Stars to wear orange pins at Oscars in call for gun control
ABC News ^ | March 3, 2018 | Danny Clemens

Less than a month after a school shooting that killed 17 people, several celebrities are reportedly planning to use the Oscars as a platform to raise awareness for gun control.

People magazine reports that a group of A-listers will don orange pins from Everytown for Gun Safety, a nonprofit organization that advocates for gun control and works to reduce gun violence.

Orange is the unofficial color that has come to be associated with various gun-control causes. Everytown sells orange American flag pins on its website, but it's not immediately clear if those are the exact pins that will be worn during the demonstration.

Orange pins. Orange tips on fake guns. Fake protest. Just another Hollywood fake gesture.

a significant number of these “stars” should be wearing orange jumpsuits, not just orange pins.

>>They’re trying to steal another color.

RED.... Communist Utopian Hopes and Dreams
ORANGE. Tide Pod Challenge Survivors
YELLOW. Military Deserters and Traitors
GREEN.. $50,000 Basic Guaranteed Income
BLUE... Global Cooling-Warming-Cooling Fears
PURPLE. Homofascist Pride

The guns in movies should all be required to have orange tips and not use live ammo.

I’d like to see an accompanying piece online or on social media that lists each of these “celebrities “ wearing this orange ribbon with a list of the films they appeared in that glorified gun violence.

F’n hypocrites.

They can wear humongous, giant oranges on their heads for all we care because for the umpteenth year in a row NO ONE IN OUE ENTIRE EXTENDED FAMILY WILL BE WATCHING ANY OF IT!

There was a time when we never, ever missed the Oscars. But since Hollywood chose to became a leftist, racist, anti-American, anti-conservative, anti-Christian, sexual perversion cesspool, propaganda hatefest which chooses the Oscar awards ceremony as its premier platform to display and spiew their utter hatred and contempt for me, my family, America, American CITIZENS and EVERYTHING by way of normal, wholesome traditional Judeo-Christian American values we hold near and dear; the Academy, the "actors" and what they have and now "create" and represent can rot.

Postpone John Wick III; not on your life, John Wick I & II were original, fun and sensational! Can't wait for John Wick chapter III to be released.

P.S. Keanu Reeves is decidedly NOT "anti gun". Just check out his phenominal weapons handling, marksmanship prowess on YouTube.

The renowned celebrity weapons marksmen who have professionally trained him say he's the finest, most proficient gunman and marksman/Hollywood actor they have ever trained. Keanu is also a very humble, down to earth guy who genuinely appreciates his fan base and those who work with him both on and off camera.

While they’re surrounded by armed security, and while they will no doubt release a slew of movies, video games and TV shows full of gunplay and gun violence this year and every year to come to make a buck.

They are complete hypocrites.

It’s to believe law abiding Americans have stood by and allowed these leftist screw worms to push them around like this. It’s just bizarre.

He lives, or once lived, in my neighborhood. Saw him at the San Gennaro Feast one year when he was just becoming real famous and he caught that I recognized him. He’s a nice guy who had his picture taken with the owner of the local tennis table club to put in the window.
