BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Sylvester Stallone says that despite his “Rambo” image and new shoot-em-up film “Bullet to the Head,” he’s in favor of new national gun control legislation.
Stallone supported the 1994 “Brady bill” that included a now-expired ban on assault weapons, and hopes that ban can be reinstated.
“I know people get (upset) and go, ‘They’re going to take away the assault weapon.’ Who … needs an assault weapon? Like really, unless you’re carrying out an assault. … You can’t hunt with it. … Who’s going to attack your house, a (expletive) army?”

Well yeah Sly. They (expletive) might.
I second your opinion
MFO
Ummm...that's exactly why, Sly.
I wonder why ALL “public assistance programs” are Constitutional, and should be attacked by “dis-proportionate impact”, such as is used by Progressives every time un-qualified minorities MUST be a certain percentage of employees, etc.? You NEVER hear about Minorities’ handouts being slung onto Taxpayers’ backs, where ONLY minorities and certain “targeted classes” are given subsidized vote-buying gifts and no one challenges it?
I can hunt with an assault weapon on my property. The three S rule applies. Shoot ‘em. Shovel ‘em. Shut up.
Good point. A LOT of Stallone movies from the 80s and early 90s made the point that you need guns to defend yourself. WTF is he thinking with these comments? If he really means it, he should stop making movies with guns.
I met the guy who wrote the screenplay here in L.A. If any Freeper doesn’t get the vibe of the film and where it leans, one is brain-dead. That’s all I’m gonna say ;)
Demolition man is somewhat of a conservative cult classic due to the fact that it portrays the liberal fantasy utopian society as a failure.
Another low information voter.
steroids are a terrible thing, not that he was all that smart to begin with...
I had a girl friend in the 70’s that went crazy over this guy. Anything, and I do mean ANYTHING, with this bozo in it she had to see. So sometime back then, there's this ‘odd’ movie advertised with him in it. Well, it was soon obvious that old sly had made a porno, and this was it - even through 'A' list theaters were showing it as ‘unrated.’
Didn't matter what it was, she had to see it. It was suitably awful, until old sly walked out buck naked. I don't know how to describe this legally here, but let's just say he's a ‘little fellow.’ She of course immediately said, “let's go.” I of course said, “no, no, I've been captivated by the plot, and we have to stay.” And we did. And neither he nor the movie ‘rose’ to the occasion.
Sometimes life deals you lemons and you make lemonade out of it. Sometimes life deals you lemonade and you make Dom Perignon out of it.
Disarm your bodyguards 1st Sly..
Hypocrite.
I seem to recall a story that came out a decade or so ago, that he had an indoor shooting range at his house in Florida.
Anyone else remember that?
Stallone is a little runt...my wife and I walked by him on a Warner Brothers lot some years ago, and she had to look DOWN to make eye contact. Built like a concrete block, but just about the same size.
tooo funny...
Sly, go back to the Party at Kitty and Studs.
It could have been helpful here.
Yo, Sly! Too many hits to da head?
It’s a helluva movie, and very prescient. Just cast the utopian dude as Obama and it nails the world of today.
Barack Hussein Cocteau
You see, according to Cocteau’s plan, I’m the enemy, ‘cause I like to think; I like to read. I’m into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I’m the kind of guy who likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, “Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?” I WANT high cholesterol. I wanna eat bacon and butter and BUCKETS of cheese, okay? I want to smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green Jell-o all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to, okay, pal? I’ve SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It’s a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing “I’m an Oscar Meyer Wiener”.
