Actor Liam Neeson on Paris attack: Americans have too many guns
Examiner.com ^ | 1/13/15

Posted on 01/13/2015 8:38:30 PM PST by Impala64ssa

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.

Hmm, do we blame the guns? Or do we blame America? Or do we blame the Jews? decisions, decisions.
FTA A character like Bryan Mills going out with guns and taking revenge: it’s fantasy...It doesn’t mean they’re all going to go out and go, ‘Yeah, let’s get a gun!
Oh, really? Yet every time a school, theater or other "soft target" gets shot up these very same hypocrites hope and pray with all they've got that the shooter is some "right wing kook" influenced by something Sarah Palin, Ted Cruz, or a TEA Party member said, only to be disappointed when the psycho turns out to be just that, a psycho.

Gun ownership in America caused the islamo-nazi problem in France.

Right.

Yeah, I see the connection. Muzzies kill people in France because there's too much gun ownership in America. Got it.

He is thinking about becoming a Muslim to boot:

Typical liberal jackwagon.

First, he fails to see the hypocrisy in the fact that he makes movies that are entirely devoted to shooting guns and killing people and then secondly, France is a gun-free zone that prohibits even the police from possessing them. Lot of good that did, eh?

Lord Almighty, I really do loathe Hollywood types, liberals and foreign jackasses like Liam Neeson.

Just one more actor that I will be boycotting.

gun ownership is precisely why the Islamic terrorist faggots think twice before they attempt a Paris type attack here.

- - well, short of that crazy army officer in ft. Bliss, which is sort of another story.

The guy is an ignorant ass ... he should just shut up and act (guns and all). If he really felt this way he would turn down all acting gigs that involved guns.

He is just kowtowing to all the Hollywood liberals to assure his next movie contract.

What does a bunch of murdering, sorryass camel jockeys in France have to do with the number of guns in America? I don’t get it. Must be some of that freaky, “progressive” math with some crazy liberal geography tossed in.

Speaking about his latest movie Neeson said "He (his character) takes the law into his own hands. I think that's great!"

But he opposes the lawful ownership of firearms. What a freaking pea-brained buffoon.

Everyone knows it’s Climate Change causing the increase in Muslim associated deaths.

So Parisian Muslims shoot up France, and it’s all America’s fault? Okay.
