Pro gun actors/actresses.

[MoviePropMaster2008]

I won't help with this list. Too many folks from the Biz peruse this site already, and Hollywood is notoriously vindictive against anyone they consider 'right of center' (and being pro gun ownership puts you into that category). Some of the lesser actors have actually suffered in bookings because of that. No reason to make this list.

But surely they have to make an exception for armorers? Are they really so naive as to think that somebody who keeps an inventory with thousands of weapons (even blank-converted) could possibly be "left-of-center"?

Sadly, yes.

There are two type of antigun celebrities.

The "nobody should own them" crowd, and the "nobody but me should own them im a celebrity and special" crowd. The second crowd can go to hell, the first is entitled to their opinion.

I heard that Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg like to do skeet shooting and I heard that Angelina Jolie actually owns the USP Match like the one she used in Tomb Raider.

Brad Pitt I heard is pro gun, so is

Samuel Jackson

Arnold of course

Robert DeNiro has a gun permit

Bill Cosby had a permit

Val Kilmer has a permit in New Mexico

Milla Jovovich

And best not forget about Bronson, Charleston Heston, and Robert Stack - may they rest in peace and R. Lee Ermey

How do you define "pro-gun?" A lot of these people just seem to enjoy shooting. There's a big difference.

With all due respect, I don't think it matters which actors are pro gun. When the director says "shoot him" the actor will ask "which guy".

"I've done a lot of violent movies, especially in the early days. My recent efforts, like The Bridges of Madison County (1995), weren't too violent. In recent years I've done less, and, yes, I am concerned about violence in film. In '92, when I did Unforgiven (1992), which is a film that had a very anti- violence and anti-gun play - anti-romanticizing of gun play theme, I remember that Gene Hackman was concerned about it, and we both discussed the issue of too much violence in films. It's escalated ninety times since Dirty Harry (1971) and those films were made." - Clint EASTWOOD

I mean pro gun as in supports gun ownership by civilians, so many celebs go and use that poistion as a way to try and push political agendas, like support the brady campaighn. Some actors will actually say they support the second ammendement and not care that left wing hollywood will shun them.
