"Vince Vaughn: We should allow guns in schools"

Banning guns is like banning forks in an attempt to stop making people fat. Taking away guns, taking away drugs, the booze, it won’t rid the world of criminality,”
“I support people having a gun in public full stop, not just in your home. We don’t have the right to bear arms because of burglars; we have the right to bear arms to resist the supreme power of a corrupt and abusive government. It’s not about duck hunting; it’s about the ability of the individual. It’s the same reason we have freedom of speech. It’s well known that the greatest defense against an intruder is the sound of a gun hammer being pulled back,” Vaughn said, adding that mass shootings have generally happened only in places where guns are not allowed.

The people committing mass shootings are “sick in the head” and “do not want confrontation,” he said.

“In all of our schools it is illegal to have guns on campus, so again and again these guys go and shoot up these f——ing schools because they know there are no guns there,” Vaughn added.
I suspect a lot of movie stars hold these subversive ideas about guns, but they dare not speak out. I was impressed with this tweet yesterday...

Go Vince Vaughn. Hope you keep getting work now that you've basically imploded in the eyes of Hollywood. Well, Brad Pitt could always be your wingman.
