Finally, A Celebrity That Supports Firearms

According to FoxNews, the actor Vince Vaughn was in an interview when he was quoted saying, "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." He also stated that, "It's the same reason we have freedom of speech." Clearly, Mr. Vaughn is a man who knows what he is talking about. The actor had told the interviewer that, "It's well known that the greatest defense against an intruder is the sound of a gun hammer being pulled back." Vaughn explained that he also supported the idea of firearms protecting students in schools. He had clearly done his homework, as he explained all mass shootings occur in places that ban the legal carry of handguns. He also states, "Taking away guns, taking away drugs, the booze, it won't rid the world of criminality." Vaughn understands that banning something does not cause it to go away. Just look at the speakeasies and gang activities of the Prohibition Era in the 1930s. This "Taking away guns" as Vaughn had stated is exactly what was attempted after the Sandy Hook tragedy and other school shootings. There was even a lawsuit filed against Bushmaster, the company that produced the firearm that was used. However, what these plaintiffs fail to realize is that Bushmaster did not use the firearm, a madman did. Also, they do not understand that the tragedy would not have happened had there been an individual carrying a firearm to defend the children, whether it be private security or the teachers. If firearms are shown more often in the media when used to save the lives of innocents, maybe more individuals would share Vince Vaughn's and my beliefs.
