US film director Quentin Tarantino admitted he was against the use of automatic weapons, but defended a citizen’s right to own a gun, in an interview published in German newspaper Frankfurter Rundschau.
“Initially I think that everyone has the right to own a gun. I myself have one because I live alone in a large house and want to be able to defend myself,” the 49-year-old director said.

So will Harvey Weinstein confiscate Quentin Tarantino's gun or let him keep it?
At least we cannot say Tarantino is a hypocrite on this issue. Unlike Matt Damon, who hates guns but isn’t above taking a seven-figure salary to use them in films.
For some strange reason, Tarantino feels compelled to explain why he owns a gun, when no explanation is needed. He owns a gun - or guns - because he has the right to. No more need be said.
His remarks aren’t of any value in the 2nd Amendment crisis.
Even a broke clock can be right once a day, I guess. Still doesn’t change my opinions of a lot of Tarantino’s peer group though.
I own a broken clock. It is right twice per day.
Unless your broken clock looks like this:
At least he’s smart enough to know that he’d be ripped for criticizing firearms — after the putrid he imoviess responsible for.
Big name celebrity endorsements. I have no use for them. Tomorrow they could “renounce” their previously held beliefs, inflicting ever greater damage to resounding applause from the Left: “How sensitive! Such soul searching!” And, still have armed protection in the form of “rented” guns carried by their bodyguards. They will always have that to fall back on. We don’t.
Asking someone to explain why they need a gun/weapon is like asking somoene to explain why they need air, food or water.
All are necessary to protect and sustain your life. We do not live in a lollipop-unicorn world.
Society is a thin veneer that covers up the reality that the entire world is third-world or worse.
Is there a bigger DOUCHE BAG than Harvey Weinstein. I wonder if he would have been one of the Jews that helped the NAZI’s during the holocaust if he were there at the time. Hmmmmmm.....
For liberals, like Weinstein, it’s not about ‘gun control’, it’s about WHO gets to ‘control the gun.’................
Don’t blame the fish, blame the pond in which he has to swim....
I have a very misguided, liberal stepson. He and his mom were discussing “high-class” movies one day. To try to enter the discussion I mentioned, “Pulp Fiction”.
My very arrogant stepson piped up, “I would NEVER, ( His emphasis, not mine. ), watch a Quentin Tarantino film! There is much-too-much gratuitous violence!”
I mentioned that I had it on DVD.
He normally goes to sleep at 9 P.M. when he visits. That night he stayed awake after the wife and I went to sleep. I made a mental note.
The next morning I woke up and my wife mentioned that he had stayed awake for the specific purpose of watching “Pulp Fiction”! Can you say, “typical, liberal hypocrite”? I think that he meant that he would never PAY to see a Quentin Tarantino film but because he got to see if free then that was OK. ;-)
Pulp Fiction is not nearly as violent as reputed.
Not as violent as the blood baths in Kill Bill V1-V2.
Like their banker George Soros did?
No, I think he is right to explain why owning a gun is just commonsense.
Yes, they are. Stupid libs think the 2nd Amendment is about hunting.
“Pulp Fiction is not nearly as violent as reputed.”
I have the unpopular view that “Pulp Fiction”, beyond the storyline, is a religious movie about redemption, in a left-handed way.....specifically, the character played by Sam Jackson.
That describes one of the basic liberal worldview assumptions to a T.
broke clock is right twice a day
