Actor blames Boston attack on gun culture: ’2nd amendment must go’

He does realize there was no guns involved in the marathon right?
I hope he is faced with a life or death scenario and see how he protects himself and his family. I bet he would wish he had a gun then....Hes an idiot, I never liked him anyway

There was a thread named " You will never hear about what I did today" It was started by Mr.Gone. He got so much ridicule from some people, he has bowed out for a while. If you were to read the thread, it runs along the same lines. I got one guy mad cuz he said no one should walk around with a gun, and he was being arrogant. So I posed the question, if this guy, with the gun, were walking past an alley and this guys mother or sister was getting raped, and Mr. gone stopped it would he be arrogant then? The thread is a good read, it gets funny at times, but worth the read.

If the gun crowd merely has insults and emotion(which they accuse others of) I find little to listen to. Hardly a compelling argument.

Perhaps you could share Jay's "Deep insight" on cultural violence, and why he is a hypocrite? What makes this guy so smart, that we shouldn't see him as ignorant of the true reasons behind violence?

How does a gun culture breed extremist terrorism? I'm sure the suspects they are looking for are 2 - 3 assault rifles, black, dressed in tactical gear.. it was the guns that caused the explosions, not extremists and bombs.

There you go. Was it that hard to make a point without lowering to the level of a Grade 5 child?

Wow. Just wow. As a person who is for some form of regulations on what weapons an individual can get their hands on, I think this statement is way over the top and actually quite ignorant.

I hope that wasn't directed at me, because I've actually presented a valid approach to this topic, I'm assuming that was directed at the other poster.

But I still await your defense for Jay Mohr

Why would I defend him. He's wrong. There is no logic to what he's saying.

so some worthless actor wants to get rid of the second ammendment to stop nonsense. actors got behind gays and now it's popular to be gay. now the world will get behind a moron and get rid of an ammendment to the constitiution? come on that is just stupid, most of the time the government ignores them granted but to finish plunging this country into more chaos is assanine. where will it stop you only have free speech if you are rich, what's next. this country is dying and people don't care enough about it to fix it. all they want it to have their guns and have sex with women/men/ who knows animals. help this country and quit your damn whining about guns. all it is simply is government creating drama so people don't know how else they are screwing over people.

To me, there is little to argue. He is unknown enough that, short of spending time researching him, I cannot for the life of me say much about him (other than I have seen him on TV).

He's just an idiot who pretends for a living. Ignore him.

And that is helping either side of the debate how?

Ever heard that saying, an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind?

Because it was written for these kinds of scenario. I hope YOU are faced with a life or death scenario, and see how YOU protect YOURself and YOUR family.

No wait, you'd just pull out your fully legalized pistol and blown them all away, right? Puh-leeeze.

You also don't appear to know the difference between fantasy violence and actual violence. For the record I have never even heard of the man who wrote this tweet.

it is definitely an attack on 2nd amendment by some of the celebrity. we all know where this is going to lead. i just hate one of my favorite comedians,will ferrell, has to be this way. cleverly saying gay marriage is right and guns are bad. shame shame

What part of that extremely accurate quote don't you understand?

reply to post by fairguy


Gay marriage is right. 100% right, and we should be ashamed of ourselves for not making this the national standard of acceptance.

For the exact same reasons, personal liberty, gun ownership is right too. And, just like being gay, i understand it isn't for everyone. But gun ownership is for me. Why would you want to infringe on that right any more than you would want to prevent gay people from finding their own personal happiness via marriage?

Something that you may not consider: if guns are outlawed, it will only make me a criminal. I am going to own a gun regardless of the law. What good does this do anyone?

Oh, is that so?

Would you like to explain the "Logic" of this actors position?

I dare you.

I TRIPLE Dog Dare you.

Because gay marriage doesn't believe that every problem in the world can be solved by simply shooting whoever disagrees with it... And if you choose to own a gun when (not if) it is outlawed then yes, that would make you a criminal and does no good to anyone whatsoever.

So a guy who hosts a sport show that have people banging heads, beating up the opponents, and other crazy violent things wants people to give up gun rights to stop violence? I guess he is an expert at promoting violence so he should know.

There is a big difference between people willingly competing in a violent sport, and people out to do their shopping having to stand in line beside someone with a loaded gun in his/her pocket. Quite a huge leap there really.

English. It's what all the cool people are talking these days.

ok it is "accurate" to most people and not all people that have an opinion based by the bible. i never agree that gay marriage is wrong. i am not a christian so my opinion is only that.

my original point i was getting at is some actors, comedians, entertainment industry, politicians etc. have to confuse the situation by any means necessary. the op is based on a bomb over a gun. my post is gay marriage over a gun. they just use a psy-op to get the leverage they are looking for.

He has a right to his opinion whatever it may be. The problem with this whole "effort" is it is beyond stupid. He seriously thinks, or believes, that the entire "violence" debate can be summed up in a tweet?

Seriously? Has he thought to address the violent nature of the the governing bodies of the world: church and state? Has he thought to address the nature of schools looking and feeling exactly like prisons? Has he looked to the prison for profit world.

Has he addressed the notion that several trillion interactions happened today, and yesterday, without violence?

No, it would seem that all of reality can be summed up in a tweet and that's good enough for us all.
