Hollywood’s evolving take on gun rights

In 1999, back when the Brady Campaign was upfront about their goals and called themselves Handgun Control, Inc., they ran a full page ad in USA Today entitled “Open Letter to the National Rifle Association.”

The letter called for a nationwide “one handgun a month” rule, waiting periods for handgun purchases, an end to private sales, and a complete and permanent ban on so-called “assault weapons” as well as normal capacity magazines.

Signing this “open letter” were dozens of Hollywood stars and media personalities.

But a new era appears to be dawning in Hollywood, with many stars voicing their support for gun rights.

Good read, Thanks! That Angelina won a lot of points with me. I'd like to see that shooting range. Is the range worth 400,000.? My guess is yes. I imagine their house would be considerably more. I wonder what a 400,000.00 private range looks like.

P.S. Googled it, the range is worth 400 k., complete with an armory and pop up human (looking) targets.

Brad Pitt being pro-2A surprised me as well. Another surprising pro-2A celeb is Ben Affleck. Never would have thought considering his association with anti-gun tards such as Matt Damon.

I might be going off topic here, but can we really still consider Ben Affleck a "celeb"? :D

Kudos to Ice-T for mentioning the real reason for the 2A.

Guns are popular right now, look how many shows are on TV dealing with gun sales, gun shooting, Prepping etc.
