Vince Vaughn: Guns should be allowed in schools to prevent mass shootings

by Ethan Sacks

Vince Vaughn is providing some ammunition to the debate over guns in schools.

The "True Detective" star told the British GQ that he supports allowing guns in schools as deterrent against the mass shootings that have plagued the United States in recent years -- such as the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School that left 20 children and six staffers dead.

"Banning guns is like banning forks in an attempt to stop making people fat," he told GQ UK. "Taking away guns, taking away drugs, the booze, it won't rid the world of criminality."

Vaughn, 45, added that the mass shootings have generally "only happened in places that don't allow guns."

When people come under violent attack, they usually call out for two things; God and a gun.

I agree with you, Vince. Now, please make better movies than “Unfinished Business”. It sucked.

Yup, the War on Guns goes hand in hand with the War on Drugs, the emerging War on Fat, and the temporarily suspended War on Alcohol.
