Rambo’s Sylvester Stallone supports gun control (New movie FLOPS!)
Washington Times AP ^ | 2/2/13 | Ryan Pearson

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Sylvester Stallone says that despite his “Rambo” image and new shoot-em-up film “Bullet to the Head,” he’s in favor of new national gun control legislation.

Stallone supported the 1994 “Brady bill” that included a now-expired ban on assault weapons, and hopes that ban can be reinstated.

“I know people get (upset) and go, ‘They’re going to take away the assault weapon.’ Who … needs an assault weapon? Like really, unless you’re carrying out an assault. … You can’t hunt with it. … Who’s going to attack your house, a (expletive) army?”

A LOT of Stallone movies from the 80s and early 90s made the point that you need guns to defend yourself. WTF is he thinking with these comments?

Sly is so thick he says these things without a hint of irony.

No shit, eh? No shit. :D Love the movie. It’s only gotten better as time has gone on. Eventually it’ll be in the library of congress.

It could happen. They already have an army of bureaucrats on our backs.

Do what is right.
This guy gives retarded lizards a bad name.
Do what the leftards try to do to everybody they disagree with.
DESTROY HIM ECONOMICALLY.
SOCRCHED EARTH. FORCE HIM TO EAT MAC AND CHEESE AT THE MISSION.
We are at war. This 4F fraud like the rest of these freaks in Kaleeforniya have no clue.
Most of them are so dumb and stoned they can’t even read their lines.
Remember what Shakespeare said about actors: “Thieves, whores, and mountbanks.”

“We’re police officers, we’re not trained for this kind of violence.”

We tried to watch (Netflix) the film Expendables 2, but there was so much over the top vehicle and weapon combat (plot absenteeism) at the beginning of it, we sent it back unwatched. This statement by Stallone is sheer hypocracy given how he makes his money. Apparently the Hollywood crowd are okay with using weapons and violence to make money (victims strewn everywhere), but not for citizens armed to protect themselves in actual real life criminal attacks.

Cities like Chicago show what anti-gun laws have done in reality: they've armed thugs and criminals and make taxpayers victims of violence as a result. When there is no fear of a potential victim, a thug or criminal thrives. Giant scissors aren't going to cut it (sarc).

I support banning Performance Enhancing Drugs for washed up actors.........oh wait......

BTW, doping to build up muscle tone to that extent only impresses other men and lowers your testosterone levels to that of a prepubescent girl........sounds pretty gay to me Sly. Just saying.

*Chuckle* Everytime I see the name ‘Vic’ I instantly think of Vic Morrow.

I love him. He was a great actor who was taken tragically and far too soon.

I absolutely love and adore Bob Gunton,the actor who played the hard-ass Chief George Earle.

He’s a great actor and a very,very nice man. He’s a very humble guy which is rare for someone in his profession.

Here in Florida the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office had a gun turn-in;the people who brought in their unwanted guns received $75 and tickets to a Tampa Bay Rays game and a Tampa Bay Lightning game.

Saw/heard Stallone some years ago voicing personal and political views and opinions; he spoke with some sense at that time. Guess now that hes older and needs to work in hollywood he has gone to the dark side
