I started this thread so that we can keep a list of our favorite Pro-Gun celebrities.


At the Top of the list:

1. Charleton Heston

2. Ted Nuggent

3. Tom Selleck

[Thylacine]

2 and 3 I am Ok with, but for #1 Why pick a man that said.. "AK-47's are inappropriate for private ownership.."? May 06 1997 interview on San Francisco's ABC radio affiliate KGO-AM.
:eek:

I know what he said later, "When I spoke of AK-47 firearms on May 6th, I was talking about the Soviet military rifle - a fully-automatic, not a semiautomatic, firearm - and what I thought was common knowledge. " May 12 1997 letter to Colonel Robert Brown.
:scrutiny:

(Not really important anymore I guess :) )

Thylacine, I'm not versed in the quotes Mr. Heston made, that you're mentioning. I do know this much: Mr. Heston could have lived a much easier life had he simply taken life easy! Here he was, a respected Hollywood actor, respected among his peers. He could have easily found himself amongst those who were protected by bodyguards. Mr. Heston instead chose to walk with the downtrodden, those cast down upon by society. He walked with Martin Luthor King, when it wasn't incumbent upon those in the upper reaches of Hollywood to do so.

Mr. Heston could have found his life MADE! He'd earned the respect of his peers, had won an Oscar, for God's sake. He could have easily retired to the simple, easy life he deserved. He didn't. He became the most public NRA president/director of all time. Mr. Heston was a great man, because he dared bigger things than you or I. He forsook the simple life, and took up the hugely public life of being all that you or I might hope to undertake. He was a great man!

#1 Jenna Jameson

[Just_a_dude_with_a_gun]

Bruce Willis.

[hayseed]

hint: they're all pro gun.

99% of them are anti YOU having a gun.

boycott 'em all.:barf:

[Waitone]

When it comes to making a living every last of one 'em is pro gun. It is only on the cocktail circuit that some go squishy. Danny Glover (of Lethal Weapon I-IV) is a classic example.

Jenna Jameson? I understand she is pro-a-lot-of-things, but where did pro-gun come from. I am just curious.

[cbsbyte]

Jenna like big black guns. :rolleyes:
Anyway the website Vex posted is very inaccurate. Many names on that list are put up there as a joke: Osama Bin Landen, Mickey Mouse, and Jesus Christ. I don' t know if there is a website with accurate names.
