Not all of Hollywood is jumping on the gun ban bandwagon

Samuel L Jackson and David Letterman are apparently not part of the Left-Wing group think. Jackson makes his feelings clear

Samuel L. Jackson, one of the stars of the new Quentin Tarantino-directed, Harvey Weinstein-produced Django Unchained, is speaking out against those who would restrict access to firearms or scale back violence in films in reaction to the massacre in Sandy Hook. Said Jackson:

“I don’t think it’s about more gun control. I grew up in the South with guns everywhere and we never shot anyone. This [shooting] is about people who aren’t taught the value of life … I don’t think movies or video games have anything to do with it.”

Jackson added, “We need to stop deranged people from getting access to guns.”

Letterman also is not ready to blame guns

Yet Letterman addressed the shooting with a candor and perspective that likely caught most viewers off guard.

“Do you think about the parents and their friends and getting that message from the school and finding out that their lives are irrevocably broken, ruined? You think about your own kid. I take him to school every now and then. Are we supposed to be worried about dropping our kids off at school now?” …. 

“Believe me, I’m not dumb enough to think that this is a problem of guns,” Letterman said. “Before there were guns, people were killing one another. And you can’t just say that its mental health or emotional problems because people with all manner of problems don’t necessarily kill each other.”

He also shared a statistic that likely shocked his studio audience, one that muddies the debate about gun control even further.

“Since 1994, there have been 70 episodes of school shootings, [all] after the Brady Bill had passed [in 1993]. Good lord, does that surprise you?” he asked.

Imagine that, Liberals telling the truth about guns and gun control. I wonder if these two will feel the wrath of their Hollywood brethren for daring to question Liberal ideology?

No, Alec Baldwin, you are not a victim of New Media, you are just an abusive asshole

Alec, Alec, Alec, just admit to yourself what everyone else knows

The Emmy-winning actor, who allegedly assaulted two separate journalists in just one week, is now blaming his public relation woes on … wait for it … New Media.

Oh, and the vast Right Wing Conspiracy, too.

In an interview with Charlie Rose, Baldwin said that because he’s “very vocal” about his political views, his “opposition within the Internet” moved quickly to distort the narrative.

After yesterday’s incident, the actor said, “All of the sudden, within 30 minutes, the misrepresentation of the story is out there by your political opponents. …Fox Nation says ‘Baldwin punches photographer.’ Not true. And that’s the thing that I find is the most difficult.” 

The photographer in question begs to differ.

Funny, as is pointed out at the link, most “outspoken” people manage to not do the things Baldwin does

George Clooney is very vocal about his political leanings. So are Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, Tom Hanks, Matthew Modine, Sarah Jessica Parker, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Harvey Weinstein and a plethora of Tinsel Town types.

Somehow, the aforementioned Hollywood players aren’t accused of wrestling with photographers, running over people on their bicycles or getting booted off of airplanes

See Alec, it IS you!
