I all I know is that he has kept John McClane's screen-used Berettas for his personal use.

Although, in that IMDB link, is a quote: "If you take guns away from legal gun owners then the only people who would have guns would be the bad guys. Even a pacifist would get violent if someone were trying to kill him or her. You would fight for your life, whatever your beliefs. You'd use a rock or tear one of these chairs out of the floor. Hey, maybe I've been watching too many Bruce Willis movies!"

Usually, I think IMDB is reasonably accurate about this kind of thing. Actually, that's a pretty decent quote...

Johnnyappleseed, which movie is that from?
The doorway to freedom is framed by the muskets that stood between a vision of of liberty and absolute anarchy at a place called Concord Bridge--Charlton Heston, 1997

"Be a man of principle. Fight for what you believe in. Keep your word. Live with integrity. Be brave. Believe in something bigger than yourself. Serve your country. Teach. Mentor. Give something back to society. Lead from the front. Conquer your fears. Be a good friend. Be humble and be self-confident. Appreciate your friends and family. Be a leader and not a follower. Be valorous on the field of battle. And take responsibility for your actions. Never forget those that were killed. And never let rest those that killed them." -- Major Douglas Zembiec

I don't think you even need to address the actor's point of view in your contest.
After all, your avatar is a clip from a movie and depicts a certain character.
So the essence of the argument should be whether or not the depicted character is pro-2a.
If both the character and the actor have the same views - well that's a bonus.

Dart, yours is my favorite avatar on the forum.
Last evening, it occurred to me that when a defender of Liberty is called home, their load lands upon the shoulders of the defenders left behind. Just as the Founders did their duty for Liberty, every subsequent generation must continue their work lest Liberty perish. As there is no way for the remaining adults to take on the work of those that die, we must pass the ideals and duties on to the children. -PHenery

No.... no one would be teasing you, Not from WI, they must be serious,  we don't joke around up here.... too cold. :cool2:

They must be engaging you in some "sensitivity training" That is being so rough on you that you aren't sensitive to anything.   **)

As far as comments on Mr. Willis.... sorry but I don't even know the man.  I do know Gy. Sgt. Ermey though and I am positive that he is pro 2A.  But I am not going to put up an avatar of that guy!!!  Wouldn't be enough room for his eyebrows.... just sayin'

Try Dollhouse. Some similarities. But it also got canceled. But at least they gave Joss a season to wrap it up this time.

This has NOTHING to do with certain lady AS enjoying the pic of Bruce Willis, who we can probably best describe as a semi washed up old coot who NEVER shot RM standards .
