| Dustin Hoffman could be appearing on Piers Morgan Tonight in the near future. Piers Morgan caught up with the legendary actor (and recent first-time director) on the red carpet for the Academy Awards, and the two talked about more than just Hollywood. Hoffman revealed that he’s a big fan of Morgan’s, saying he doesn’t often get “starstruck” but felt “extraordinary” to be standing next to the CNN host. At the tail end of a short conversation about the Oscars and Hoffman’s new film Quartet, Hoffman told Morgan “God bless you for what you’re saying about gun control,”

Comments: The hypocrisy of these morons is beyond tiresome. What would they do without their bodyguards?? Oh that´s right, it never applies to them.

A licensed, trained bodyguard having a gun is different from a psychotic person with schizophrenia having a gun. Those supporting gun rights need to suggest solutions to keep guns out of the hands of people who are delusional/psychotic.

suggestion to keep guns out of psychopaths hands: how about following current laws?
but this presupposes that innocent people deserve to have their rights violated because someone else causes problems. Should we ban all cars because some people drive drunk? Should we have the government monitor all peoples internet use because some people use it for illegal things like child pornography?
although the Gun Control advocates are probably just fine with All State Control, All The Time.

A trained permit holding citizens is different from a psychotic person with schizophrenia. So why does the Kneepad Media and Democrat party treat them the same? Or is the difference permit holders are protecting their knuckle-dragging selves and loved ones while bodyguards are protecting a major source of Democrat funding? And the real issue isn’t scary looking weapons in the hands of a nutcase, but any weapon in the hands of a gang, drug dealer or scorned lover/spouse. Keep the guns out of a nut jobs hands and mass murder is prevented once a decade or so. That still leaves the 99%ers out there killing.

#1, every LEGAL NY handgun owner undergoes a months long vetting process, so what? Does that make NY state safer than Vermont? No. Did the rigorous NY process stop Colin Ferguson or the Webster hammer murderer? No. Ferguson went out of state, lied, broke the law there, then traveled back to NY, broke more laws, then shot up a L.I. commuter train. The Webster killer traded drugs for some guns, breaking multiple laws, but since he beat his relative to death with a hammer, laws didn´t really bother him.
Try shifting your focus from the NRA which has tried in vain to get Democrat mayors to enforce Project Exile, to the ACLU and some parole boards which changed the laws to allow maniacs like Ferguson and the Webster murderer to walk among us.
Dustin Hoffman is just another sheeple from NYC. He has somehow many a fortune by pretending to be someone else, so understandably he thinks he is better than gun owners who he thinks are evil. He tried to mimic Buckley when playing Captain Hook, because William F. Buckley was the ´most evil person he could think of.´ Straw Dogs, Dusty.

A supposed “artiste” i.e. he reads scripts well, whose views on any subject are no more valuable than anyone else’s and--given his one year at Santa Monica College--very probably less, wailing about the guns and violence that Hollywood glorifies and presents 24/7, and which, along with sex, forms their chief product line and money maker, and then leaves, likely trailed by an armed bodyguard or two.

#1, until you can suggest a solution to keep cars out of the hands of people who drive under the influence and kill innocent people, you are not allowed to drive a car.
See how that works?
Law abiding citizens of the United States do NOT have to suggest ANYthing in order to justify our Constitutional right to bear arms. We have that right regardless of what criminals or the insane do.

Yep, gun control would have stopped THOSE guys!

Especially ironic when one considers California´s already draconian firearms laws, and the widely reported fact that the area around the Academy Awards was essentially an armed camp, manned by paid bodyguards and taxpayer-funded law enforcement.
If only the commoners had the means and/or were "entitled" to such protection. . .
Anyway one can get Hollywood to donate funding to pay for armed guards for families in South Central or Crenshaw?

