Gunmaker PARA USA says it regrets providing firearms for the movie “Taken 3” and has called for an industry boycott against actor Liam Neeson after he slammed private gun ownership in America.

In a statement posted on its Facebook page Saturday, PARA said it “regrets its decision to provide firearms for use in the film ‘Taken 3.’”

....

“We will no longer provide firearms for use in films starring Liam Neeson and ask that our friends and partners in Hollywood refrain from associating our brand and products with his projects,” the company said. “Further, we encourage our partners and friends in the firearms industry to do the same.”

This does put me in the mood for a sweet Para-Ordnance .45 ACP.

I will NEVER see another Leeson movie again ever.

I have a long memory when it comes to things like this.

He’s probably working the gun hating liberal angle real hard so he can get a girlfriend/hookup. He wasn’t ever this douchebaggy while his wife was alive IIRC.

Aug 30, 2009 - Irish actor Liam Neeson has become a U.S. citizen, inspired by the outpouring of good will
he received in America after the death of his wife.

Looks like he is now. I guess he didn't learn about our Constitution!

Para has a particular set of skills which will no longer be available to such ilk.

I used to like the Liam Neeson movies. They are off our watch list now.

If his native countryman would have had the right to own guns, their history might be quite different.

That is the same policy happening in my home.
We used to like the occasional Liam Neeson movie. No more.

Glad that I luckily saw Schindler's List many years ago.
If that movie came out in 2015 it would need to be skipped.
