They probably packing an AR or Glock at their celebrity home..

[Ralston]

Ahmet Zappa -Actor
Diva Zappa -Actress
Dweezil Zappa - Musician
Gail Zappa -
Moon Zappa -Actress

Blows my mind that Ahmet, Diva, Dweezil, Gail and Moon would take this stance.

[BlackCatRacing#13]

They probably packing an AR or Glock at their celebrity home..

..... Your Right it would seem like One or More Celebrities would have a Handgun just in Case ,,, more then likely they will Hire Personal Security for Protection instead of Owning a Firearm

[FML1982]

Bet a lot of them live in areas with private armed security patrolling the area.

[Virus55]

Lol national black nurses association......

[AreWeFree]

Wow, a lengthy list of people who'd hate me... there's so many I don't even have time to read it.

[liberty47]

don't forget Jim Carey…..

[XDmax]

Booooooo

[SB1964]

As soon as they started to think their political opinions matter to us, I lost respect for a lot of them. Seems to me in the 80's. That little skank "Pink" I call her Stink, basically stopped fox hunting in the UK. They've only done it for hundreds of years. When they speak, I generally don't listen.

[GW]

So what?

[Solid Foundation]

Celebrities have about as much influence on your lives as you let them. Besides, about 90% of them held a gun in the name of entertainment and were paid well for it.

[Gomphe]

Personally, I am not surprised at the long list of celebrities who are anti-gunners. Hollywood is notoriously filled with Liberals who are oftentimes hypocrites themselves. In fact, anyone hoping for a glimmer of a chance to get into Hollywood and get their foot into the show business must subscribe to their Liberal way of thinking. Failure to assimilate into Hollywood's brainwashing machine risk being black listed from any movie projects.

However, there are some Hollywood celebrities that are pro guns while managing to make a name for themselves (such as Brad Pitt, his wife Angelina Jolie, and Chuck Norris). In fact, there are a few celebrities that either openly endorse the NRA or quietly support 2nd Amendment legislations. The only downside of this fact is that many of these celebrities are either retired or wants to maintain a low profile so that they can have a semblance of a normal life.

Even still, Hollywood is a major influence in our society as many younger folks who are incapable of logical and/or independent thought are easily swayed by these celebrities' interjection of their personal views/perceptions of society.

[SonofWWIIDI]

Famous people think that their opinions are more important than the opinions of the peasants...just like politicians and the uber wealthy.

Nothing new.

[Jules Winfield]

Interesting irony that the ACLU, a group purportedly committed to protecting individual liberty, supports the government removing gun ownership rights from individuals. Hypocrisy much?
