New Video Mocks Celebrities' 'Demand A Plan' Gun Control PSA

Many celebrities have spoken out about gun control. Some of the biggest names in Hollywood have even stepped up and offered to use their fame to change the current gun laws. Jennifer Aniston, Jamie Foxx, Will Ferrell, Beyonce, Chris Rock, Steve Carrell, Ellen Degeneres, and others have appeared in a video called "Demand A Plan."

While it is perfectly acceptable for famous folks to trade on their celebrity status to promote causes they deem to be important, it has also been noted that many of the people in the video have earned fortunes by appearing in movies and TV shows that promote guns and gun violence.

A new video is quick to point out this hypocrisy. The alternative campaign called "Demand A Plan? Demand Celebrities Go **** Themselves!" has surfaced on the web. It uses a combination of clips from the actual "Demand A Plan" video and intercuts it with violent scenes from virtually every single star in the PSA.

Watch it, below (caution: violent themes and images):

For the record, the "Demand A Plan" campaign is an effort from "Mayors Against  Illegal Guns" and the San Francisco-based Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. Both group's websites host the 1:22 video calling for American citizens to contact their elected officials and demand action on gun laws.

From Demand A Plan's website, here are their three specific requests regarding gun laws:

• Require a criminal background check for every gun sold in America
• Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines
• Make gun trafficking a federal crime, including real penalties for “straw purchasers”

It should be noted that every state in the union requires a criminal background check when a licensed firearms dealer sells a gun, any gun. The first item on the list seems tied to a push requiring background checks on private gun sales and those made at gun shows.
