Emma Stone, Melissa McCarthy, and Sheryl Crow are among a number of celebrities urging Americans to reject the NRA and concealed carry of firearms in the wake of the shooting at a Las Vegas country music concert this month.
Laura Dern, Bill Hader, and Adam Scott are also taking part in the anti-gun campaign, as is noted gun control advocate Julianne Moore. The celebrities are part of the Michael Bloomberg-funded Everytown for Gun Safety PSA against the NRA specifically, and against gun rights generally.
In typical Everytown fashion, the PSA does not present real solutions to the attack in Vegasafter all, the attacker complied with all gun controls, including background checks, so no new law would have stopped him. Even gun control advocate Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) admitted as much on the October 8 airing of Face the Nation. Therefore, in lieu of a substantive position, the celebrities are urging Americans to call Congress and oppose things that had nothing to do with the Las Vegas attack.
The mass shooting in Las Vegas has all of us grieving, scared and angry, Stone opens the video. From here, various other celebrities appear, telling people to text REJECT to Everytown. They inform viewers that the gun control group will call those who text, give them contact numbers for lawmakers, and give [them] guidelines on what to say when they talk to their lawmakers.

Celebrities - what don’t they know?
Lets face it so far no cure has been found for stupidity and these incidents can and will repeat themselves. The same holds true for crooked politicians and given a chance they invariably will make every effort to control their constituencies life from cradle to grave. History is full of examples, first render people defenseless by taking away any armament they may possess and then rule and impose what ever pleases the few who have the power to do so. This was exactly envisioned by our Founding Fathers, who did not need a psychologist to tell them that unlimited power corrupts and this is why we have the Second Amendment. Should everything else fail and push comes to shove at least suppressed citizens have a fair chance at correcting the problem and even the score.

If those who can afford to live in security anywhere (well, except for the various ‘stans that won’t put up with their progressive or poofter-friendly BS) want to live where there is no 2nd Amendment and lots of “common sense gun laws” they can certainly afford to live in places that are already like that rather than change what we have got ... which is hopefully far, far away from me.
I’m too afraid to give up my guns. What if I find myself alone with Harvey Weinstein? I ain’t gonna be no unarmed potted plant!
per wiki: “Emily Jean Stone (born November 6, 1988) is an American actress. The highest-paid actress in the world, she has .. “
And I had no idea who she is.
Advice taken under advisement, considered and rejected.
I will continue to enjoy my God-given right to keep and bear arms.
Now, go away trollop.
Sitting on a fence near a cesspool
Wants to dive on in and enjoy the fun
It’s a gun free party
Leave your freedom at the door
Then Paddock would have had to haul his guns up to his room in the open.
People in the casino would have seen him and called the police before he could do any harm.
Is that what celebrities really think?
Yeah, the heck with concealed carry. Open carry should be legal everywhere.
I urge Americans to reject Celebrities.
XOXOXO,
The NRA
The credibility of Hollywood is in the dumpster and with them they may pull down the movie industry. They had better use a little more brain cells than it takes to repeat a movie script.
The march of history > Dumbass celebs
OPEN LETTER TO “OUR PUBLIC SERVANTS” CONCERNING GUNS!
Our President is protected with GUNS! Congress is protected with GUNS! Governors are protected with GUNS! Celebrities are protected with GUNS! Public events are sometimes — protected with GUNS! Banks are protected with GUNS! Courts are protected with GUNS! Office buildings are protected with GUNS!
The fact is that 99+% of the 400 MILLION GUNS in America KILLED NOBODY TODAY, YESTERDAY, LAST WEEK, LAST MONTH, LAST YEAR, ETC. Among others, Pew Research has found that as gun OWNERSHIP increased, CRIMES with guns dropped dramatically. That bears out Professor John Lott’s earlier study that when there are MORE GUN, there is LESS CRIME.
When prison inmates are asked which they feared more, an angry ARMED CITIZEN or the POLICE, the ARMED CITIZEN WON hands down. Why? Because the criminals understand, as do most of us who don’t live in a protective bubble and know that because there are only around 2.4 SWORN OFFICERS for every 1,000 or so of US, When SECONDS count, the police are ONLY MINUTES away. They’ll often arrive just ahead of the Medical Examiner, string up some of that colorful Crime Scene tape, mark the outline of your body on the ground, take some photos and may even help the ME load your lifeless carcass into the van!
I’ve said all that to say this:
If the Republicans in Congress cave to the insane, EMOTION DRIVEN DEMOCRAT HYPOCRITES’ DEMAND for MORE GUN CONTROL LAWS while DEMOCRAT CONTROLLED cities like Chicago, New York, Baltimore, etc. have the most stringent GUN CONTROL LAWS in the country AND THE HIGHEST GUN HOMICIDE RATES, those of us who understand that AND know that an estimated 2 MILLION crimes are prevented when a criminal is deflected when his victim simply BRANDISHES a weapon without firing a shot, those of us who understand FACTS and possess CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS will turn our backs on the GOP, organize a NEW PARTY and you will NEVER RECOVER!
We urge you to think VERY CAREFULLY about all of that as the drive ramps up to trash the Second Amendment and DISARM DECENT, LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS while YOU remain safe inside that protective bubble and behind large men who carry SHUDDER GUNS!
Liberal celebrities with paid bodyguards and 24/7 security tell us to give up our guns.
Over our dead bodies!
Perhaps the hollywierd crowd would like to explain why, in an area that has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation, there are gun murders almost daily in Los Angeles?
642 murdered and counting for 2017 (most by gun) - move over, Chicago.

LOL. Yes, instead of rejecting the NRA, let’s reject these Hollywood idiots.
The same people who saw nothing amiss with Harvey Weinstein’s groping of women are experts on Americans’ need to submit to stone-cold killers like Steven Paddock.
Makes kinda crazy twisted sense if you stop to think about it.
I was wondering how these hypocrites would wash the weinstein story and be put back to their sex predator plantation...
Um... no.
I think I’ll reject YOU instead.
I;ll be a believer when they give up their security guards. Otherwise, they are just peeing in a strong wind.
