This really P's me off. Jodie Foster hates guns. She makes this public information. Then she makes a movie where she protects herself with a gun. Its all about the money.

\I agree with your attitude, but it is easier and smarter to go see movies we want and still make sure the movie we don't agree with doesn't get our money. Just go to one of the threaters that shows several movies at a time, buy a ticket for a movie you do support, and then just go into and see the movie you don't support. Problem solved
In addition, it is probably more productive to just make a lot of noise and threats about how you refuse to spend your money at anti-gun movies, stores, etc., than it is to actually refuse to spend your money there. If you are careful, no one can track the fact that you are indeed spending your money where you claimed you would not. But at the same time hopefully you have caused some worry in the minds of the greedy bast@rds and that alone might cause them to alter their behavior.
In addition to all that, it is a hell of a lot easier to get support from others if you do it the way I described above as opposed to having them possible "suffer" along with you by going without something.
JMHO
By the way, you gave the idea of going to movies way too much thought.
Saw it last night. It surely was not an anti-gun propoganda movie. I have her body count at 7 (6 with Kahr 9 and 1 with crowbar). Will probably encourage more wimmins to buy guns or crowbars.[:D]
Interesting and informative post. But watch out as nyforester may accuse you of "Giving movies too much thought." IT appears he has just learned that many people in the world are hypocrits.
I know you THINK you are quite a smart guy, but obviously you pay NO attention to details. NY NEVER said she made a anti-gun movie, he said she is vocally anti gun and makes movies to which her character uses guns. Same as ol' Arnie. Pay attention to what people say in these discussions and you may not run around with so much egg on your face.
As I told my wife, the best movie she ever made was Bad News Bears.
TR,

Geez! You have me confused with someone who gives a rat's * about what you think. In addition, what are you anyway? A self-appointed defender of people that you apparently believe can't speak for themselves?

No, I am not defending him, merely pointing out the turd in the punch bowl.
My dream involves trying to find SOME way so that strong, independently thinking men that will fight on the same side don't kill each other leading up TO that fight..to the delight of the scurrilous trash that is working to destroy America.
Men will disagree..and independent men will disagree violently, at times.
There ought to be an underlying thread of respect somewhere in that disagreement, I should think...
Just wishful thinking, on my part..I understand.
Some of the most vicious, hateful attacks occur on those of us strongly supporting the Second Amendment..there being absolutely no respect of ANY sort contained within those attacks.
There is no good answer, I expect..because there is no compromise left in some of us.
So it looks like an argument got started maybe for no reason. So for anyone here who I argued with or otherwise offended I am quite willing to stand down. This includes you, freemind.
What surprised me is that she kissed a man, what with her being a *.[:D]

Your thinking of Tatum O'neal.
I went and saw the Bourne Ultimatum this weekend. I have really enjoyed that series as they have employed just about every model of SigSauer 9mm at one point or another.
No offense taken TR.
Your're a good and honest man.
Why do so many people pay attention to actors/actress' views? Think about it. People who "pretend" for a living are suddenly experts? Sad testament to the degraded state of American culture.
They are admired by the 50% or so of the useful idiots in this country, who are mostly but not necessarily liberal, democrat, and stupid. Hollywoody types are the "Royals" that we do not have that are admired by many in places such as England. What are "Royals" anyway, but the heirs of the most badass cruel murdering scum of the ancient times who took power and passed it on to their heirs. Its just that in England everyone pays for their lavish lifestyle and privelege thru high taxes and live in tiny huts with antique plumbing , while here people pay out the ying-yang to see their idols pretend to be what they are not for ridiculous amounts of money, allowing them to live like "royals". I don't go to movies.
And, Highball, thanks for the common sense - I don't write much on the forums, but maybe I need to start. I'm assuming that anyone here fits the following:
people who believe that owning and becoming proficient in firearms is one of the prerequisites for earning and keeping our freedom as spelled out in The Constitution of the United States.
That being said - let's find way to keep getting along.
I think it's a mistake not seeing movies that might help form the opinions of our young (or loved ones, friends, etc.). If we try to "debamboozle" our youth (I am changing careers at age 52 and start substitute teaching next Monday while I finish my teaching certification for High School Math), we won't have the credibility to be effective if we don't really understand where the BS ideas are coming from.
Also, especially if you are talking about an anti-gun movie (I understand that Foster's movie is contrary to her beliefs - thanks for making it, Jody - I'll certainly rent it), I believe that most military strategists would agree that the chances of winning a battle or war are based at least in part on how well you know your enemy. Some big percentage of voters believe in everything Dr. Phil and Hillary Clinton tell them. What they and their friends say can't be ignored if we are to refute the BS.
Of course, all above, IMHO,
Thank you for the kind words...and most welcome to the fire. Drag up a stump and set a spell with us.
Now;

Please don't kid yourself. There are MANY gun owners on this forum..over on General, mainly..that will turn in their guns if ordered to do so by the govenment.
There are MANY more that agree with most of the gun control we have today.
These, sadly, are GUN owners..the people one would expect to take personally overweening governmental controls.
These people are perfectly comfortable begging for permission..rather then DEMANDING their Rights.

Edited because it stretched the page.
Better add Sean Penn to your list also!
You guys are great!
This reminded me of that.
