Julianne Moore launches Hollywood gun safety campaign (stars to use their creativity & visibility)
BBC ^ | 10/14/15

Posted on 10/14/2015 4:07:10 PM PDT by Libloather

**SNIP**

"I was like, 'I've had it,'" she said. "I said to my husband, 'I've got to do something. This is the one thing that I need to say something about. This is my responsibility as a parent.'"

The actress said she went through her address book alphabetically to ask who wanted to be involved.

The 80 Hollywood stars have signed a pledge that reads: "By signing our names to this statement, we commit to use our creativity and visibility in the months ahead to help drive real change.

"While these are just the first steps, we pledge to use our voices wherever and whenever we can, doing our part to help mobilise more Americans to help save lives from gun violence."

Members of the council will invite their fans to get involved and participating in Everytown events, including brainstorming new approaches to grow the gun violence prevention movement.

OK, so the first thing to do is eliminate the use of guns in their movies.

It worked so well for cigarettes, didn’t it?

Most “stars” I know about are dumber than soap. That’s why they spend their lives playing like they are someone else.

Why can’t these people just enjoy the high life and their millions? If I was a Hollywood celebrity, the last thing I’d get involved is leftist politics.

If they want to teach gun safety, pursuant to the headline, that is fine. People should be trained and know how to be safe in protecting themselves from a scumbag.

And if they want to go help take the guns away from the criminals who have guns, that is also fine. Julianne Moore, meet the Crips, the Bloods, and MS13. Take care of it, sweetie.

She knows all about guns and gun safety because she played an FBI agent in a movie.

Of course, given that, she must also know all about being a cocaine addled and addicted porn star.

"I said to my husband, 'I've got to do something.'"

No, no you don't have to do anything, but pretend to be someone else. The Founders have said everything that needs to be said about this issue.

“I said to my husband, ‘I’ve got to do something.

IOW, “I need work. I haven’t worked in months.”

Probably trying to land parts. I would imagine they have to do crap like this.

Whores.

Hmmm, I’m a parent as well Julianne and I took a decidedly different path than you.

Instead of trying to make more people victims like you are, I taught our son responsible and safe handling and use of firearms.

I’ll make sure to look for the list of libtard celebrities like yourself who make a living glamorizing violence and the use of guns in film so that I can avoid funding your lifestyle of hypocrisy.

And that right there is what is so ridiculous about Hollywood types. They don’t want to take guns away from gang-bangers, nor even acknowledge that criminals and gang-bangers are responsible for 90-95% of gun related homicides. Rather, they want to take them away from law-abiding citizens.

Gun safety is a good thing. Gun education is a good thing. People who use guns are usually the safest.
