Fox News boldly pointed out Wednesday that actress Jamie Lee Curtis, a proponent of stricter gun laws, plays a character in the upcoming “Halloween” movie who shoots guns.
“Curtis’s on-screen actions stand in contrast to her real-life persona as an advocate for gun control — one of several Hollywood actors who use firearms in their films while preaching against them away from the set,” Fox News’ Louis Casiano writes, adding: “The conundrum applies to other Hollywood A-listers like George Clooney, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Julianne Moore, Sally Field and Jim Carey, who have all made their living portraying gun-toting characters while calling for stricter gun reform.”

Important note to @FoxNews: Anthony Hopkins isn't really a cannibalistic serial killer and Jim Carrey isn't really a pet detective. https://t.co/z6l7Yko1ZY

And Kiefer Sutherland in “24” isn’t a counter-terrorist agent who successfully beats secrets out of terrorists - he and the “terrorists” are actors following a script. Not unlike Faux News parrots.
Wow, desperate much, FUX News? No use pandering to the NRA, they’re broke.
News to Fox; John Wayne played a soldier and a cowboy in several films yet he sat out WWII in Hollywood.
Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen have both played Macbeth, and yet neither are real-life advocates of regicide. See, here’s the thing, you dumb fucks—it’s make-believe. It’s pretend. You could imagine a fairly coherent worldview in which violence in movies isn’t quite so bad, because the people in the movie don’t actually die, but common-sense gun control in real life is good, because real guns kill people for real. If you have an audience that doesn’t get that then boy you have one stupid audience.
