This Movie Star Thinks Gun Control is “Absolutely Insane”

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Kurt Russell actually has the guts to call himself a libertarian in Hollywood.
In a recent interview with a Hollywood reporter, he called those who actually believe gun laws will stop violence and terrorism “absolutely insane.”
When Wells went on to say that guns are a âmetaphor that disenfranchised white guys need,â Russell let loose.
âIf you think gun control is going to change the terroristsâ point of view, I think youâre, like, out of your mind,â he began. âI think anybody [who says that] is. I think itâs absolutely insane.â
âDude, youâre about to find out what Iâm gonna do, and thatâs gonna worry you a lot more,â the actor continued. âAnd thatâs what we need. That will change the concept of gun culture, as you call it, to something [like] reality. Which is, if Iâm a hockey team and Iâve got some guy bearing down on me as a goal tender, Iâm not concerned about what heâs gonna do â Iâm gonna make him concerned about what Iâm gonna do to stop him. Thatâs when things change.â
Russell went on to say that terrorists can use anything as a weapon, including things like knives and cars, so outlawing everything isn’t the answer. You can listen to the audio of the interview here.
Kudos to Kurt Russell for having the brains -and the guts- to speak his mind on a common sense issue, and for not giving into Hollywood’s pressure to “be progressive or be silent.”
