'Big Bang Theory' star Mayim Bialik slams NRA, calls for 'civil disobedience' to change gun laws
Fox News ^ | February18, 2018 | Tyler McCarthy

In the wake of the shooting that killed 17 people at a high school in Parkland, Florida, stars far and wide are speaking out in the ongoing gun control debate. Now, “The Big Bang Theory” star Mayim Bialik has made an impassioned plea for “civil disobedience.”

The star took to Facebook with a video post calling out lawmakers who receive funding from the National Rifle Association and private citizens who own guns.

“The images of those 17 faces will not leave my head, but I said that about the last shooting and the last faces and indeed, we forget,” she said. “I’m angry, I feel numb, I feel disgusted, I feel horrified and sometimes I feel all of these things at once.”

Unlike some of her celebrity counterparts, Bialik acknowledged the many other facets that often come up in the gun control debate, but noted that nothing can be done about them en masse.

What kind of civil disobedience is she proposing?

When I heard the term civil disobedience, what popped into my head was a 'Million Gun March' into Washington DC.

LOL! Statements don’t get much more ignorant than that.

Saying that as a conservative doesn’t get you any votes you wouldn’t have gotten anyway, IMO.

If the mentally weak and liberal (I know, redundant) have some star who supports a liberal stand, then all it does is reinforce their desire to vote for that candidate, even if they are totally ignorant on that issue simply because that person is a celebrity.

Although, I do believe a liberal celebrity who endorses a conservative candidate (as if that would ever happen) might indeed swing some votes of the mentally weak electorate. That’s just the way they roll, IMO...sadly.

As of this moment, I am done watching Big Bang Theory.

Sorry, Kaley. You were my favorite.

In addition, I bet the set of “The Big Bang Theory” has plenty of armed guards.

Maybe Ms. Bialik should convince the guards to give up their firearms.

Kaley once wore an Obama T-shirt in one episode of “The Big Bang Theory” when Obama was running for president. That was a turn off.

“But what about my bolt action deer rifle with the scope sight? It’s not an assault weapon.”

Wrong, Elmer. The U.N. Commission on Small Arms Proliferation has classified your Remington as a “medium range sniper weapon”, and they want it, too.

But how do they come and take it? That’s a sticky wicket, old chap.

>>>How many responsible, law abiding people, NRA members have committed atrocities?<<<

Anyone with $25 can join the NRA, just as anyone on FR can become a Member of DU for yucks.

Liberals act like the NRA is some exclusive Secret Society like MS-13, but they love MS-13 Members more.

I wouldn’t put it past a Liberal Nutcase to join the NRA then Murder some People using an AR-15 just because.

How is that different from yelling fire in a theater?

I call for civil disobedience to shut down all of the liberal run movie and television studios. They are the main cause of these mass shooting and for the destruction of our moral society.

Nope. Neuroscience.

Incidentally, the Unabomber had a PhD in math. Harvard and Michigan grad IIRC.

No, that’s gastric disobedience. It’s a little different.

Here she is, gleefully belting out the words you see in the caption, in a 2016 Get-Out-The-Vote-For-Hillary video aimed at millennials ---

This frame is at 2:51, and the video I took it from is here.

I don't watch sitcoms, but I'd heard from a conservative friend that they admired her for the rarity of being a liberal Jewish Hollywood actress who stood up for her faith and vocally supported Israel, as opposed to the usual "Boycott/Divest Israel; Israel == Apartheid South Africa" movement supported by most Jews in Hollywood & Academia.

Well, hey, guess what? I'll give you points for sticking up for your faith. But when you trash my faith with lyrics like that, whether written by you or not, you just lost all those points and much much more.

Bialik got in trouble with the PC crowd a couple of months ago. She seemingly blamed Harvey Weinstein’s victims for not being modest enough. The PC crowd really raked her over the coals. This could be Bialik’s attempt to get back in their good graces.

She also caught some flak from the PC crowd recently when she made a donation to the IDF. At the end of the day though, she is a hollywood leftist who doesn't want to be seen as biting the hand that feeds her, so her pendulum needed to swing back to the left. This incident was the perfect opportunity for her and the other hollywood hypocrites with their armed bodyguards to do some virtue-signaling.

Amy, Amy, Amy - don't sound like the real PHD that you are with unthought-out thoughts like: The lack of mental health care for people in this country who need it is astounding and horrifying....

Who decided the mentally ill cannot be held/treated against their will and emptied the asylums into the streets? Hint - it's the same folks always calling for gun confiscation.....

Too bad she’s not interested in doing something about mental illness.

Forget it, Blossom. Go sell fascism somewhere else. We’re all stocked up here.
