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.
Hollywood has created a gun culture glorified in the movies for years.
But all the libs from Hollywood are against guns.
Give me a break.
The literature suggests 80% of the over 80 group suffer some some degree of dementia....whooo ha..so take it easy on grampa unless he starts to spew anti gun spew...
Fool, old fool, etc...
Hoping to avoid an IRS audit by sucking up.
MEMO to KD:
America has had gun control since the passage of the gun control act of 1934. You should be aware of that as you were apparently an adult when this happened. There have also been follow on acts designed to remove our rights since then. Go back to playing your uke on the back of the submarine.
” What percentage of 96yr olds suffer some form of dementia?”
96%
Sinners in hell for eternity want ice cubs. So what!

Kirk, if you don't know that there are hundreds if not thousands of gun control laws on the books, then you should keep your mouth shut.
If we haven't fixed gun violence by now, more laws won't help.
Then when all hell breaks loose in this country he will not have a problem staying in LA where only criminals are allowed to carry firearms.
If he was alive at the time of the 300, he would be cruising for spear control.
I expect better of you, Mr. Douglas.
But Michael was also quoted as saying the best cure is more cunnilingus. (Not kidding.)
If that’s true, sign me up for the disease.
Mentioning that “some crazy fan” had given him an engraved gun,...
Why, that’s just CRAZY! Well, wasting money and a good gun on a lib certainly is.
Few in the entertainment industry aren't.
Pipe down you guys. Mr. Kirk Douglas is a respected actor. You should listen to what he says.
Now, if some schlemiel named Issur Danielovitch gave you advice on the street, him you could pop on the lip.
I saw that. A mans got to do what (of who) a mans got to do. I have always been a cunning linguist.
This is a man who literally came from rags to riches. Now he assumes the blessings of the Constitution and a country which allowed him to do it (instead of feeding him into the ovens) is simply a "cowboy country with too many guns" while spurning "some crazy fan" who gave him a very generous gift.
Liberalism truly is a mental disease.
