Agree with you completely Samuel L. Jackson.

On this, he´s right.

The right to defend yourself via gun ownership and the 2nd Amendment crosses all barriers of race, class, sex, orientation, age, political ideology.. you name it. THIS is the wall Obama and his gun grabbing ideologues will run into if they come after the People´s guns. Most people in their heart of hearts have a healthy distrust of government. Good!!

Oh, dear Lord...the world really is ending on Friday! But hallelujah that he said something I can agree with.

The unpowered clock phenomena.

Must be a different Samuel L. Jackson I have heard from in the past.

Sam, you´ve said some pretty nasty, racists things in the past and I hardly agree with you on much, but for once we see eye to eye and I agree with you completely, sir.

Busted clocks are right twice a day.

Sammy´s batting average isn´t that good.

To these lefties, Joe Camel is/was public enemy #1!
Even Joe’s picture sent many of our children off the deep end

Well, he makes millions by being in (a lot, dang near every) movie with a gun. Of course he would say that.

Blind squirrel, meet acorn!

Madison Avenue just shut down. Networks are closing because now everyone realizes advertising is a waste of money. In fact Samuel Jackson has sworn off any more political ads because none of those work either.

If you don´t think entertainment, educates, you are very confused. Thousands of hours of entertainment/education is the reason every dope in America thinks they are some kind of expert about firearms. They don´t have to actually use them or be taught at a range, they´ve seen everyone from the Lone Ranger to Samuel L. Jackson shooting everything from a single action revolver to full auto, two in each fist Glocks. None of that fires up the Travis Bickels of the world and interactive shooting would not make it even worse for that population. No really, it doesn´t feed a hunger in them any more than food commercials make you hungry.

Some twisted citizens like Mr. Jackson perhaps, should never, ever, touch a firearm or a car. Classifying everyone as that kind of person and disarming them only makes more prey for criminals who will always be armed with something. Focus on them, and clean up the ´entertainment´ while you are at it.

Mr Jackson is only speaking out now because he knows this will effect his wallet.

Jackson has no credibility. He is a racist.

It has nothing to do with people not being taught the value of life. It has to do with mental illness - plain and simple - and the difficulty in this country to get an adult hospitalized when his mental status is deteriorating.

I just read that his mom was in the process of trying to get him committed to a mental hospital. But because he didn´t want to go voluntarily, she was having to go through the delaying hoops that our legal system has set up. And that process wasn´t complete when he did this.

Change the laws. Make it easier to listen to mom when she says son is deteriorating and needs to go inpatient. There is no reason under the son not to trust mom´s judgement for 24, 48, 72 hours. If mom is wrong, a psychiatrist will quickly see and discharge the patient. But right now we err on the side of delay. That cost nearly 30 lives in this case to protect his ´right´ to stay out of a psych hospital. Phooey on that.

People aren´t taught to value life? Now what would cause that? Maybe kids growing up knowing that they could have been one of the million plus babies aborted every year for the convenience of the "mothers"? Those aborted kids may be missing from the classrooms and playgrounds but their absence has an impact on everyone.

Every American under the age of forty should be given a tee shirt that says, "I survived Roe v Wade".

We are going to avoid any films featuring this racist like the plague.

he is factually correct although his point on valuing life is about as true as you can get.

people who are not 100% "normal"; people need psychiatric help, are more likely to be affected by violent games and other violent entertainment. the thought of going into a classroom and shooting a roomful of children is not a thought that comes naturally.

factually incorrect

#14´s got it I think. But even with that being the case, I´ll take support for gun ownership from wherever i can get it.

Why should he care? Those were just a bunch of white kids (cracker babies) that got shot down.

Hollywood has cheapened human life.

They just put off his new movie. All of a sudden it effects his pocket book

It has a LOT to do with the lack of respect for and value of life. Yes, mental illness has a lot to do with it too. While we certainly do not want to make it easy for an unstable person to get hold of a weapon, restricting guns more is not the answer. And while most violence in the mass media is not going to send people on rampages, there is a level of hardcore gore, depraved perversity, and sick kinds of violent depictions that goes beyond acceptable that easily can send a twisted mind to act upon his urges. Our society has no standards anymore. We no longer show good triumphing over evil in movies. Instead, we glorify the killers, the thugs, the evil-doers... Good is portrayed as bad or as corny. Bad is portrayed as desirable and cool. Yes, there is social responsibility needed in media & entertainment industries that is sorely lacking. Jackson is right this time on many points. But a lot of entertainment is so bad now that it makes Tarentino and Rodriguez movies look G-rated.

The parasite is partially correct. Can´t you see what he´s doing. He´s trying to save his industry from accountability by dropping guns in the mix.

It won´t be long until Hanks, Weinstein, Clooney and the other deviant morons get their talking points and come out defending their sick industry.

The truth is that a steady diet of unspeakable violence for weak minded people like the dude in CT does result in bad outcomes. Those that insist on empirical data are only kidding themselves for ignoring the effects of extreme violence and how it contributes to violence perpetrated for real. This is not the singular cause for these events. There is family breakdown, no spiritual guide, no friends, no nothing. Sounds familiar.

Just wants to make sure that the same stupid white trash who have been kissing black butt for the last few decades will stay dumb enough to patronize a movie that will mock and eviscerate their own race. The "feel-good" film of the season! Gag!

"Say ´what´ again."

He is an idiot.

While I agree with him on this matter, based on the comments that he made in the last election, I´m pretty sure that he is one of the ´´deranged´´ people that we need to protect society from (at least stop him from ever voting again since he is obviously too insane and racially motivated to be trusted with that great responsibility!!!)

Jackson astutely separates guns from murders, citing the times when guns have been even less restricted and more commonly owned, while murders were far lower.

We´ve never had this much graphic violence in entertainment (at least since Roman Colloseum times). Which gives us no examples to cite where the accused factor was present without the negative consequences, for those factors.

Quentin Tarantino´s recent, rude, accusatory refusals to even talk about the issue cemented his place on my growing never-watch-again list.
