Hypocracy, thy name is Hollywood
So I’m late to the party on this blog post, but hey, you might not have seen it either. Good Ol’ Sly has no problem making money acting like pro-gun Rambo guy, but it turns out that he thinks the Second Amendment is apparently a bad idea
“It [2nd Amendment] has to be stopped, and someone really has to go on the line, a certain dauntless political figure, and say, ‘It’s ending, it’s over, all bets are off. It’s not 200 years ago, we don’t need this anymore, and the rest of the world doesn’t have it. Why should we?”
Sylvester Stallone on Access Hollywood, June 8, 1998
Gee, Sly, maybe the reason we are the only democracy to have had only one civil war is because the people are armed and it’s not so easy for the government to just take over since we have the capability of fighting back if we need too.
Yet, even as he is spouting off about how bad the second amendment is, he went and got a concealed carry permit. That’s practicing what you preach now isn’t it?
As far as ‘the rest of the world’, the Swiss require every man of military age who is either on active, reserve or home guard they are required to keep a gun and ammo in their homes for national defense. Guess that means the Swiss, who have one of the lowest crime rates in the world must be doing something right.
Stick to acting, Sly, at least you are halfway decent at it. Just don’t do any Rambo movies since you are so opposed to guns.

From your own quote rotator:
If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.–Samuel Adams
