Celebrities Urge Americans to Reject NRA, Concealed Carry in Wake of Vegas Shooting
Big Hollywood (Breitbart) ^ | October 18, 2017 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 10/18/2017 8:07:29 PM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

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 Vegas–after 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.

Me, too. I’ve been breathlessly waiting to hear what “celebrities” have to say on the matter. I’m so glad I waited. I might have done something foolish without their guidance. Between them and the nanny state, I feel very safe at night.

The idiots overlook the fact before Steven Paddock turned into a mass murderer, he was a law-abiding gun owner.

His arsenal or the lack of it, had zero to do with what happened that night. Its the values, stupid.

Pervey whine-stain declared he would atone for his sins by working to destroy the NRA. Looks like hollowwood still submits weakly to him.

Death.... (insert dramatic, over-acting, Captain Kirk-style pause here) ....... to hollowood.

you won't be my fantasy girl any more."

"Piss off, you ass-faced moron!"

"Yep, she still loves me."

These Hollywood sex fiends don’t need a Paddock to enforce bump stock justice on them. These yahoos are not just shooting themselves in the foot. They are engaging in the suicide shots to themselves and the entire industry.

Let Sheryl Crow start knocking on peoples’ doors and demand,

“I’m here for your guns! Hand them over NOW!!!”

“The mass shooting in Las Vegas has all of us grieving, scared and angry,”.

No it doesn’t. We’re not pansies who take morality lessons from perverts

Right, because Americans have proven that they care what celebrities think about stuff. We watch the dancing bear perform, we don’t care about the noises it makes after it’s done dancing.

A young guy I work with had three “yutes” try to mug him last weekend, one with an aluminum baseball bet. He’s got one hell of a bruise on his left arm. His right arm pulled his XD40 and they ran away. A relative of another employee was carjacked by a nutcase with a knife who cut her arm and ordered her to drive out into the country. When they stopped she took the opportunity to pull her legally carried pistol and he ran. He was caught later. Suddenly fellow employees who considered us nuts for packing are asking us how to get licensed.

If someone in the crowd had had a gun and just fired back at the windows where Paddock was, he/she might have been able to save dozens or scores of live by giving the targets a chance to escape.

Hollywood elites don’t care for the common/working class people except for their money.

Time to boycott Hollywood trash - both anti-American movies and leftist actors/actresses.

It’s a shame since I loved Emma Stone in “Zombieland”.

What does concealed carry have to do with Las Vegas and bump stocks?

"Never let a good crisis go to waste.."

Ring a bell?

these people are so irrational that it really must be something in the Hollywood water supply that rots out their brain cells

however, it is fascinating to note that the Communists (and Nazis....all the extreme leftist dictator types) always want to take away the citizens’ ability to do self-defense....

its part of the communist program to impose dictatorial control over you, the entire society, to disarm you

so it really does appear that Hollywood never got over its communist infestation

What exactly has concealed carry of firearms got to do with the Vegas shooting? And what effect would their desire to disarm legal concealed carriers have on criminals?

Celebrities love to make money off of violence and guns and then preach disarming the citizenry, if they were true to their supposed convictions they would never take a part in anything that had guns in it. But of course the greedy bastards and bitches take all the violent roles they can to make obscene amounts of money and then preach to us from their pulpit of celebrity, as that makes them intelligent or relevant.

And now you see the motive for the Vegas murders.

All I want to know is if Laura Dern swallered or spit it out when Good Ol’ Harve did the potted plant thingee on her...

Did Emma Stone wipe Harve’s “man essence” off her face before she stepped up to the microphones?
