Sean Penn armed w/ a shottie!

Nice picture on the Drudge Report showing Sean Penn trudging through the waters in NO carrying a shotgun, byline says his fans are shocked. Maybe he confiscated it from somebody's home. Two bit left wing celebrities never fail to amaze me.

looks like he may have another long gun under wraps in the other hand, so yeah, maybe he just found them, and didn't want them in the wrong hands. Though I wonder whose hands he thinks are the wrong ones.

Sean Penn's no stranger to guns, somebody stole a Glock and a .38 from his car relatively recently.

Now, whether or not he supports our right to own one is a different story....

Seen plenty of folks who only had problems with other people's guns.

Just wish they would quit trying to take them away...

These people piss me off more than anyone else. If someone wants to be anti-guns that is fine, I will disagree with you but you are welcome to have your point of view. But damn those who feel they have the right or need to own guns but others don't.

Oh ya, way to go Mr. Penn. I hope some of his co-workers/friends see this image and open up their minds a little.

Cut him some slack. He can't differentiate fantasy from reality. He thinks he's on a movie set.

If that guy wants to keep jumping from hot spot to spot in the world he should either (A) take a job with Fox News or (B) join the State Department. Its ridiculous some washed up actor is going around the world making a fool of himself and thinking he represents the US. I really hope that is his own 12 gauge and he isn't trying to do any confiscation/collecting from private citizens.

Nothing terribly surprising there. He was outed a year or so ago when he reported a couple of handguns were in his car when it was stolen.

We need new names for the namecalling.

It seems that there are quite a few people here who combine "liberal" with "gun-hating". There are a great many liberal gun nuts out there, and they would likely take exception to comments like these. Sean Penn may be an idiot, and he may be liberal, but please do not lump all liberals into his idiocy. Been to Vermont? That's the unofficial capital of liberal gun owners. Are they all idiots? Are they "facing reality" sufficiently to satisfy all of the forum members here?
Sorry to get off topic, but remarks like that should be very carefully selected.
When Penn's car was robbed of its contents and he reported handguns stolen, I laughed pretty hard, shook my head, and forever since have completely dismissed everything he says and does.

Thank you. And yes, we *do* get irritated, I come here for the less-depressing side of the news and the "You must be an idiot to..." stuff gets tiresome quickly.

Life's a balancing act.

outlawing guns is a liberal idea
therefore people who want them outlawed are liberals

That's right, nobody in NO is allowed to have guns... unless you're a celebrity or member of the ruling elite of course...

If that was the incident in Berkeley, Kalifornia - I believe his car was stolen and he had a couple of guns in it. I recall the article mentioned he had a CCW in Kalif.

Well, that's the risk you take when you buy into an ideology.

By the same token, there may be some conservative Christians out there who are pro-choice; they probably get irritated when they keep hearing about the "anti-abortion religious right."

That doesn't change the fact that certain ideologies are overwhelmingly associated with certain policy positions. The association of left/liberals and gun control is one such instance.

I've got a dog that will eat broccoli and oranges. That doesn't mean dogs are vegetarians.

Isn't Penn a convicted felon?
