Vince Vaughn Speaks in Support of 2nd Amendment

#1

Post by Vol Texan »

Well, he's no Charlton Heston, and I've only been an occasional fan of his work (some good movies, some bad movies, but usually the same stereotype). But Vince Vaughn has publicly supported the 2A, and deserves the praise on our end to counter the thrashing that he's going to get from the left in Hollywood:

From the CNN article:
Actor Vince Vaughn says he supports guns in schools to prevent mass shootings, detailing his stance in an interview in British GQ's July issue.

Vaughn, star of screwball comedies such as "Wedding Crashers," "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy" and "Starsky & Hutch," came out full force in favor of the Second Amendment.

"I support people having a gun in public full stop, not just in your home," Vaughn said. "We have the right to bear arms to resist the supreme power of a corrupt and abusive government.

"It's well known that the greatest defense against an intruder is the sound of a gun hammer being pulled back."
He's already starting to catch some heat over it:
The social media debate has already begun, with @mydaughtersarmy tweeting, "You're afraid we will take away your guns. We're afraid your guns will take away our children. We haven't taken any of your guns. Your guns have taken too many of our children. Whose fears are unfounded?"
Your best option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.
When those fail, aim for center mass.

Good comments except I winced at this one:

That is how it works in the movies.

They use children because they think it will pull at everyones heart. Im not married and i don't have kids, so i could really care less. I always have my gun when I'm out with my niece and nephew i hope to teach at least my niece how to shoot soon. My nephew well that kid would hurt himself with a rubber band.lol
