What movie actors are into guns in real life?

Don't know about guns, but Sly Stallone is a knife collector going way back. An old friend of mine, who used to make customer knives, made one for Stallone.
This may be a reach, but usually people into exotic blades are usually into firearms as well.

You guys sure about some of these?
It's too bad some of them won't "come out" about it. Most are in the "guns are bad for everyone but me/us" crowd.
I do know that James Cameron approached Michael Biehn about appearing in "The Abyss" while they were shooting at Cameron's place. I read that in a magazine a while back.

Unless I missed something...I'm amazed no one has mentioned Rick Schroder of NYPD Blue. He became a life member of the NRA as soon as he was old enough to own a gun.
BTW -- Jerry Ryan's character was Seven of Nine -- known simply as Seven by the crew of Voyager....

Mastrogiacomo,
I mentioined Rick Shroeder. Thats okay though he is such a big RKBA supporter he deserves to be mentioned again. And he was much better in Lonesome Dove in my opinion .

What do you mean!? "On Deadly Ground" is one of the finest comedies about Alaska ever made!

I'm not a big C&W music fan, but based on their leftie statements regarding the War last year, I'd assume that the Dixie Chicks might be excluded from "the majority of Country artists" who are pro.
There was a thread here a while back regarding a spot he did after an episode of "24" for some kind of gun-safety group. Don't know if that makes him pro or anti. Personally, I'd lean into believing he's anti, except for the "pretty people". Plus, his dad is Canadian.
Some of the themes to their movies are pro-gun. StarWars comes to mind for Lucas, and Spielberg has done a couple of movies which escape me now themed around Guns/Jews/WWII.
While there is some debate among the THR crowd, I think most of us believe we could get by just fine without most of our gun-control laws. It would be nice if more of the public figures who believed as such would stand up and make their positions known. As I see it, they've been unwilling, mostly in the name of PC-crap, to stand up to the anti's who are more than willing to voice their views.

Does anyone know about Clint Eastwood? Is he pro or anti? If he turns out to be anti I don't think I'd be able to watch any of his movies the same way any more. 
Been wondering what Charles Bronson thought about it too when he was still around.

Boofus: In answer to your question, Clint Eastwood is a self-labelled Libertarian, so it would be pretty contradictory if he were anti-gun.

I saw a picture of Harry Sanford presenting Clint Eastwood a 44 Automag after Sudden Impact. Don't think he would have accepted it if he was anti-gun; certainly he wouldn't have let a pic be taken.

i concur about find out if a celeb is one of the "guns good for me, but not for serfs" crowd (ala Brady, et al)
second in this thread i came upon something that i feel i should finally add my personal (and as always worthless to some/most) two cents on.
the problem is that HE thinks he's GOD!!!
every person that i have met that has had any contact with the man, that is not part of the Marcinlo "Cult", has been of the oppinion that if the man's ego was any bigger he'd have to rent storage to keep it in. not only that but that, contrary to the mythos Marcinko WANTS the rest of the world to beleive, the man is a DANGER to anyone around him in a combat or other life or death situation, especially if you're on HIS side!!
Wanna see what his contemporaries thought of Marcinko, take a browse though Chapter 20: "Dancing With the Devil" of SEAL! By Lt. Cmdr Michael J. Walsh.......
I won't write out the whole chapter of course just the most relevant pasage i found.
toward the end of an "interveiw" with Marcinko about join Team 6 that devolved into marcinko ranting a raving about his way or the highway etc etc.....
"by now I was getting bored with the program. there was no way i could work with this fruitcake and hope to survive the rigors of counterterrorist warfare. Dick had stopped going to war after his time in Southeast Asia. I hadn't. He'd done well on staff and in training, but I'd racked up a series of Navy Comabt Action ribbons since pulling five tours in vietnam, to include my advisory tour With Phoenix (Phoenix program, a "black ops" program that utilized Kidnapping asassination and torture to reduce adn or cripple the VC/NVA infastructure in S.Vietnam) . counterterrorist? who was kidding whom here? I'd BEEN a counterterrorist, and in some people's minds -many of whom were dead now- I was a terrorist as well. as i looked around again at the men in that room I wondered what proven ability any of those present could honestly claim in their new role"
that, plus some thing i won't bother repeating on here, sum it up quite well in more ways than one
Note: If you are on the polar opposite side of the spectum, with regard to the Marcinko issue. Then Let's, agree to disagree. My oppinion on this can't be changed without some MAJOR effort (as in prove that 10 otherwise unconnected people that have been honest with me on all other things are lying through their teeth). and if you feel the same way about your position, we'd just tick each other off and get nowhere. thank you

I have a very good friend who went to school with one of Marcinko's kids. Said he was a huge arse. Like the stories, though.

Yeah the more i come across the accounts of his contemporaries and others who've dealt with him the more i am convinced that they are JUST THAT, "stories". as in the kind that every navy man i've ever met will tell you should begin with the opening "this ain't no Sh#$...." (sea stories, aka Bull----).
Rogue warrior was Published as fiction b/c it IS fiction, or I should say fiction with just enough "fact" mixed in that Marcinko can point back adn say "well here's proof of at least THIS part of it. so why not beleive the rest? i was THERE..."
it's Almost laughable when you get down to it.
Famke Janssen the lovely & talented ex-model & star of Bond, X-men, & other flicks stated once in an interview that she "...knew it was politically incorrect to say it, but she thought guns were sexy". The interviewer didn't have the brains to press her on that issue. Pity, she's gorgeous & quite smart, a very good actress, too.

Referring to the pic just posted of Milla Jovovich, how do you tell if that's a Hi-Power or 1911? I know there has to be a huge difference, but I can never really tell when hands are covering the grip.

Well, my age will be obvious here , but I don't think anyone has mentioned Susan Howard and Steve Cannaly of the TV series "Dallas".

While not an expert on BHPs, I do own one, and I don't think she's holding one in the picture. From my vantage, it appears there is a grip safety, which would make it more likely to be some version of a 1911.
