Standing in front of a poster of himself holding a handgun in Taken 3, the latest installment in a film series that relies on gunplay to heighten action sequences, Liam Neeson spoke to the attacks on Charlie Hebdo by offering condolences, then saying: “There are too many [bleeping] guns out there, especially in America.”
“There’s too many [expletive] guns out there. 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] disgrace. Every week now we’re picking up a newspaper and seeing,’Yet another few kids have been killed in schools.'” Read more at www.inquisitr.com...
“A character like Bryan Mills going out with guns and taking revenge: it’s fantasy. It’s in the movies, you know? I think it can give people a great release from stresses in life and all the rest of it, you know what I mean? It doesn’t mean [the viewers] are all going to go out and go, ‘Yeah, let’s get a gun!'” Read more at www.inquisitr.com...
“Lost in the tirade was the fact that the discussion began with a focus on the attacks on Charlie Hebdo–attacks which took place in France, a country rich in gun control, yet one in which gun laws were impotent to spoil the plans of dedicated and well-trained attackers.

This thread appears to be trying to ridicule Liam Neeson for having an opinion.
He's an actor. Why does anyone give a # about what actors say. They aren't paid to think.

Which is the problem.
Opinions lead to LAWS. It's how every law gets past, and why we have had over 70 years of gun control.
That does nothing, but makes something that is already illegal more so.

Seriously...even though I am not a gun owner I believe people have the right to bear arms...unfortunately not all gun owners are responsible people...but many are.
Also people do not need to be gun owners to do harm...here in Seattle where I live...recently a city bus stopped at a stop downtown and a man stabbed another man on the bus with knife...his reason? The man was sitting too close to him.
Liam thinks there are too many gun owners in the U.S.? I wonder what he thinks about all the knife owmers in all the countries.

They are allowed to have thoughts and opinions on matters too you know.
Sure don't take them as the gospel or anything but we shouldn't act like they can't voice their opinions.
I agree with him on one point, we so glorify going our and shooting people in movies.
If we want to have the discussion about how rap music is creating a culture of lawlessness then we should the discussion of how Hollywood glorifies vigilante justice imo.

They are also paid to manipulate you into buying things, doing things, spread ideas etc. They are the face behind overt manipulation and people not only look up to these manipulators but also take their opinions alittle more seriously then they should.

Great use of the buzz words neo!
Hey you think everyone should have a gun right? So that means felons and other criminals right?
