In the wake of the shooting that killed 17 people at a high school in Parkland, Florida, stars far and wide are speaking out in the ongoing gun control debate. Now, The Big Bang Theory star Mayim Bialik has made an impassioned plea for civil disobedience.
The star took to Facebook with a video post calling out lawmakers who receive funding from the National Rifle Association and private citizens who own guns.
The images of those 17 faces will not leave my head, but I said that about the last shooting and the last faces and indeed, we forget, she said. Im angry, I feel numb, I feel disgusted, I feel horrified and sometimes I feel all of these things at once.
Unlike some of her celebrity counterparts, Bialik acknowledged the many other facets that often come up in the gun control debate, but noted that nothing can be done about them en masse.

Is this another rabbit / pancake thread?
“This could have real legs, I sense a cosmic shift coming on guns.”
By whom & against whom? Is this “we changed society’s views about smoking, we can do the same with guns”?
They tried that in the 1970’s and failed with “We just want the handguns, you can keep your rifles & shotguns”. Then Ronald Reagan was elected & the present age of gun rights began.
This latest atrocity is due to massive failures of law enforcement & mental health services and schoolchildren calling Trump nasty sames isn’t going to sway anyone. Sales of AR-15’s are going to spike this week, IMO.
I stopped watching TBBT because of their participation.
You win.
I remember when liberals blamed society for the acts of criminal.
Now that they have remade society, ridiculed religion and removed it from schools, done away with moral codes, decided anything goes and life has no value even when you are hanging halfway out of your mother’s birth canal, they blame guns for crimes.
Good point.... I wonder if the shooter was on ritalin when he was a student.?? Or perhaps still..!
And why should I care if she lives, dies or drools and shits herself for the rest of her life?
Celebrities think a hell of lot more of themselves than I do.
Rush brought this to light.....
Go compare the NRA contributions to the labor unions. BOOM !
She uses her "star power" coupled with her lack of intelligence when it comes to 2nd Amendment rights and historical precedent to hand that power to people who are all too willing to use it.
To paraphrase Bill Whittle: Countries that give their citizens the right to own guns occasionally have a single murdered body on the ground. Countries that disarm their citizenry will eventually have hundreds or thousands of murdered bodies in trenches dug by bulldozers.
What this dimwit useful idiot doesn't understand is that being a Jew, she is as likely to end up in that trench of murdered bodies as the most staunch conservative, even though she is ostensibly on the side of those who dug those trenches.
Actually there’s a very pernicious & dangerous form of civil disobedience that these moonbats might employ.
It’s called “swatting”. Now, some states have passed laws with harsh sentences for making false 911 calls, but not all have. And recall that 1-800-SNITCH hotlines were popular in the 1970’s but were abandoned when it was realized that snitch calls to “report illegal guns” were mostly made by disgruntled neighbors interested in settling scores or punishing their neighbor’s political views or even merely his possessing firearms that were not illegal to own.
Newspapers outing CCW holders is another tactic to reach out & hurt someone. But that can backfire when the editorial staff find their homes & addresses also listed on the internet.
How does Blossom’s star power influence votes in Congress?
A Hollyweirdo’s endorsement can be used by the opposition, too.
“My opponent who wants gun control has Blossom’s support; ain’t that sweet!?”
“You would think that a neuroscientist would understand that mental illness, not an inanimate object, was the cause of aberrant the behavior. “
Liberalism overides common sense.
She’s just reinforcing the need for the 2nd Amendment. Threatening your fellow citizens is no way to convince them to give up their means of self defense.
I call for civil disobedience to change gun laws too. Like getting rid of them.
Has anyone ask the question, where did the kid get the scratch to buy all those guns.??? AR15’s ain’t cheap...
So she is shooting off her mouth about the NRA! REMEMBER 1981 when Actress Lee Grant, on GOOD MORNING AMERICA, shot off her mouth about the NRA?
“THE NRA IS A RIFLE ORGANIZATION! THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR HANDGUNS, AND THEY CAN KEEP THEIR RIFLES!”-Lee Grant
Now they have come for the rifles.
Armor-Up the Damn Schools!
I saw a photo of the home he was raised in after his adoption, it’s a mansion.
Even though his adoptive parents are now both dead I doubt he was without funds, probably lots of funds.
I’m supportive of meeting liberals half way on this issue. We can cut gun ownership in America by half. All that is required is for liberals to give up their guns. I’m convinced that far more than half of the gun violence would be stopped by this measure as well.
As her fictional fiancé, Sheldon, would say, “Easy peasy.”
