Sean Connery Speaks Out for Handgun Ban: <br />
Sean Connery has lent his voice to anti-gun campaigners in Scotland, who launched a national cinema commercial on Monday calling for the incoming government to place a total ban on handguns. The commercial is part of a push by the Snowdrop Campaign--formed by parents of the sixteen schoolchildren gunned down last year in the Scottish town of Dunblane--before the country's general elections on May 1. The forty-second spot opens with a man loading a .22-caliber handgun. Connery, the original James Bond, says in a voice-over: "It is said a total ban on handguns, including .22s, would take away innocent pleasure from thousands of people." The man in the film then fires several shots at a human-shaped cardboard target. As the camera moves in for a close-up of the gun, Connery says, "Is that more or less pleasure than watching your child grow up?" The film ends with the words: "Remember Dunblane. Ban all handguns." Three weeks ago, legislation was introduced in response to the Dunblane killings that bans private ownership and possession of all pistols and revolvers except the .22. --[[User:Spades of Columbia|Spades of Columbia]] 18:25, 7 August 2010 (UTC)<br />

Fuck him<br />
:Why?! Why must one of the greatest actors of all times be a liberal?! Damn You Hollywood and your liberal-communist ways! So he thinks it's okay to beat a woman, but thinks guns are bad? - [[User:Kilgore|Kilgore]] 19:31, 7 August 2010 (UTC)<br />

"Liberal-Communist ways?" Wow, offensive to both liberals and communists at once, that's pretty special there champ. I guess it would be bad form to say I think that that level of firearms control is a great idea... - [[User:KBiggins|KBiggins]]<br />
:Liberals and Communists are the same thing. One hides behind the Hammer and Sickel, the other hides behind the false promise of a better world. - [[User:Kilgore|Kilgore]] 21:15, 7 August 2010 (UTC)<br />

::- ''I guess it would be bad form to say I think that that level of firearms control is a great idea...''<br><br>Well, considering the site you're on, I guess you would be right. I still agree with the point that Hollywood forces way too much anti-gun bullshit around, though, especially when what they do is make movies with heavy, sometimes insane amounts of firearms violence.

I will agree with you on that point, it is fairly ironic that Hollywood does turn out so many gun-violence centered films which serve to further the opinion that guns are bad and trees are pretty to those who are either a) easily amused or b) idiots. I should clarify that I have no problem with safe, legal and registered firearms ownership.<br />
Oh and Kilgore... Seriously??? I mean, REALLY? I don't even know where to begin with your statment. - [[User:KBiggins|KBiggins]]</div>KBigginshttps://www.buildlogs.org/index.php?title=Talk:Sean_Connery&diff=310888Talk:Sean Connery2010-08-07T20:30:24Z<p>KBiggins: </p>
