It’s not in bed with me, though; it’s in a safe location. I’m fully trained and I’m an active member of a gun club. I’m definitely pro-gun.”
James Hetfield, the lead singer of the heavy metal band “Metallica” …..is a gun owner and member of the NRA.

Joe Mantegna, star of the TV show ” Criminal Minds” is a competition shooter and a vocal supporter of gun rights.
“I’ve shot pretty much every handgun caliber you can think of, and the .45 ACP is perfect. It has mass, the recoil is a little more, you get a lot of push, but you don’t get a lot of torque. And it’s just the aesthetics of it—it’s old school—it’s what I carry on “Criminal Minds.”
Joe Perry, guitarist for Aerosmith admits he has always been fascinated by guns and…… is not a fan of gun control.
“It is definitely a difficult issue and the bottom line is the Constitution is what it is, and I stand by everything that is in it. Right now, some of the statistics show that some of the safest places in the country are places where law-abiding citizens are allowed to have firearms, and the crime rates are low.”

“America is a country founded on guns. It’s in our DNA. It’s very strange but I feel better having a gun. I really do. I don’t feel safe, I don’t feel the house is completely safe, if I don’t have one hidden somewhere. That’s my thinking, right or wrong.”
Tom Selleck is best known for his acting roles in the Tv series “Magnum PI”, and “Blue Bloods” and movies “Quigley down Under”, “Lassiter” and “3 Men and a Baby”. He is an NRA board member and has appeared in a number of NRA ads.
“Do you really think the Second Amendment is in the Constitution to guarantee hunting and target shooting?”
Gary Sinese is well know for his roles in “Forest Gump”, “Apollo 13” “Truman”, “Mission to Mars” and his TV role in “CSI-New York”.
“It’s a Second Amendment right and that bad guys aren’t going to turn their weapons in so good people need to be able to protect themselves.”

“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.”
Bruce Willis, best known for his acting roles in the “Die Hard” films and “Reds” , is a gun owner and a staunch defender of the Second Amendment who has stated that he does not want to see any change in gun laws.
“Everyone has a right to bear arms.

You’d use a rock or tear one of these chairs out of the floor.”
