This will cause much weeping and gnashing of teeth:
Actor Vince Vaughn–Old School, Wedding Crashers, True Detective–told British GQ magazine that Americans ultimately have the right to bear arms in order to resist “the supreme power of a corrupt and abusive government.”
Bye bye to his hollywood career…
Good say. He isn’t scared to say it. I only hope more actors speak out, unlike liam neeson…
Damn, I never thought much of him, it seems I was wrong.
He was doing great until he said this: “It’s well known that the greatest defense against an intruder is the sound of a gun hammer being pulled back.”
(quoted from the article at the link in the OP)
All of a sudden I don’t dislike him as much…
Understanding the basic premise of the second amendment and being an advocate for armed defense doesn’t make you an expert with firearms. You can read similar comments on TOS. Hell I’ve heard firearms instructors say similar things.
Johnny Depp seems to have done ok.

Johnny Depp has fond memories of his first machine gun.
He was just a bitty kid growing up in Owensboro, Ky., but somewhere around age 5 or 6, he began shooting .22s, then moved on to .38s, .44s and .45s. And then he got his hands on a relative’s Thompson machine gun.
“I butted it up against the tree 'cause it tends to ride up on you,” says the 46-year-old actor, who relives the moment, complete with shooting sounds. He begins clapping his hand on the top of his imaginary gun. “My pop came in and grabbed it, so it didn’t go anywhere.” He laughs.
Five bucks says that is an innacurate quote. The interviewer, who likely has no understanding of what was said… and without a grasp of the function of the right to keep and bear arms… probably wrote that based on notes and paid no attention to the inaccuracy.
The reporter probably thought it was accurate enough… since the reporter also probably has no personal knowledge about the workings of a firearm.
I don’t think it’s going to hurt Vince’s acting career a bit. He’s pretty much in the go to hell club.
had to think is this real 
ahhaahah
good for him
people like whoopie think she is special she can carry you are normal you can not though ! at least Vince is for the correct reasons
It might be figuratively, as in the thing that gives pause to some criminals is the possibility of an intended victim being armed.
Great article. He is on to something… We need to ban forks! :jester:
Right up there with racking the shotgun, LOL. But I liked everything else he said.
Have you noticed that in a few of his movies, he is wearing a “don’t tread on me” t-shirt?
That is not by accident.
Vaughn is a Libertarian and has said so in many interviews.
I know people that won’t keep their shotguns loaded because to them the sound of racking it is enough.
That Sound will immediately make a Home Invader go into a Seizure…
Good for Vince Vaughn… glad to see not all folks out of Hollyweird are Libtards.
Nit pick much? What exactly does it accomplish to nit pick one of our own, especially in Hollywood? Have you gotten everything 100% correct 100% of the time? How often have you been interviewed?
Cut him some slack. We already assume you knew better so there was no need to point it out.
I’m going to run out and buy up all of the Blue Ray’s starring Vince Vaughn I can find. We should support these guys and leave the hypocrites, like Liam and Damon, to rot on the shelf.
I’m actually more surprised by Depp, as I thought he was the typical artsy liberal.
Cut back on the coffee, it’ll help.
