Julianne Moore launches Hollywood gun safety campaign (stars to use their creativity & visibility)
BBC ^ | 10/14/15

Posted on 10/14/2015 4:07:10 PM PDT by Libloather

**SNIP**

"I was like, 'I've had it,'" she said. "I said to my husband, 'I've got to do something. This is the one thing that I need to say something about. This is my responsibility as a parent.'"

The actress said she went through her address book alphabetically to ask who wanted to be involved.

The 80 Hollywood stars have signed a pledge that reads: "By signing our names to this statement, we commit to use our creativity and visibility in the months ahead to help drive real change.

"While these are just the first steps, we pledge to use our voices wherever and whenever we can, doing our part to help mobilise more Americans to help save lives from gun violence."

Members of the council will invite their fans to get involved and participating in Everytown events, including brainstorming new approaches to grow the gun violence prevention movement.

They can start by making movies without guns or other weapons.

I’m glad she and her friends have pledged to sign up for firearms safety courses, and I’m glad she is encouraging others to do the same...

Wait... ...what?

Really?

No sh!t?

I would NEVER have guessed THAT from the headline...

Skank should go back to portraying a porno star, she was convincing at it.....

Liberal women seem to know the roles they are best at, like Fonda and Russell playing whores.

Why don’t all these lib dogooders use some of their multi million movie contracts and spring for a security guard or security system at each and every school? I’ll surely thank them for their generous gifts.

...so they’re going to make more movies/tv shows with liberal themes?

They’re already doing that.

Or maybe they’ll cram their big government socialist philosophy down our throats?

They’re already doing that too.

If you’re going to make a threat, you need something credible to back it up...

They will all require advance notice of future meetings so their armed security can clear the location before their arrival.

Dear Julianne:

Are your children well-disciplined enough that they will always ask to examine an object that grasps their curiosity, or will they just grab for it when they first see it?

That's the difference between kids who cause gun accidents, and kids who don't touch without permission.

Safe in their Fortress of Hollywood, with 24/7 armed security, I’d feel safe too.

Don’t you know that good looks and acting ability (many times NOT) gives you the expertise to impose your beliefs in every area of life? /s

Good luck

The campaign, which has the backing of stars including Steve Carell, Ellen DeGeneres, Jennifer Lawrence, Kim Kardashian, Yoko Ono and Reese Witherspoon plus dozens more, is calling for guns to be kept out of the hands of criminals, domestic abusers, stalkers and those with mental illness...The *mental illness* constitutes 99% of Hollyweird.

The first step is for Hollywood studios to remove any and all armed guards and for Hollywood celebrities to insist that their personal security and bodyguards do the same.

Julianne "Guns For Me But Not For Thee" Moore

Oh, and here she is with a fellow gun grabber, Liam Neeson, encouraging the 'gun culture' with 'microaggressions':

Who is this character? Never heard of her so I think I will go with what other better known actors have said.

Hollywood liberals make violent films for entertainment and they’re concerned about gun violence?

They don’t see the disconnect.

Hey Julianne, why don't you start with Claire Wolfe?

I'll bet you your whiny sanctimonious passive-aggressive ass can't cash the check your mouth is writing.
