Kirk Douglas Wants Gun Control
Newsbusters.org ^ | 6-6-2013 | Lauren Enk

Yet another famous Hollywood face is pushing for gun control. “I cannot understand the people who are against some form of gun control,” insisted legendary actor Kirk Douglas on the Huffington Post yesterday.

“America’s cowboy days are over,” wrote the 96-year-old Douglas. Mentioning that “some crazy fan” had given him an engraved gun, Douglas, who often played cowboys, announced unhappily that America has “become a cowboy country with too many guns.”

“That frightens me,” Douglas declared.

Douglas concluded by suggesting that anti-gun-control advocates are only “interested in making more money for the gun manufacturers” – or worse, “just want to oppose the president in anything he endorses.”

He then called on voters to make “it more difficult to get a gun.” Bringing up his grandchildren, he said he “would hate to leave them a world where guns are easily accessible.”

The irony, of course, is that Douglas is just following the trend of liberal Hollywood celebrities campaigning against the 2nd amendment right to bear arms, while Hollywood movies continue to glorify violence. Maybe America’s cowboy days are over; but the days of Hollywood hypocrisy sure aren’t.

You know, George Washington only allowed the 2nd amendment because he wanted more profits for Washington Musket and Slingshot Manufactory..../s

Michael hasn’t been a good boy, He has been with women who have venereal diseases, These diseases led to his Throat cancer. Evidently and from his own mouth (no pun intended) he admitted to having a fetish about performing oral sex on women.

An act that is very common, between male and female, but you should know where the subject of the act has been before the performance.

I am sure his wife is a tad embarrassed about his admissions and probably should think about getting herself checked out.

All things that are good to eat , are not good for you.

It is amazing to see adults say such childish things, and other adults in the old media quote them approvingly, as if they are wisdom incarnate.

Hey Kirk, why not move to North Korea...the people in power pretty much agree with you there.

Seems to me that Kirk had some connection to the Un-American Activities Committee back in the McCarthy days.

I get all my political opinions from geriatric actors and little children. They’re the wisest people in the room.

Kirk Douglas is one of my all-time favorite movie stars, but why should I care what he thinks about...anything? These Hollywood types crack me up.

“I cannot understand the people who are against some form of gun control”

Just because Douglas is not bright enough to understand it doesn’t mean that we should all be vulnerable to criminals and an untrustworthy government

He was Spartacus, so you should listen to his political views...understand now?

He should talk to his son about oral sex control and leave the rest of us alone

96 years old? Who asked you. You won’t be affected one way or the other.

His son is dying of cancer purported to be from HPV from oral sex.

He could’ve gotten it from a man while engaging in role study for Liberace.