In a new editorial, the folks at National Review came out strongly against the immigration plan being sponsored by the "Gang of Eight," a group of Senators that includes Marco Rubio (R-FL), calling the bill "Rubio´s Folly." National Review urges Senator Rubio to vote against the bill he has helped craft. It slams the proposed legislation as, "an amnesty-first, enforcement-maybe program drawn up mainly to reflect the priorities of 11 million citizens of other countries rather than the concerns of more than 300 million citizens of the United States." The editors point out that many of the

A pair of centrist senators introduced a bill Wednesday to soften the employer mandate in President Obama´s healthcare law. The healthcare law requires employers to offer coverage to employees who work more than 30 hours per week. Some employers have said they will reduce workers´ hours to avoid the mandate. Sens. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) proposed a bill to move the threshold to 40 hours per week, saying the employer mandate should match the traditional definition of a full-time worker. "What we´ve tried to do is be reflective of the businesses we work with,"

Marco Rubio made another one of his seemingly endless appearances on Sean Hannity’s program to advocate amnesty legislation. Rubio told Hannity that he has opposed amendments by Republican Senators to improve the legislation’s enforcement provisions because a new enforcement provision will be proposed tomorrow that is tougher and more effective than what has been proposed so far. Rand Paul’s amendment, which Rubio voted against, would have given Congress, not the Department of Homeland Security, the ultimate authority to determine if the border is effectively secure. It would also have included enhanced security measures, such as requiring a

To a remarkable degree, liberalism has been institutionalized as an official ideology, funded by your tax dollars. This editorial in Investors Business Daily explains, in shocking detail, how Obamacare is being used to fund Democratic Party operatives and drive Democratic Party enrollment: The Obama administration granted a whopping $910 million to California to set up its insurance exchange. That money is not for bandages, surgery, nurses and doctors to care for the sick. …Shockingly, the $910 million is slated for bureaucracy, including rich compensation packages for exchange employees ($360,000 a year for the executive director) and contracts for

The popularity of Obamacare has crashed to its lowest level in nearly two years, according to a new Kaiser Family Foundation poll. Kaiser´s monthly tracking poll found that just 35 percent have a favorable view of the health reform being put into place Jan. 1 while 43 percent view it unfavorably. The favorability rating of Obamacare has been worse only once, in October 2011, when it fell to 34 percent. Not only is the June poll bad news for the president as his administration struggles to have the health reform program ready for people to begin signing up

Americans are already wary of the federal government having collected their phone records, but now we have Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., setting up a slippery slope of more and more data collection. Earlier today, a Washington Examiner editorial warned that "if phone records are useful now in stopping terrorist attacks, how long before politicians and bureaucrats decide archiving the entire phone call would be even more useful? How long before the limitations and safeguards now in place are set aside?" Within a few hours, King provided an illustration of precisely what the Examiner editors fear. Responding to a

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is feeling the heat as potential GOP allies are now turning against his immigration reform bill. Republican colleagues who were previously viewed as possible “yes” votes are keeping their distance from the 1,075-page measure. On Wednesday, conservative activists ripped Rubio and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) — both sponsors of the bipartisan immigration measure — at a Capitol Hill rally. The crowd, which was protesting the bill’s effort to put millions of illegal immigrants on a path to citizenship, booed at the mention of Rubio’s name during the six-hour event.

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Likening religious schools to segregation--a racist system that forced blacks to attend different schools and use different facilities than whites in the American South--President Barack Obama told a town hall meeting for youth in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Monday that there should not be Catholic and Protestant schools because such schools cause division. "Because issues like segregated schools and housing, lack of jobs and opportunity--symbols of history that are a source of pride for some and pain for others--these are not tangential to peace; they’re essential to it,"

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

Celebrity chef Paula Deen admitted in a recorded deposition to telling racist jokes, using the N-word, and planning a slavery-themed wedding, according to multiple reports. The May 17 deposition where she made the alleged admissions is part of a $1.2 million lawsuit brought by Lisa Jackson, the former manager of a Savannah, Georgia, restaurant run by Deen and her brother Bubba Hiers. Jackson alleges in the suit that Deen used the N-word at the restaurant and that Hiers sexually harassed her. According to the reports, in the deposition, Deen replied “Yes, of course,”

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
