Wow, **Urbanredneck** [got his one functional brain cell in high gear about an hour ago](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20596694&postcount=28) and came up with a couple of devastating arguments exposing Hollywood hypocrisy on gun control! It turns out, first of all, that some major Hollywood celebrities who argue for gun regulation have armed personal bodyguards. Can you believe it? My only slight criticism of this intellectual tour de force from **Urbanredneck** ’s solitary functioning brain cell is that it isn’t original; other cognitively impaired rednecks have previously pointed out the hypocrisy of President Obama in advocating gun control when he was protected by the Secret Service, who have guns! But there’s more. If you follow the Hollywood scene closely, you will soon discover another astounding fact that **Urbanredneck** reveals: some Hollywood actors act in movies where their characters are shooting guns! Incredible but true. Faced with this double-barreled assault of unassailable logic on the hypocrisy of gun control, I’m afraid I have go lie down for a while and try to recover my shattered nerves, and rethink my entire political philosophy. ---

I agree that shooting guns in fictional movies is neither here nor there, but how can you dispute that it is hypocritical for politicians (forget the President, that’s a unique case but let’s say Diane Feinstein for example who had a CCP **herself** ) and actors to oppose gun ownership and concealed-carry laws while they themselves are guarded by private citizens who are carrying concealed guns? ---

One can think the world would be better off with fewer nuclear weapons without advocating that the US unilaterally disarm theirs. ---

It depends. The claim was that these “liberals” supported “gun control”, which could be just about anything. If they simply favor “Extreme Background Checks”, one could presume that folks working for private security firms would be put through those checks and would not be working if they failed. Without a specific policy proposal from a specific person, the argument is just a bunch of mush. ---

If they simply favor “Extreme Background Checks”, one could presume that folks working for private security firms would be put through those checks and would not be working if they failed. Without a specific policy proposal from a specific person, the argument is just a bunch of mush. Right. Somewhere along the line conservatives started equating ‘‘liberals’’ with ‘‘wanting to take away all guns’’ and that is a too extreme position for many liberals. Many just want more vetting, more extensive background checks, and me, personally, I just want convicted abusers not to be allowed to own guns, because the statistical correlation between domestic violence and gun violence is stupid high. So unless the celebrity in question explicitly advocates for banning firearms across the board, there’s no way of knowing what level of gun regulation they support. Then there’s the obvious fact that many liberals want no regulation at all. ---
