Samuel L. Jackson...supports gun ownership?!

[jakemccoy]

Perspective...

There's nothing in that bit that suggests Samuel Jackson is anti-gun. Also, if you fully understand all the pro-gun arguments, you should be able to recognize that he brought up a few pro-gun points as humorous soundbites (e.g., the dog, the crazy criminals in California, history, protection from Manson-types). It sounds like Samuel has been hanging around pro-gun folks to me. By vocalizing his points on this show, Samuel did substantially more than "pro-gun" folks who are content to hang out secretly in their man caves with their 50 guns and ammo stash.

He also helps bust up the stereotype that all gunnies are old bitter palefaces who drink Buttweiper and wear camo and fly the Stars and Bars all day.

Anything that plays havoc with how the other side stereotypes us is a Very Good Thing.

break the status quo perceptions, and people pay attention (and may open their minds alittle).

I liked this interview. He even brought up my favorite point about Hollywood movies - if the people getting stalked by monsters were armed, movies would be a lot shorter and less interesting.

He also has clearly put some thought into tactics (call 911, get behind the bed, let the boogeyman come to you).

I think that this interview may get a few other Hollywood stars to come out of the gun safe, so to speak.

I think a few folks watched this and thought "That makes a lot of sense. I never really thought about that before." They might like Samuel L Jackson, they might not, but a good idea is a good idea.

Lol "The other %10 they hit with their pick-up truck".
