Vince Vaughn Talks Guns
Vince Vaughn tells us what he really thinks about guns in this interview with British GQ Magazine. Here’s what he had to say…
Big screen actor and activist Vince Vaughn, most recently starring in the hit series ‘True Detective’ on HBO, recently sat down with British GQ Magazine for a an interview. The discussion touched on a variety of topics from comedy to government, but when the talk turned to guns Vince had plenty so say. He showed a lot of courage with his plain-speak support for gun rights in America with this interview. What do you think?
On the American right to own a gun:
"I support people having a gun in public full stop, not just in your home. We don’t have the right to bear arms because of burglars; we have the right to bear arms to resist the supreme power of a corrupt and abusive government. It’s not about duck hunting; it’s about the ability of the individual. It’s the same reason we have freedom of speech. It’s well known that the greatest defence against an intruder is the sound of a gun hammer being pulled back. All these gun shootings that have gone down in America since 1950, only one or maybe two have happened in non-gun-free zones. Take mass shootings. They’ve only happened in places that don’t allow guns. These people are sick in the head and are going to kill innocent people. They are looking to slaughter defenceless human beings. They do not want confrontation. In all of our schools it is illegal to have guns on campus, so again and again these guys go and shoot up these f***ing schools because they know there are no guns there. They are monsters killing six-year-olds."
On whether guns should be allowed in schools:
"Of course. You think the politicians that run my country and your country don’t have guns in the schools their kids go to? They do. And we should be allowed the same rights. Banning guns is like banning forks in an attempt to stop making people fat. Taking away guns, taking away drugs, the booze, it won’t rid the world of criminality."
Vince has starred in so many blockbuster movies, it’s just silly. Here’s a link to the Vince Vaughn IMDB page.
