Good for Bruce. It’s about time someone from Hollyweird stood up for the Second Amendment, and didn’t descend into the anti-gun hysteria.
Good man.
FINALLY! One guy in Hollywood with common sense who understands the bigger picture and has some common sense. Now if we could get a lot more to jump on board that are real men. Liam Neeson next maybe?
“...also dismisses any link between Hollywood shootouts and real-life gun violence.”
...Bravo! Jimmy Cagney had “shootouts” all the time in the 30’s and there weren’t any mass shootings in theatres that I know of. Prescription drugs and bad parenting are most of the problem.
Well, there goes Bruce’s career!
Holywood socialists don’t take too kindly to anyone with conservatives views.
Of course he does after Stallone’s movie flopped big-time last weekend after Stallone called for an assault weapons ban. Willis isn’t stupid with a new Die Hard movie coming out soon.
Thank goodness at least one “hollywood action hero” has some real cojones! I always liked Bruce Willis, now even more so.
He’s got the courage to not embrace the loony left (the money folks on the Left Coast) just to keep his fan base and future movie audiences.
Are any of those cowardly action heroes also against fast cars now because they might inspire us to drive faster? And couldn’t those fast cars be involved in accidents that kill people? No, they haven’t come out yet to do that. They’re just making sure to “cover their own sixes” so they are politically correct.
To quote the crazed Marine colonel (Jack Nicholson): “they can’t handle the truth!”
He must have a movie coming out
Can't agree with him about the 'movies not providing an influence', though. This form of mass-media drives much of our culture, good and bad. You would have to be deliberately blind not to see it.
Of course they do. Also books, music, all ideas that go into your head influence thought patterns and, thus, behavior.
But censorship is not the answer. Changing hearts is. If consumers want healthy media they will turn off the raunchy stuff. That's not happening...yet.
I will make it a point to see Bruce’s his next movie. Happily, Stallone opened his mouth before I wasted any money on his latest.
Now that’s something you don’t see every day. An actor who is actually smart enough to protect his career by not alienating his fans with liberal talking points. I predict that his newest Die Hard movie will be a smash hit because of his statement. Very clever marketing, dude.
Bruce knows how to get butts in the movie seats.
Money quote:
“I think that you can’t start to pick apart anything out of the Bill of Rights without thinking that it’s all going to become undone... If you take one out or change one law, then why wouldn’t they take all your rights away from you?”
Gets right to the point. Well said.
So there ARE some people in Hollywood who have common sense:
“I think that you can’t start to pick apart anything out of the Bill of Rights without thinking that it’s all going to become undone, if you take one out or change one law, then why wouldn’t they take all your rights away from you? It’s a difficult thing and I really feel bad for those families,” he said. “I’m a father and it’s just a tragedy. But I don’t know how you legislate insanity. I don’t know what you do about it. I don’t even know how you begin to stop that.”
Yep. Now will make a point to catch the new Die Hard.
