Last week, actress and star of NBC’s The Black List Megan Boone tweeted that her character on the popular crime drama would “never carry an assault rifle again.” The tweet — which was in response to the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, that saw Nikolas Cruz kill 17 people with a legally purchased AR-15 rifle — posed a glaring question. Will other pro-gun control Hollywood actors and directors who’ve used firearms in films for years pledge to lay down their guns in future films?
It’s a question that could be asked of the likes of legendary director Steven Spielberg, whose has written, directed, or produced dozens of movies and TV series that have featured the use of guns.
George Clooney pledged to give $500,000 to a gun control march but his career is littered with film roles (at lease a dozen) in which his characters wielded a gun. Will he now pledged to leave guns out of his future projects?
The same question can be asked of actors Jim Carrey, Mark Ruffalo, and Matt Damon, who have all portrayed gun-wielding characters in popular movies but have also advocated for the enactment of more gun laws — reforms that will invariably make it harder for law-abiding citizens to purchase or sell firearms.

Why should they not. Life is not paradise. Never was and never will be until evil no longer exists.
She was carrying an “assault rifle?” Can she define what that is? Not likely. But it sounds good and keeps her on the right side of the lunatic left.
Why does anyone even Allow Hollywood and the Entertainment Industry to glorify Guns and Violence, as well as morally bankrupt and down right destructive behavior, then peddle it to our children in the first place??
Do As We Say Not Do As We Do.
And these hypocrites have 24/7 around the clock bodyguard protection.
Not to mention living in gated communities.
What THEY stand for is, “Strict GUN control for THEE, but of course NOT for ME!!”
THEIR profitable “gun useage” and their heavily armed body guards must not be tempered with.
The louder the anti-gun rhetoric the MORE heavily guarded the shouter. (See Streisand, O’Donnell, and the Hollywierd roster.)
I guess Ron Perlman will never narrate another Fallout game, huh?
Of course they will, but they will never see another dollar of mine to view them. If half the potential audience actually stuck to their guns and refused to pay to see their movies, we just might make an impact on them.
I guess “Hellboy II” is off the table.
When the studio furnishes heavy security to protect you and yours, it’s easy and cheap to fault others.
To coin a phrase, “A firearms conservative is a liberal actor/actress who’s been mugged.”
I think you mean Hellboy 3, which is being made without Ron Perlman.
Hellboy 2 was made in 2008.
Because it gains fortune and glory. And the celebrities are just like the politicians, they thrive on it.
rwood
Trump should sign an Executive Order banning use of real and fake firearms in a movie. lol
[I think you mean Hellboy 3, which is being made without Ron Perlman.
Hellboy 2 was made in 2008.]
His entire character on 7 years of Sons of Anarchy was based on illegal weapons sales to Mexican gangs.
Not too many nice people on that show.
You CAN’T win, President Trump and DemocRATS. If you dare to strike it down, the NRA shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine!

The funny part was an episode where they had native Americans making ammo for them and who comes walking out but Randolph Mantooth. Hadn’t seen him in 40 years.
Great idea!
And the scary part is I know who Randolph Mantooth is.
Back in 1968, the movie industry, in order to smoke off government controls, said they would “police themselves” with a joke of a ratings system. Throwing off the remnants of the Hayes Code, the proceeded to reshoot scenes and add more sex and violence to movies to get the coveted “R” rating.
TV cleaned up it’s act by dumbing down it’s adult shows which were still safe for kids, turning them into genuine kiddie shows. Now they are worse than the movies of the post 1968 era.
