Kurt Russell DESTROYS Leftist Reporter: ‘Absolutely Insane’ to Think Gun Control Prevents Terrorism

12.10.2015 | News | Alicia Powe |

Actor Kurt Russell in recent interview called the notion that gun control laws can prevent terrorist attacks is “absolutely insane.”

“If you think gun control is going to change the terrorists’ point of view, I think you’re, like, out of your mind,” Russell said in an interview with Jeffrey Wells of the movie blog Hollywood Elsewhere on Monday. “I think it’s absolutely insane.”

Russell explained that he doesn’t “understand concepts of conversation about gun culture” because “we’ve lived with guns since, what, the 7th Century or something?”

The “Escape from New York” star also rejected the idea that people on the no-fly list should be banned from buying guns.

“They can also make a bomb pretty easily. So what?” he said. “They can also get knives and stab you. What are you gonna do about that? They can also get cars and run you over. What are you gonna do about that?” he said.“What are you gonna do? Outlaw everything? That isn’t the answer.”

Russell’s remarks come after his fellow Hollywood colleagues Julianne Moore, Amy Schumer, Kevin Bacon, Laura Dern, iNick Offerman and Sarah Silverman and others joined activists and survivors of shooting incidents in a rally for gun control Wednesday. Many took part in a video to “end gun violence,” in support of Obama’s agenda.
