While standing in front of a poster of himself brandishing a firearm in "Taken 3," actor Liam Neeson offered condolences for the victims of the recent terror attacks in Paris, then launched into a profanity-laced tirade against gun ownership in the United States, Breitbart.com reported Monday, citing Gulfnews.com. According to Neeson, gun ownership in America is "a (bleeping) disgrace."
"First off, my thoughts and prayers and my heart are with the deceased, and certainly with all of France, yesterday," he said. "I’ve got a lot of dear friends in Paris.” He then reportedly linked the attack to gun ownership in America.
“There’s too many (expletive deleted) guns out there,” he said. “Especially in America. I think the population is like, 320 million? There’s over 300 million guns. Privately owned, in America. I think it’s a (expletive deleted) disgrace. Every week now we’re picking up a newspaper and seeing, ‘Yet another few kids have been killed in schools.’”
"Let’s not get into it," he added when asked if the issue extends to police responsibility. "Let’s put it this way: I think a light has been shone on the justice system in America, and it’s a justifiable light.”
Breitbart's AWR Hawkins said Neeson apparently overlooked the fact that France is "rich in gun control," but all of the country's laws were unable to stop the brutal killings in Paris. Initially, reports said, French officers responding to the scene of the attack were forced to retreat because they were unarmed. Officers in Paris are given the option to carry firearms, TPNN said, but many apparently do not.
The Washington Post said that unlike the United States, French citizens do not have a right to keep and bear arms.

I have liked the roles Neeson has played. He's on my don't support list now. Idiot.
America has too many actors with no brains.
Liam Neeson, like so many other hollywierd actors, is a clueless moron. And I guarantee I will never pay money to watch one of his movies again either. no problem.
I didn’t realize the Paris attackers got their guns from America...and if not, then Mr. Nelson is blaming the wrong country.
So make a movie w/o guns hypocrite.
Pray America is waking
The "Taken" franchise is a goldmine.
This idiotic outburst will literally cost the studio millions.
Unless he's told to get his mind right.
No matter how "liberal" Hollywood is, they love money more than anything.
Liam said a bit back that he was contemplating converting to Islam -
Take it from there
Disappointing
Another HALF-A$$ED know it all offers his worthless opinion.
Liberal nonsequitur alert!
"The love of money is the root of evil"
Liar Liam the loser ...... Guns in Paris weren’t from America sources. The black terrorist wasn’t an African American he was African african and again this leftist liberal lethargic linguist leprechaun links his agenda into a tragedy ..... Doom on him.
Hey Liam the liar ... Your movies suck as do the people who pay to see em.
Anyone with any sense got out of Ireland long ago, the only ones left are the idiots. And they’re all a bunch of socialists.
Wonder if Mr Neeson ever saw that movie?/sarc
Well, that might explain things. America will be a tough nut for the Muzzies to crack as long as we stay armed. Maybe he's just doing his part (to weaken America) for his future masters.
But, opinions have consequences. As far as his movies go, I won't be watching.
Hannibal Smith of all people says this? Wow lol..the A team became the Z team
Stallone made the same mistake. I will never shell out money to watch another Stallone movie. I have largely stopped going to the movies entirely. The fact is, the most recent Hobbit movie was the first movie I have seen at the movie theater since the last Hobbit movie. F Hollywood.
I thought George Peppard did a better Hannibal Smith, anyway.
Tall Irish peeps are stoopit. ...
