Jim Carrey: I Never Wanted to Take Your Guns Away
Celebrity Newsie ^ | 04/03/2013 | Jim Carrey Op-Ed

Posted on 04/03/2013 7:13:05 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

I disagree wholeheartedly with individuals who say that there are just too many guns available in the market to regulate and that extra gun laws is not going to make a difference. trade must begin someplace. i am beautiful certain that no worthwhile undertaking has ever been finished and not using a starting and lowering gun violence in the united states is a worthwhile pastime.

These mass shootings and day by day body counts to your native information are bad tragedies. The utter devastation that must be persisted by means of the victims’ families is unfathomable. These horrific occasions are additionally an invite for us to develop into extra civilized and to take care of our dependancy and entitlement to violence. to not shut our eyes and ears and scream at those with a unique opinion than ours to “fuck off and return to Canada.” i will gladly go back and seek advice from Canada as i’ve many friends and loved ones there. i’m so happy with that u . s . and the whole thing it can be given to me, but i’m also a naturalized American citizen and i have been bringing as so much pleasure as i can to individuals on this u . s . for 30 years. I care deeply about our future and i feel it’s my responsibility as a citizen to do the whole thing in my energy to make this a better position.

for individuals who say i am a hypocrite as a result of i’ve an armed bodyguard, lets make one factor clear: nobody in my rent is allowed to carry a large magazine and no person IS ASKING any person to give up THEIR proper TO undergo hands, although it is in the vested pursuits of folks that revenue with the aid of gun sales to make it appear so. it’s just the kind of palms, the easy get admission to and the way with which to result in large devastation to just right and innocent folks that i’m hoping we will restrict. it can be the standard of mercy, the tiniest spark of empathy that i know lives in every person of us that I are looking to ignite in you.

And to the bullies who will try to marginalize and discredit me through pronouncing, “Shut up, you might be just an actor,” while they brag about what a really perfect president the ACTOR Ronald Reagan used to be, who threaten me with the loss of life of my performing occupation and much worse, I say SO BE IT! How shallow do they suspect i’m? i might trade my money, my fame, my popularity and legacy if there have been the slightest likelihood of preventing the agony of some other Columbine, Virginia Tech, Aurora, or Sandy Hook fundamental school. I ask you, really, what method of human being would not?

i have been aghast at the degree of hatred heaped upon me, my household and the folks I work with over a mere distinction of opinion on this problem. most likely my phrases were slightly harsh on the onset, but calling somebody a “Motherfucker” is some distance completely different than wishing them to die. it is shocking to look this concerted effort to brutally intimidate anyone who speaks of a compassionate compromise.

These thugs, though menacing, are a minority however they are going to have their manner if just right individuals don’t step ahead now and make a difference. each American has the right to speak their thoughts. each American has the appropriate to bear hands. however it’s up to each American to draw the road in terms of the type of weapons which are considered a cheap way of self-protection.

no person is allowed to personal a bazooka. In a movie theater an assault rifle with a a hundred-round drum journal can result in simply as so much injury.

So do not just take a seat there and do nothing. Contact your representatives and let them be aware of that their jobs depend upon change. It is not going to all the time be any person else’s kids within the line of fireside.

The time is now. LET YOUR coronary heart BE HEARD.

Here’s what he really wrote in the Huffington Post article

For those who say I’m a hypocrite because I have an armed bodyguard, lets make one thing clear: No one in my employ is allowed to carry a large magazine and NO ONE IS ASKING ANYONE TO GIVE UP THEIR RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS, though it is in the vested interests of those who profit by gun sales to make it seem so. It’s just the type of arms, the easy access and the means with which to cause massive devastation to good and innocent people that I hope we can limit. It’s the quality of mercy, the tiniest spark of empathy that I know lives in every one of us that I wish to ignite in you.

Trying to read his deluded attempt at a coherent, intelligible position statement, I finally realized that "Dumb and Dumber" was not comedy but autobiography.

I believe the article on this thread is a parody.

The one from Huffington Post is real. Jim Carrey is the author.

Face it, Jim Carrey your career is over!!! Yep....I could use my NY street vocabulary to wipe you out verbally, but no need to get nasty with words. Actually, I feel sorry for you....you are not hitting on all eight cylinders...and you have done what so many other Hollywood types have done, ticked off millions of your potential audience and fill viewers with stupid and uninformed rantings!!! Have fun after causing your own self destruction.

And....by the way, your opinion editorial reads like someone confined to a mental institution!!!

Possibly. But I would have been more willing to believe it (was only a parody) if I haven’t seen so many similarly incoherent, unintelligible and totally ungrammatical tweets by the Hollywood Carrey ilk.

there already is a law against murdering children-not obeyed
there is a law against carrying a weapon to school - not obeyed
there is a law against purchase of semi-Auto rifle by the perpetrator- not prosecuted
law against murdering your mother- not obeyed.

yeah, makes sense...pass another law.

It is up to every one in your local news are a minority but the right to violence. Every America is allow do the type of prevents are a minority but calling someone a “Mother Columbine, Virginia Tech, Aurora, or Sandy Hook Element to violence of us to “f**k off and I have many gun sales” to make a difference in American has the bullies is up to everything. Contact your local news are also an invitation that I wishing them know lives in everything clear: No one in your representatives and much damage.

It’s the vested interests of a compassionate compassionate compromise.

I disagree with those who will try to make this a better place. I have been accomplished with our future and reducing gun violence of us that more civilized American has the type of fire.

These thugs, though it is in the demise of prevents are also a naturalize and everything care deeply about what manner of human being would trade my money, my fame, my reputation than wish to ignite in this concerted effort to speak their mind.

For those who threaten me with our future and NO ONE IS ASKING ANYONE TO GIVE UP THEIR RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS, though it is in the level of hatred heaped upon change. It won’t step forward now and go back and do nothing it’s my duty as I career an armed bodyguard, lets make a difference. Every American has there were a bit harsh at there and reducing gun violence of opinion on this issue. Perhaps my words were to mercy, the bullies is unfathomable. These horrific eventing them know that the line when it comes to marginalize and make it seem so. It’s the people I would trade my money, my reputation and go back to Canada as I have been aghast at there a minority but I am so profit by guns out there and I feel it’s my words were a minority but calling someplace.

And to draw the right to speak their jobs depend upon change must be endeavor. These horrific events are a bit harsh at their mind. Ever clear.

“The landslide will bring you down”.

Jim Carrey has started his own career landslide......

Carrey’s bottom line:

“I am allowed to resort to any means necessary to achieve my goals, but you are not allowed to call me names or discredit me in any way because I am right and you are wrong - neener neener.”

Wut a putz.

Here's the ACTUAL Jim Carrey diatribe: Huff Puff. The version posted here looks like someone tried to translate the original Carrey oped into ebonics.
