Kirk Douglas: America is a 'Cowboy Country with too Many Guns'
Breitbart's Big Hollywood ^ | June 5, 2013 | Staff

Posted on 06/06/2013 6:56:49 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Kirk Douglas looks around America these days and he sees too many guns.

The 96-year-old actor, best known for performances in classic films like Spartacus, Paths of Glory and Lust for Life, took to the cyber pages of The Huffington Post to call for more gun control--and far less guns.

I often played the good cowboy on screen, riding in to save the day. Now, everybody thinks he is a cowboy too. That frightens me. We have become a cowboy country with too many guns....

I cannot understand the people who are against some form of gun control. They should be the first to welcome a message on making it more difficult to get a gun. Many of them seem to propose more guns being available to everybody. Why? Are they interested in making more money for the gun manufacturers? Are they politicians who just want to oppose the president in anything he endorses? It's incomprehensible to me.

No doubt this old coot lives in a gated mansion with plenty of protection. He just doesn’t want it for the peons. Too bad they made him rich by going to his films.

We have a government that:

Has drones in the sky
Has cameras on every street corner
Has access to every phone call, email, video, chat and anything else that goes on over the internet

The only thing standing between us and a full-on police state is the secret police and reporting on your neighbor’s anti-government non-conformity.

And Michael Douglas thinks we have too MANY guns?

Kirk Douglas is a worn out old bastard with too few brains.

Hey Kirk, I think you need to have a talk with your son, the one that likes oral, I think he has bigger issues than you worrying about us and our guns

These hollywood nuts should take care of their own screwed up kids and grandkids before opening their ignorant mouths.

I don’t think Kirk Douglas does much looking around and thinking, though he’s probably still hung up about Michael getting cancer from Oral Sex (I’ll assume cunninglingus).

I should have noted my comment was addressed to Mr. Douglas. You should stick around.

I cannot understand the people who are against some form of gun control.

I guess Kirk is too senile and herpes-addled to know that we have more than 20,000 local, state and federal gun laws in this country.

I think Mr Douglas needs to ask himself why he was happy to handle guns in his pathetic movies to make money. As long as it filled his wallet and that of his creepy sons it was okay.

He has lived a comfy life surrounded by security, now that he has come close to the end he wants our rights taken away. I hope the Lord has mercy on him, he will need it.
