To be honest, in James Bond novels, James rarely shot someone. However, I do agree about how hypocritical these left wing actors and actresses are in making violent movies and speaking out against guns etc.
Maybe VPOTUS Cheney should be the next Bond.

"To be honest, in James Bond novels, James rarely shot someone."

Violence is so poorly understood in movies and tv shows. What fantasy is shown is grossly glamorized/stylized that it's perversion is closer to how pornography offends the reality of sexual intercourse.

Watching +99% of what passes for media "entertainment", one would conclude that anyone could and would settle all of their anxious matters of friction with a quick double tap to center mass and one in the head. What a crock. How many real encounters of espionage far more dangerous than a fictional novel have spies promiscuously spraying hot lead into all of their exact-opposite-in-every-way adversaries?

Perhaps this is why today's terrorists, so heavily doped up on glamorized violence for a quick solution propaganda, are quickly dropping like flies when confronted with a well-ordered and highly trained police-like fighting force so very concerned with discerning right from wrong and good guys from bullet-sponge-worthy targets.

How about Antonio Banderas? I think he could take the Bond flix to a new level.
