LOS ANGELES — Bruce Willis says he's against new gun control laws that could infringe on Second Amendment rights. The "Die Hard" star also dismisses any link between Hollywood shootouts and real-life gun violence.
"I think that you can't start to pick apart anything out of the Bill of Rights without thinking that it's all going to become undone," Willis told The Associated Press in a recent interview while promoting his latest film, "A Good Day To Die Hard." ''If you take one out or change one law, then why wouldn't they take all your rights away from you?"

Willis' fifth outing as wise-cracking cop John McClane, due in theaters Feb. 14, comes as his action franchise marks its 25th anniversary. The 57-year-old actor will also be seen firing away at bad guys in the upcoming sequels "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" and "Red 2," both due later this year.
But he believes "the real topic is diminished" when observers link Hollywood entertainment with high-profile mass shootings like those last year in Connecticut and Colorado.
"No one commits a crime because they saw a film. There's nothing to support that," Willis said. "We're not making movies about people that have gone berserk, or gone nuts. Those kind of movies wouldn't last very long at all."
Willis added that he doesn't see how additional legislation could prevent future mass shootings.
"It's a difficult thing and I really feel bad for those families," he said. "I'm a father and it's just a tragedy. But I don't know how you legislate insanity. I don't know what you do about it. I don't even know how you begin to stop that."

Thoughts?

I don't think people need to give a smurf what actors think TBH, I hate when something goes down and everyone looks to celebrities like they know some smurf.

I say that he is a voice of sorely needed reason among all of the other Hollywood types. It's nice to know that they're not all idiots.

Quoting Amαndα ♕:" I don't think people need to give a smurf what actors think TBH, I hate when something goes down and everyone looks to celebrities like they know some smurf. "

I think that celebrities have just as much right as anyone else to talk about laws that affect their rights, as well as everyone elses.
as for what he said, I agree. I dont think that more gun legislation is going to help.
As far as I see, this is the reality. If you plan on using a gun illegally, then why are you going to obey the law in how you get your gun, or how you use it?

Sure he has just as much right as anyone else, but Mr. Die-Hard doesn't have an extensive knowledge on legislations or anything. I mean would we be debating what Joe, a plumper in south Carolina thinks? No. The only difference between him and some random guy is that he has followers and a platform to speak to people.

I agree with his opinion but I don't think actors and artists should speak on their opinions as they have the power to sway people for the wrong reasons. Not because he's a well educated man but because he's cool and makes badass movies.

Oh I agree it shouldn't be something that sways people.
I was more debating the topic, then trying to debate that he is right because he is a celebrity, blah blah blah.
I am pretty liberal, bush and Romney can kiss my ass and Obama, well, he isn't on my good side but I don't despise him. (Maybe except for the fact that I can't get more than 28 hours because of Obamacare).
But I think it's only common sense that if a criminal is going to use a gun in an illegal way, that's why aren't exactly interested in obtaining that gun legally.

Well now that Bruce Willis has spoken, this changes everything!
