Liberal News Site Releases Video Mocking NRA’s ‘Anti-Gun Celebrities List’

Feb. 5, 2013 7:35am Mytheos Holt

The National Rifle Association (NRA) has come in for a great deal of criticism in light of its recent actions regarding the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. Now, that criticism has turned to mockery.

The Left-leaning news site The Daily Beast has produced a video highlighting the NRA’s list of anti-gun celebrities, a subject that frequently comes up during debates over gun rights. However, The Daily Beast has chosen to outright parody the very concept by cobbling together every clip of the various Hollywood stars represented on the list wielding guns.

“The NRA keeps a list of ‘anti-gun celebrites,’” the ad begins. “But watch out! They’re armed!”

Some of the celebrities represented include Meryl Streep, Dustin Hoffman, Billy Crystal, Jack Nicholson, Jodie Foster and Sylvester Stallone.

Does the humor work? You can watch the clip below and decide for yourself:

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

None of these pu**ies have ever really fired a weapon and could not hit the broad side of a barn under duress of battle or for that matter keep their diapers dry.
Semper Fi!

These lists give freedom loving Americans an easy guide in order to deny material support to those who work against us.

Very good precedent, and really a website needs be created for that purpose, especially companies or organizations to look out for.

The best thing is to deny Hollywood or Network television a dime of your money if at all possible. Start actually doing something productive instead of staring at their garbage.

I have cable internet only, and it has been so for years now.

I dont think it is in good taste to have a group which promotes deadly force against enimies to come out with an enimies/hit list. if they dont want to sound extreme or radical they should choose their words more carefully.

  Are you a member of the NRA? Provide proof that they “promote the use of deadly force against enemies”.
  
  If you mean protect yourself and your family from criminals then Ok, but that isn’t exactly the same thing.
  
  Denying these people your money is something that works though.

  Fair enough.
  
  You have to be specific as we have Criminals running our government. I don’t think the NRA has advocated using armed force against them in a direct statement as far as I can recall.

Maybe we should take film maker’s right to make movies with guns in them. Forgive me, I forgot about the First Amendment. To bad they won’t defend my rights to arm myself as I see fit.

What exactly are they trying to say about the NRA anti-gun celebrity list? That the NRA is correct in pointing out the hypocrisy of the anti-gun Hollywood crowd who are more than happy to portray raw violence with guns in their movies and TV shows?

  Check out the NRA enemies list! It’s awesome: http://nraila.org/Issues/FactSheets/Read.aspx?ID=15
  
  Here are just a few enemies: AARP, American Academy of Pediatrics, American Association for the Surgery of Trauma, American Medical Association, American Bar Association, American Firearms Association, American Jewish Committee, American Jewish Congress, Anti-Defamation League, National Council of Jewish Women, Union of American Hebrew Congregations, United States Catholic Conference, United Methodist Church, and so on.
  
  The NRA seems a bit down on Jews and other faiths, but I’m sure just those faiths who preach against violence. I noticed they don’t seem to have a problem with Muslim groups.
  
  You’ll also find Barry Manilow, and Ben and Jerrie’s ice cream. Britany Spears too. Check it out. You may be an NRA enemy too!

  Are ALL these anti-gun actors, ACTUALLY gun free? Do any of them have armed guards or a gun hidden away in their mansions? Because if they do, they have no right to object to ‘little people’ who aren’t so famous having guns.

  It’s a good question, but fortunately the answer is VERY easy.
  
  $$$$$$$$$$$$$. Sigourney Weaver- BIG anti-gun nut- was able to overcome her disdain for guns when hired for the Alien movies.
  
  Money is more important than principle.

Hmmmm. Confusing.

I guess the video was mostly showing stumbling, silly, scared characters with gun.
Their point: yeah!, Oh boy, you should be scared (mock) of these people!

But in this current political climate, wouldn’t a lib be upset even when guns are “trivialised.” In fact, that makes them MORE dangerous because they are not taken seriously for the deadly weapons they are.

I agree with what someone else said- If I didn’t know this was pro-lib, I would have still thought this was mocking them instead of supporting them.

Fail.

  If I didn’t know the source of the video, I’d think it was another from the NRA. The video only serves to highlight the hypocrisy of the anti-gun Hollywood liberals. Terms like “backfire”, “do as I say, not as I do” and “coming back to bite you on the a$$” immediately come to mind.

  Come on folks there are many of these people that are too important to be gunned down like John Lennon. They have to have armed body guards to protect them, are they wouldn’t be able to make public appearances. Look at Mayor Bloomburg who is against guns but has to have 4 armed body guards to protect him from all the little people that want his $$ billions. All these movie stars keep the economy going when they buy their Bengtlys, Jags, Corvetts, Shelby Mutangs, Furr coats, mansions, etc. The little people are a dime a dozen and run up health care cost when they get on Medicare .

Doesn’t this ad prove the NRA’s point? It’s OK to glorify guns, but only if you’re making money.
It would be like Bill Clinton being an advocate for fidelity in marriage.(How many rape allegations)?
Or, if Ted Kennedy was an advocate for alcohol free drinks.(Family money came from bootleg alcohol)
Or, if Gov. Eliot Spitzer prosecuted prostitutes and johns. Oh, wait. He did……………………..
So I guess for liberals anything is OK if they do it, but not for me.

When is the CONSERVATIVE SIDE going to go on the offensive?
Someone start making/producing videos pegging COMMUNISM to the prog party.
Use Stalin, Mao & Mussolini. Use the flags of these tyrannical regimes.
Show the atrocities they were guilty of in graphic form.
Tie them to their past and run these videos non-stop 24/7

  That’s the primary reason why I finally quit the Republican Party: they were too mild-mannered and failed to go for the throat when the situation warranted such action. If you’re going to fight the EVIL of the Left, you have to be relentless, ruthless and show no quarter when you have them backed into a corner; EVIL deserves no less.

June 2005, Supreme Court stated that IT IS NOT THE POLICE OFFICERS JOB TO PROTECT THE INDIVIDUAL. The current flood of Gun Control legislation intends to restrict the size of the magazines civilians can legally own and outlaw so called “Assault Rifles”. Police carry guns for THEIR OWN protection not ours. It is obvious that police officers are more important than the civilians that EMPLOY THEM since we are not going to be allowed to carry the same type of guns and magazines they will carry.
The current morons in office somehow have come to the conclusion that cops, security and federal employees are confronted by totally different criminals and these criminals are a greater danger then any criminal the average civilian would encounter. The Department of Homeland Security is seeking to acquire 7,000 5.56x45mm NATO “personal defense weapons” (PDW) — also known as “assault weapons” when owned by civilians
Keep in mind that these morons in federal, state and local office that are attempting to restrict your ability to protect yourself and family WORK FOR US. As your EMPLOYEES the believe THEY are of greater value then US , their EMPLOYER, by allowing their security and police to carry guns they deem unnecessary for civilians to own.
