Sean Penn and Charlize Theron seem to be getting awfully serious.

On Saturday evening during the Help Haiti Home Gala in Beverly Hills the 53-year-old actor hinted his 38-year-old lady love of several months changed his mind about his the astonishing number of gund he owns - 65 in total - per E!

In his speech the Mystic River actor said 'a strong woman who happens to be from South Africa' convinced him to destroy the fire arms.

'Sean stated during his speech, 'Being provoked by this aforementioned strong woman and considering how liberating of bulls--t and ugliness it would be not only get rid of the guns I have in the continental United States but also to destroy them, Jeff Koons and I had a chat the other day,' Penn said.

He added, 'The highest bidder gets every single one of my guns put in the hands of this iconic artist and sculptor…Koons will decommission [and] render inactive all of my cowardly killing machines.'

I think that Mr Spicoli's words need no commentary.

I have in the continental United States

Uh-huh...And the OTHER continents? What about Alaska?

[Red_Devil 232]

I think the guy was just afraid she would use one or a few of them on him!

[chris37]

I’d rather have my guns than Charlize Theron.

Furthermore, I think I’m happier with my dog than I would be with Charlize Theron.

[Bob]

Let me guess — His killing machines were so cowardly that not a single one of them had ever gone out and killed anyone. What kind of killing machine is that to have anyway?

[South40]

But he'll continue to make his millions by using guns for violence.

That boat is over-loaded. Where’s the Coast Guard when you need them?

[Slings and Arrows]

Ms Theron should demonstrate her principles by taking an unarmed stroll around Johannesburg.

[umgud]

Penn is a punk.

[Pontiac]

I wonder if he is going to put a Gun Free Zone sign on his front gate.

I wonder if he will also disarm his body guards. After all he wouldn’t want his body guards to be considered ‘cowardly’.

Laughing their *sses off?

[Billthedrill]

Turn in your man card, Sean. It was only on loan anyway.

[South40]

I have in the continental United States Uh-huh...And the OTHER continents? What about Alaska?

I hear he is fond of Venezuela.

[Slings and Arrows]

Turn in your man card, Sean. It was only on loan anyway.

I think Madonna got it in the divorce.

[Dr. Thorne]

Woo Hoo! Hey, criminals! Sean Penn (rich white liberal) is unarmed!

[txhurl]

Does Charlize have lots of concealer? Certainly she knows she’s gonna need it sooner rather than later.

[Charles Martel]

I saw that “continental United States” limitation, Sean. So, let’s talk about your possessions in other parts of the world.

[Dogbert41]

Sad to think how many may be NFA firearms that will be removed from circulation?

And when he gets dumped again, he’ll just go write a check for another hundred or so firearms...
