Not only that, will these "stars" also stop having armed body guards as well?

It's the same reason people eat fast food instead of real food--convenience, name-recognition, and marketing.

Shouldn't Patton Oswald be more worried about why his wife offed herself to get away from him. Pretty embarrassing that someone chose liquor and pills over being with him for another minute. He's trash just like the rest of them.

No they wont. But holding authorities responsible when they ignore continued warnings as well as addressing the increasing rate of single parenthood and the reasons behind it would.

Thy could assemble every kiddie-didding Hollyweirdo out there and it would not change the minds of the patriotic gun-culture types. They don’t get it...Hollywood is a tar baby to this crowd. If Hollywood wants them to think a certain way, these are the people who will automatically take the opposite stance.

The NRA folks are the opposite: their guns are it for them. They’ll slog it out to their graves.

so the hollywood stars are going to take on the NRA, that would be like the national guard taking on the marines corps, they wont win anything, in fact they will very likely get slaughtered in the attempt.

celebs say they will show up at NRA convention in Dallas and make them "wish they had stayed home"


Quote:
“We’re going to shine a bright light on what you and your organization do to America. We’re going to make sure the whole world sees your bloody hands,” the letter to LaPierre says.

“We’re coming for your money. We’re coming for your puppets,” it says. “And we’re going to win.”

According to NoRA’s website, the group intends to head to the NRA’s annual meeting next month.

“We’re going to show up at the NRA convention in Dallas and make them wish they stayed home,” the website says. “We might just sue the pants off the NRA.”

It is the oldest civil rights group in America, and it is not going anywhere.

These sniveling self aggrandizing fools just make themselves look more pathetic with their activism.

Maybe, maybe not. They could be greatly diminished though. The older generation loves their guns...the next generation not so much. You guys will eventually die while the next generation takes over. They can very well vote out any congressman who supports them.
