Megan Boone hopes to blacklist assault rifles from her NBC show..
As the debate over gun control rages on in the United States particularly following the recent mass shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., which claimed the lives of 17 students and faculty members the star of The Blacklist, who was raised in Florida, tweeted this to her followers on Friday:
Megan Boone ✔ @MeganBoone Liz Keen will never carry an assault rifle again and I am deeply sorry for participating in glorifying them in the past. Yours, girl from Florida 11:46 AM - Feb 23, 2018
Blacklist fans had mixed responses to Boones tweet, with many arguing that she should be able to separate a work of fiction from whats happening in the real world. And while Boone wasnt able to address everyones response, she did reply to one fan asking why an FBI agent wouldnt carry an assault rifle, explaining, I am not SWAT.
Many others, however, responded positively to Boones stand, some sharing responses from their own high school-aged children:
Megan Boone ✔ @MeganBoone Liz Keen will never carry an assault rifle again and I am deeply sorry for participating in glorifying them in the past. Yours, girl from Florida
Finding Joy 😈#BOB4Life🔥 @StayingStellar1 My 13 year old's response:
Is that because of the shootings?
Me: Yes.
13 yr old son: Oh wow, that is really respectful!
Thank You so much Megan Boone! 11:54 AM - Feb 23, 2018
Liz Keen almost always favors a handgun, though on rare occasion she has wielded more firepower, such as an AK-47 in Season 2s The Kenyon Family. James Spaders Red, meanwhile, has never been averse to bringing out the big guns.
A spokesperson for the NBC series did not immediately to TVLines request for comment.
New episodes of The Blacklist return Wednesday, Feb. 28 at 8/7c
OK.
STILL don’t know who she is
Or what “Blacklist” is, for that matter
Great first season, but fell off sharply after that. I lost interest a long time ago. Might have considered catching up, but not now.
But their anti-Second-Amendment effort has been defeated again. If we Americans continue to do our part, even against incrementalism, the foreign-minded fascists will eventually lose their will to fight.

Because her character is Just That Good.
(roll eyes)
She had to get REAL ACTING LESSONS when James Spader through fits about her near-complete lack of acting chops.
She redid her hair.
“Democrats in The Villages have complained about what they see as their marginalization”
...meaning they aren’t in power and are throwing a tantrum.
“Or what Blacklist is, for that matter”
Actually it’s a good TV show. James Spader plays a fugitive who manipulates the FIB’s playing his own version of 4-D chess.
The episode 1 opening hooked me right off.

Is that true?
I read here that she was at the first Womens March. I like the show, so I tried to avoid knowing more about that.
A bump keyboard?
I know very little about actors, but through an old contact, I happened to learn about her, mostly because she is such a BAD ACTRESS.
I was a little upset to learn that Spader practically demanded that he be in as few scenes with her as possible at least by the start of season 2.
Don’t watch the show anymore. Last one I saw was predictable, and I thought, “Nah.”
A bump keyboard?
You know something? I feel a Conservative boycott coming. Boycott Hollywood. All movies in theaters that feature violence.
She was always the worst part of the show. Maybe now they can get rid of her character. I know, she can refuse to pick up an ar and gets everyone killed as a result.
Okay...let’s go back to the PC TV show CHIP’s whose characters Never drew their firearms to apprehend fellons.
These c-suckers would not know an assault rifle if they had one shoved up their...
I wonder WTF they think of a 1903A3. M1 Garand or Carbine. Or a Mini 14.
What color dress will the lemmings wear to the Oscars this year? They’ve already used black.
“James Spader plays a fugitive...”
I get a kick out of him. Here’s this murderous thug. (Okay - a highclass thug!) Sitting in the waiting room to get the doctor to rig something or get shot instead.
Reading the children’s Highlight magazine.
“Oh look - there’s the violin. Just two more items to find!”
Not since the golden age of the Steven Seagal / Sylvester Stallone / Clint Eastwood / Charles Bronson vigilante flicks has a character gotten more sheer pleasure out of killing bad guys than Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone) gets in this week’s return of The Blacklist.
Interesting that she didn’t have a problem with doing scenes like that back then. Maybe she’s just virtue signaling now.
