Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow and Beyoncé Knowles are among celebrities campaigning for gun regulation in the wake of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary.
The stars feature in a new public service announcement against gun violence for Demand a Plan after 20-year-old Adam Lanza shot and killed 20 children and six adults before turning the gun on himself at the Connecticut school last Friday. The one-and-a-half minute clip features the celebrity activists asking: 'How many more colleges? How many more classrooms? How many more movie theatres? How many more houses of faith?' before lawmakers tighten regulations.
A cast of artists and entertainers, including Michelle Williams, Reese Witherspoon, Kate Hudson, Cameron Diaz, Ellen DeGeneres, Julianne Moore, Chris Rock, Jamie Foxx, Olivia Munn, Selena Gomez, Paul Rudd, Jon Hamm, Jennifer Westfeldt, Will Ferrell, Sarah Silverman, Amy Poehler, Adam Scott, Rashida Jones, John Slattery, Jeremy Renner, Conan O’Brien, and others, have feature in the PSA released Friday on DemandaPlan.org.
The effort, a campaign from Mayors Against Illegal Guns, comes a week after the horrific massacre in Newtown and amid polarising debate rippling through the U.S. about gun violence and the Second Amendment.

“Do they have a history of criticizing murders in America’s inner cities?”
Of course not. This is Hollywood, they’re attention whores by profession and this is free publicity. They’re going after the “low information” types who think that these people matter.
Typical Hollyweird Bolsheviks, 10 degrees to the left in good times, 15 degrees to the right when it affects them personally.
Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow and Beyoncé Knowles all have the blood of the Sandy Hook massacre victims on them, along with all those who seek to criminalize self defense.
How different would the outcome have been if some of the staff had the means to protect themselves! How many lives would have been saved!
Shame on Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow and Beyoncé Knowles for wanting to deny crime victims the right to defend themselves!
Are their security people armed?
Yes, I thought so.
Who really cars what these twits think. Oh, they don’t think.
“2) They can all go into the inner city (you know, the places with the most gun violence) and get every one of them to surrender their guns.”
If they truly cared, the Hollywood elitists would sell their Beverly Hills, Bel Air, and Malibu homes and immediately move into a fixer upper in South Central LA so they can demonstrate to urban dwellers how unnecessary guns are.
Beyoncé? Is that the one with the fat legs?
And not two brain cells to rub together to produce a spark of cognitive thought. Truly the end of civilization.
Think about it. What is the real difference between these people and zombies?

Obama: Time to address American culture ‘that too often glorifies guns and violence’
Yes, let’s center our Constitutional rights around these three paragons of intelligence and liberty.
And if they all got aboard a small plane piloted by a drunken Kennedy into the Bermuda Triangle, the birds would sing, the air would be sweet, and my breakfast coffee would taste like ambrosia.
From link... Obama also promised to address the culture in America, “that too often glorifies guns and violence,” as well as school safety and mental health care
Violent, nasty Hollyweirders/”entertainers” advocating against a Constiutional right
Oh the irony.
Seriously???!!!!
What’s wrong with you.............picking on goldfish.
I didn’t hear what their plan is?
Imagine what that will lead to ...
Yep, and have the union thugs protest in China for better wages and benefits...that's where the(ir) jobs are.
Bottom-line...they'd never do it.
huck follywood
You or I may not but a lot of other people do.
You see, they don't have to convince white male Freepers to give up our guns. They just need to convince everyone else that we need to give up our guns.
Mock these PSAs if you want. Sad truth is, outside of the shrinking white male demographic, there's no great love in America for assault weapons and high-cap magazines and a great deal of support for banning them. Aniston, Paltrow and Beyonce aren't speaking to us. They're speaking to our wives, mothers, sisters, girlfriends, neighbors, etc. and if you think this stuff doesn't work, think again.
It becomes groupthink, and many in our country, not schooled in the rights and freedoms that made America special, fall right under its spell.
