This is not what you expected.

I support people having a gun in public full stop, not just in your home. We don’t have the right to bear arms because of burglars; we have the right to bear arms to resist the supreme power of a corrupt and abusive government. It’s not about duck hunting; it’s about the ability of the individual.

Nice to know there are a few Hollywood types who actually think for themselves and know what the Constitution says and means.

There are actually more "Conservative" types in hollwood than we are led to belive. Mostly because if your an up and comer and speak up about guns or gay marriage or what have you are blacklisted and it threatens your livelyhood. Often times you hear comments like Vaughns after they have "Arrived" and can get away with speaking thier mind...

Yeah, I know there are others. But the vast majority of people in entertainment are wildly liberal. Music, movies, TV; it doesn't seem to matter. And most of them are mind-numbingly stupid when they talk politics, with few exceptions.

Geraldo thinks Vince is just like Timothy McVeigh for his comments.

"The number Bolling was looking for was 2,082 defensive gun uses (DGUs) per day. That number comes from Florida State University criminologist Gary Kleck’s scholarly work showing a minimum of 760,000 DGUs a year.

That’s not a typo — guns are lawfully used by civilians to save lives or thwart burglaries, kidnappings, etc., 760,000 times every year. Far from legend, Breitbart News previously reported that Kleck reaffirmed these findings on February 17 and explained that no one has produced empirical evidence to refute them since he first put them forth in 1993."

It depends. I think you can be a conservative in Hollywood, but not a right-winger, if that makes sense. There are plenty of pro-2a and economic conservatives out there that are pretty vocal. But yeah, the gay marriage issue is a kiss of death.
