Not Quite What I Expected..........

In my previous post, I was wondering if some fatass politician was going to blame the NRA for the recent terrorist attack in France. 

We didn't quite get that.  Yet.

What we got instead was the actor Liam Neeson blaming this on "too many (expletive deleted) guns in America".  That's right.  "Too many guns".

It wasn't the magazine printing cartoon images of the prophet Mohammed that caused this.  Nope.  That couldn't possibly have anything to do with this.

And it certainly wasn't the terrorists.  Nope.  That could never have caused the attack either. 

Instead it's "too many guns" in America that caused this.

It doesn't matter that this terrorist attack happened in France.  It also doesn't matter that the French gun control laws placed the first police officers responding to this into a state of being disarmed when trying to take control of the situation.  That has nothing to do with this, according to Liam Neeson.  It can't possibly have anything to do with this  at all.  Nope.  Instead, it's all because of the "too many guns" in America.

This is rather rich coming from someone who's earned quite a pile of money starring in movies that glorify gun violence.  He takes money from a motion picture studio that glorifies the violent use of guns, and then blames a terrorist attack on one country on guns that are in another country.

I'm very glad that Liam Neeson came forward to blame the "too many guns" in America for this.

One........it makes all of the gun control proponents look stupid.  Not a single one of them is disavowing his remarks.  Not one. 

Two.  It shows us the level of hypocrisy that a Hollywood actor can suffer from.

Three.  It also shows us just how disconnected from reality that a Hollywood actor can be. 

I hope that from this day forward, Liam Neeson refuses to star in any movie where a gun is used, be it for portraying a criminal activity or for a "good guy" using it to defend himself.

I also hope that if he has a concealed weapon permit, that he reports to the nearest police station to surrender it, along with the gun that he carries for self-protection.
