(8,452 posts)I oppose artists, actors and entertainers taking these radical political stands. Better to heed advice from intellectuals like Chuck Norris, Victoria Jackson, Craig Nelson, Charlton Heston, Ted Nugent, Bo Derek and their ilk.
Down with the Hollywood elite.
Disclaimer: I do realize I just listed a bunch of mostly washed up actors and has beens, but that doesn't stop the righties from posting quotes from any one of these dipshits every couple days or so.

(8,339 posts)You seriously need to get your priorities in order if you think gun control is radical. And comparing the people in that honorable video to nuts like Norris, Jackson, heston, and Nugent is really sick.
Time to pull on your big girl panties and grow up.

Does being an entertainer mean one should not let their voice be heard?

Waaaay too many dislikes. The nutz are not happy.
Update: less that 12 hours later, it has gone from 30% dislikes to nearly 40% dislikes.

(15,886 posts)My point being, the devil is in the details. Some plans (like the NRA's) would do more harm than good.
But I wholeheartedly agree with the OP -- we can't just wail & gnash our teeth for a couple months, then do nothing and revert to the status quo (which is essentially the NRA's status quo).
I hear Joe Biden's working on it.
