We've heard Vince Vaughn's political prowess before. He's quite the libertarian, and listening to him, he sounds like one that has a pretty sound definition of the constitutionally limited role of government. Sure, I've scratched my head a couple times, with him. Nobody agrees 100%, 100% of the time. I get that. But it is refreshing to hear someone in Hollywood that is not a complete, leftwing, commie nutcase.
Rather than write about it, though, I thought we'd let Vince Vaughn speak for himself, here:
“We have the right to bear arms to resist the supreme power of a corrupt and abusive government,” Vaughn told British GQ. “It’s not about duck hunting; it’s about the ability of the individual. It’s the same reason we have freedom of speech. It’s well known that the greatest defense against an intruder is the sound of a gun hammer being pulled back.”
Vaughn went on to call for armed defense of children in schools, arguing elites have security for their kids and criminals ignore “gun-free zone” laws.
“Take mass shootings. They’ve only happened in places that don’t allow guns,” Vaughn explained, mirroring arguments from noted gun crime researcher Dr. John Lott. “In all of our schools it is illegal to have guns on campus, so again and again these guys go and shoot up these f***ing schools because they know there are no guns there.”
“I support people having a gun in public full stop, not just in your home,” Vaughn said. “Banning guns is like banning forks in an attempt to stop making people fat.”
The author of the piece I am referencing wrote that they were not sure if Vaughn would get a backlash for verbalizing his beliefs. Do scorpions sting?
