Celebrities Demand Gun Control on Twitter: ‘Stop Defending Your Right to Bear Arms. You’re Stupid’
The Blaze ^ | Dec. 14, 2012 | Jason Howerton

The Connecticut school shooting that left 27 people dead — including as many as 20 children — has prompted Hollywood celebrities to demand stricter gun control because they believe it will prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future.

“Too soon to speak out about a gun-crazy nation? No, too late,” far-left filmmaker Michael Moore tweeted. “At least THIRTY-ONE school shootings since Columbine.”

“The way to honor these dead children is to demand strict gun control, free mental health care, and an end to violence as public policy,” he added.

Screenwriter Kevin Williamson agreed. “We need gun control. Stop defending your right to bear arms. You’re stupid,” he tweeted.

Pop singer Michelle Branch tweeted: “Gun control people!!! My heart is breaking. As a parent this is my worst nightmare.”

“Parks and Recreation” star Rashida Jones said that “gun control is our only road to freedom” via her official Twitter account.

“Freedom from the fear of senselessly losing children. I’m so saddened. WE NEED LAWS NOW,” she added.

CNN host Piers Morgan wondered aloud on Twitter whether President Barack Obama would have the courage to “stand up to the American gun lobby.” He also tweeted the hashtag #guncontrol.

I wonder, if the principal’s office had access to shotguns or rifle and someone who knew how to use it, would that have helped? Either answer (yes or no) is useless inside the woodsy suburban CT “safe” mentality - like the Petit home invasion in Cheshire CT - not a judgment, a fact after many resident years observation. Felt like throwing up after hearing the story of an evil person shooting kindergarteners. I predict “gun control” platitudes will be the only thing that will come out of Connecticut political “leaders”. God save us all.

Calling 911 just did not cut it. What would have?

May God bless Newtown, all of Connecticut & surroundings with grace & peace — then useful wisdom ASAP.

Williams, go watch a movie called “300,” and check out the part where the Persian offers to let the Greeks live if they lay down their arms. Note the response: “Come and take them!” Same to you, and all of your anti-American scumbag friends - if you have the guts.

At this moment I have a police helicopter circling. Long Beach, CA. No light on. Infrared technology. They can see in you’re house. George Orweil is here you little frogs in the pot of water that is getting ever so warmer

With this push for more gun control, it is time to not only push back but push back hard. All of the hollywood idiots need to STFU. They are not paid to give us political opinion, they are paid to entertain us. If I start talking politics with my job in customer support, that would piss my customers off.

When you have a Godless immoral society of self-satisfying hedonists devoid of faith, self-respect and honor , freaks like Lanza will emerge.
And THAT is precisely the kind of society the moral eunuchs in the Movie industry have created with their films and lifestyles.

"Hollywood celebrities to demand stricter gun control"

Actually, we need to put and end to the immoral and irresponsible teachings of the Hollywood "elite" by surpressing their 1st Amendment rights. The movies, video games, and other "media" they produce are poisoning the minds of the US population.

Hollywood needs to stop defending their right to freedom of expression.

The left is going to use this to outlaw guns and they will win. The absolute horror of this crime will overwhelm any effort to defend gun ownership. The images of the families of those murdered kids will be shown relentlessly until Congress, especially the House, passes a bill outlawing anything but bolt action hunting rifles and three round shotguns. I can’t see any gun rights defender even thinking of appearing on TV at this time.

Your exactly right, this will be the biggest threat to the Second Amendment ever.

They will surely try as hard as they can.

And yet these same people celebrate the killing of 1,500,000 babies by dismemberment or salting or suffocation per year.

Don’t these guys have people who bear arms for them, I.e. “security”?

Are these “stars” going to give up their armed body guard protection? How about the President and Congress. How about Hillary?

They don’t need armed guards if all the guns are banned, right? They just need to be strong enough to fight off an attacker. They won’t mind doing that like they propose for the rest of us.

When Mayor bloomers disarms his guards and the police, I will believe he really is anti-gun. But he’s a self anointed prince. Guns to protect him...every else can die by the hands of the criminals they let out of prison.

Whatever they want on the people, has to apply to the government, too. They don’t need armed police and guards. They kill innocent people all the time. They don’t need the military being armed, either.

When the economic hammer falls down, at least there will be no demand for these “celebs” tv and movies and no one to watch them. I long for the day that today’s celebs become irrelevant.

Any of them accused Sarah Palin yet?

Yet not one word about the 52 million babies who have had a hole drilled in their skull, their brain sucked out and their bodies burned.

Miserable hypocrites.
