The Outlaw Josey Wales

-----greggery peck is anti gun-----

Err was...

 

I know Clint is anti-hunting. That really doens't bother me as I personnally know a gun owner who is a vegetarian. He doesn't believe in hunting but has one of the nicest collections around. And I know a few meat eaters with guns who don't hunt because they find it boring.

But I've never heard Clint say anything about guns. I heard one time he said he considered himself a Republican with Libertarian leanings.

I'm sorry I can't. I read it somewhere a year or so ago. It just gets me that someone who has made an un-Godly amount of money making violent gun movies is anti-gun. There was a thread about this over on Frontier Folks a few weeks ago. I knew Redford was anti hunting and I've read that the gov. of CA is also anti-gun. And how much money has he made on his gun movies?

all I could find was in a his bio..he said

I've always supported a certain amount of gun control. I think California has always had a mandatory waiting period, so we were never concerned about it like the rest of the country. Some states didn't have any at all. So I've always supported that. I think it's very important that guns don't get in the wrong hands, and, yes, I would support most of that. I don't know too much about trigger locks. I've never really discussed that with anyone. But I do feel that guns - it's very important to keep them out of the hands of felons or anyone who might be crazy with it.

and..(which means ??? pro gun or pro friend,,)

2005: At the National Board of Review awards dinner in New York City, Eastwood joked that he would kill filmmaker Michael Moore if Moore ever showed up at his home with a camera (an evident reference to Moore's controversial interview with Eastwood's friend, actor/Second Amendment advocate Charlton Heston, for the movie Bowling for Columbine (2002)). After the crowd laughed, Eastwood said, "I mean it." Moore's spokesman said, "Michael laughed along with everyone else, and took Mr Eastwood's comments in the lighthearted spirit in which they were given." Publicly, Eastwood has not commented further.

well, if gun control is keeping guns out of the hands of felons or crazies, then I'm for that as well. Unless of course the government tries to define all Americans as felons or crazies :hmm:

From those statements I don't believe he's anti-gun. He said he supported the waiting period. In my mind he's intentionally making a distiction between waiting to be approved to own a gun, and banning guns.

I don't support the mandatory waiting period, and trigger locks are worthless. At least he didn't make up an opinion like the rest of those clowns in hollywood. "I don't know too much about trigger locks. I've never really discussed that with anyone", that's at least an honest answer. Unlike the ban everything crowd that Rosie O'Donnell runs around with. :cursing:

Gregory Peck is dead, but in his prime he was known to favor fine shotguns. Of course, back in those days the liberals hadn't demonized firearms yet.

 

[redwing]

Mr. Peak was an anti-gun Hollywood Elitist. He spoke up many times back in the 1960s for more gun control. He was like all the rest he wanted to own firearms he just didn't think little people should own them. :cursing:

 

[redwing]

Eastwood in an interview discussing "The Unforgiven". He said he and his fellow actors made this film to show the horrors of gun violence. He went on to say it was the reason for making this movie. What a liar, firearms made this phony what he is. Were it not for the Mdl. 29 Smith&Wesson he would still be a brick layer. :cursing:

eastwood quote from bio...(guess you can read this anyway ya want..)

I've done a lot of violent movies, especially in the early days. My recent efforts, like The Bridges of Madison County (1995), weren't too violent. In recent years I've done less, and, yes, I am concerned about violence in film. In '92, when I did Unforgiven (1992), which is a film that had a very anti- violence and anti-gun play - anti-romanticizing of gun play theme, I remember that Gene Hackman was concerned about it, and we both discussed the issue of too much violence in films. It's escalated ninety times since Dirty Harry (1971) and those films were made.

"the issue of too much violence in films, it's escalated ninety times since Dirty Harry" :hmm: not sure but, thinkin the total level of violence not just the gun play thats risen?? jus an opinion,sure would like to know what exactly was meant by some statements

 

[redwing]

RC you can give him a pass on this if you want. I happened to see the interview. He made it very clear he is for gun control and this was a message movie. The other elitist Hackman is a Hack and is an extreme anti-gunner. :cursing:
My problem with these people is that they have made a living from the misuse of firearms. :cursing:

 

[RC]

yup, but..(gees hornets nest :shocked2: ) I was/am confused on definition of "gun control" and "anti gun"......IS stopping or making it illegal for convicted felons to own/possess firearms.. considered gun control or anti gun....I'm not exactly in favor of "everyone" having a gun..but I'm against anyone telling me, as a law abiding citizen I can't possess one..

my feelings are if antigun you shouldn't be makin a living using guns, even as props period.

 

[rabjr]

It might as well be anti gun because any sane person knows you'll never keep guns from criminals and any gun control measure only further handcuffs law abiding citizens.

I agree 100%. I don`t understand folks that actually believe gun control has any effect on the criminal element. :youcrazy:

 

[redwing]

So true Sgt. Have you noticed we have some Trolls on here that thinks the UN is good and the NRA is bad.
The UN has a twisted Colt in their front yard? But the NRA is a mean bunch just telling lies about the UN.
These Trolls are every where. :hmm:

[David Shaw]

Saw a Biography episode on Eastwood. He said he considered Harry Calahan to be a parody. I've never watched another Eastwood film with the same enthusiasm as before. Far as Josey Wales goes yup it's a good flick. Wouldn't mind owning it.
