Fourteen years ago, right after Columbine. Selleck had done an ad for NRA where I says "I am the NRA". Rosie went at him to the point that he looked like he was about to cry. He said...are you questioning my humanity? She said NO. But Lawrence O'Donnell said he WAS questioning his humanity and if he, Selleck, is silent...we'll know where he stands.

My guess is the NRA is giving him BIG MONEY. I can't imagine another reason why he would be so loyal to them and never speaks out.
