still has their gunmaker on site, or their shootout between the sheriffs and bandits, or their train robbery skit.
Otherwise I could care less when some organization with two members issues an anti-gun statement.
Britney Spears!? Comeon! Who looks to any of these fakes for instructions on how to live your own life, when they make their money pretending to be someone else, mouthing words written by someone else!
