Title: Kurt Russell Drops Massive Truth Bomb About Gun Control

'If you think gun control is going to change the terrorists’ point of view, I think you’re, like, out of your mind.'

In a recent interview for Hollywood Elsewhere, Kurt Russell shut down a reporter’s argument in favor of gun control.

The conversation started out civil enough, focusing on Russell’s performance in the upcoming Quentin Tarantino film “The Hateful Eight,” but things took a turn when reporter Jeffery Wells described guns as a “metaphor that disenfranchised white guys need… [to] feel good about themselves.”

“If you think gun control is going to change the terrorists’ point of view, I think you’re, like, out of your mind,” Russell said. “I think anybody [who says that] is. I think it’s absolutely insane.”

Allowing people to carry guns for protection would curb violence more effectively than gun control because it forces violent individuals to think twice before physically harming someone else, he explained.

“If I’m a hockey team and I’ve got some guy bearing down on me as a goal- tender, I’m not concerned about what he’s gonna do — I’m gonna make him concerned about what I’m gonna do,” Russell said.

The tension between the two is clearly palpable in this transcript:

Russell: They can also make a bomb pretty easily. So what? They can also get knives and stab you. Whaddaya gonna do about that? They can also get cars and run you over. Whaddaya gonna do about that?

Wells: They didn’t kill the people in San Bernardino with cars.

Russell: But they’ve killed others that way, haven’t they? Yeah, yeah. Whaddaya gonna do? Outlaw everything? That isn’t the answer.

Wells: Just put some controls…

Russell: Put some controls? What, so the people, so the people who want to defend themselves can’t?

Wells: No, not so you can’t, just so the idiots can’t get hold of them [so easily], that’s all.

Russell: You really believe they’re not going to? Are you serious about that? What good will that…? Oh my God. You and I just disagree.

Good for Kurt!

History has a way of repeating itself and the 2nd Amendment was drafted to protect against a tyrannical government, nothing is easier than gathering up a whole neighborhood unopposed then shipping them off to be gassed in a chamber, I'd rather fight then submit myself and my family to that horror, victims have the most horrific look at their time of death, and fingernails ripped clawing over people to get fresh remaining air, do you think about them when you drafted your questions..the pro's and con's? A lot of early Americans died, sacrificed their lives so we can have the Bill of Rights Democrat-Communists wipe their asses with. (1 image)

Yep, Donnell is a dem commie at heart. It's those New York Values, like Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Bernie Sanders, and Chuck Shumer.

Birds of a feather.

Not only is Kurt a 1st class actor, the man is highly intelligent !!! Light years ahead of his fellow actors in Hollyweird !!! He is one actor it would be an honor to meet, and have a drink with !!!

That's because he's one of us. I met Kurt and Goldie when we lived in New Mexico. They used to eat in our favorite restaurant.

“If you think gun control is going to change the terrorists’ point of view...

No, but it should make it more difficult for some pubescent, Jr-HS numbnut to get a hold of an AR-style semi-auto assault weapon with a 30+ round magazine and blow away half his class just because the teacher gave him a D in algebra or Peggy-Sue slapped him silly when he tried to cop a feel and all the other kids laughed at him...

Get rid of the semi-auto rifles & hi-capacity magazines... or Tax the shit out of them just like fully auto machine guns... That won't affect the true sportsmen who put Bambi's venison on the dinner table...

Sorry but I have to call it, this is BULLSHIT. Violent individuals don't think of consequences and they are not deterred because someone may be carrying a weapon they may, or may not, know how to use effectively. If an armed police force does not deter these individuals why does an armed population deter them?

If they're not deterred, pull the trigger. Dead is the greatest deterrent.

by all means remove violent individuals from society permanently, never suggested this isn't the way, but don't think it is a deterrent

Spoken like a true member of the Democrat-Communist Party. First you take away this and then that and then you hunt down every legally owned gun in the country. Stalin and Hitler knew that gun control works just fine.

You know I wonder why some folks always go for the take/get rid of guns scenario instead of the take care/get rid of the whack jobs who use them scenario?

(I know the answer to that question but are you willing to say it/admit it?)

It's because you can't do anything to the whack jobs until AFTER they kill innocent victims...

See? That was a lot easier than you thought it would be..

Plenty of common sense if you're not a gun grabber or a left wing big goobermint type.

Do you mean like you have in the UK? Or, like Nancy Pelosi and her far left cronies who won't be satisfied until only the criminals and the goobermint are armed.....to the teeth.

Hitler and Stalin were great proponents of gun control. They knew it worked.

No like they have here no automatic or military style weapons, registration, import controls. It doesnt mean people cant own guns for legitimate purposes

No it's because it would seriously cut into the Democrat voter base hence the reason behind gun control, if you put a substantial part of their base in jail they can't get elected.

That was easy wasn't it...
