London, July 02(ANI): Johnny Depp is keen on teaching his children to handle guns.
The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star, who learnt shooting at the age of six in Kentucky where he grew up, wants to pass on his experience to his kids.
"We would just go out and line up a bunch of cans and shoot with rifles, handguns and at times, submachine guns," the Daily Star quoted him as saying...

I would find it kinda hilarious if Depp became a spokesman for the NRA. I know, quite impossible, but still.
It will be if he tries to do it in england.
With the way our country is going, I think this is a very good idea.
Didn’t he move permanently to France? Or am I thinking of someone else.
He lives in France,they do not have any guns,lots of white flags but no guns..
He is selling his new movie......
Imagine a headline [famous person] wants to teach his kid how to handle socket wrenches.
Just as silly.
Exactly.
anybody know where depp stands politically? the only thing i ever heard was the france thing...but he said it had nothing to do with politics
he is from the south
“and at times, submachine guns”
I tend to doubt that.....
Depp is still a Nancy boy, JMHO.
yah, doesn’t he split his time between England and France?
Well being from the south I would certainly hope so.
parsy, who is well-armed and has plenty of ammo
If Depp hung out with Hunter Thompson that explains how he played his character in Pirates of the Carribean so well.
Maybe Depp is a “Blue Dog” Democrat.
Definitely scandalous. Watch out, next he may decide to teach them to think for themselves. Oh the horror...
Between Thompson and Keith Richards, Depp had all inspiration he needed for that roll.
From what I understand, Depp and Thompson were quite close. I know Depp was at his funeral and I believe he had some kind of role in it as well. I enjoyed reading Thompson's books but only in the car crash sense - they really weren't that enjoyable, but for some reason I couldn't look away.
Wait ‘til his kids see him as Dillinger...they’ll really want to learn shootin’! Just saw “Public Enemies” and Depp was great.
France has a fairly large gun-owning segment of their population.
I saw “Public Enemies” on July 1. Even though I am not a Depp fan, I really enjoyed the movie and his performance. Also liked Christian Bale in his role and especially liked the actress who played Billie (Evelyn) Frechette.
Highly recommend this movie to those who are on the fence about seeing it.
