1. Sadly, the pleas of all the bleeding hearts in all the towns, hamlets, and cities across the land

would likely be sufficient to influence even one true-believing gun worshiper in the Congress to vote for sensible gun legislation designed to stop the rampant slaughter and carnage which have become part of our culture and heritage.

[Tansy_Gold]

2. Sufficient? Or insufficient?

[indepat]

21. Oops, insufficient. Sorry to all who might have read this stupendous blunder!

[Tansy_Gold]

22. At least one of us was pretty certain what you meant. ;-)

[indepat]

23. Thanks for realizing this.

[loudsue]

3. That's a beautiful message. They need to put more of their money behind it,

because THAT is what the NRA does.

Which is incredibly sad for this country.

[mucifer]

4. Well lots of people in that ad are in the 1% they have the money.

[mwrguy]

6. At least one multi-billionaire in that video

If they all stepped up like Bloomberg then we could get some things done.

[FormalObserver]

5. We have to do what they say

because they're celebrities, right?

[MyNameGoesHere]

9. Yes

Much like the brain addled infomercial entertainers and whining minority that make up the gunnutery crowd. Only these are better, and you must listen to them. But only you, because you asked. If you need help with any other decision in your life let me know, I will guide you so you don't feel lost.

10. We should stick with your plan and listen to Ted Nugent

He's not a celebrity.

Enjoy your stay.

[FormalObserver]

11. I've been here for a while

and don't plan on leaving. I like this place.

[FormalObserver]

12. BTW,

What plan do you assume I have?

[billh58]

15. Just wake up

and kick the dirt off did you?

[FormalObserver]

29. No response

Typical. Just assume and assume and when you get called out, crickets.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

30. Okay, why don't you enlighten me?

I'd be utterly fascinated to hear your plan.

[FormalObserver]

32. Assuming again

that I have a plan, tssk tssk.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

35. Yeah....

I've assumed correctly.

Bye.

[FormalObserver]

36. I offered

as much of a plan as the celebs did in that ad.

[drynberg]

14. NO, we need to act because our children are being mowed down by guns and madness.

[Skittles]

27. no, only Fox News fans think like that

[FormalObserver]

28. Exactly

So why have these celebrities do this ad and not just some regular people? If "only Faux news people think like that" then I guess it doesn't matter who delivers the message, so why celebrities?

[Skittles]

31. just curious but

what is wrong with celebrities speaking out? They do have rights you know, the same as do REGULAR PEOPLE.

[FormalObserver]

33. Not saying they don't

Not saying there is anything wrong with them speaking out.

[Skittles]

34. I have found that many people who detest "celebrities speaking out"

have no problem with it when it is Ted Nugent or Arnold Schwarzenegger doing the talking

[Nanjing to Seoul]

7. This coming from an industry that glorifies nihilism, narcissistic behavior, self-interest

drugs, sexism, shallow attitudes about beauty and violence in most of its productions.

When these same people vow and stop making, producing and starring in splatterfests, gorefests and when the musicians stop making use of the word "bitch," the "n-bomb" and glorifying their own avarice, vice and worship of the all-mighty dollar, I will believe the things they say.

Until then, their message is nice. . .but hollow.

[Duckhunter935]

13. I agree

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

16. Sounds like a right-wing talking point straight from FOX News nt

[Nanjing to Seoul]

17. Breaking into the industry as we speak. Agent is finally working. Met alot of people from the

industry through him.

Everything I said is reality. . .not a talking point. When I told by a record producer "there is no underage in the business," i stand by my previous statement.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

18. Wait a second....

....you just went on a rant about how awful everyone in Hollywood is, and you're an actor/entertainer/singer?

Ok, that IS funny. Ya got me.

[Nanjing to Seoul]

19. writer. and you have to hear the things the entertainers say.

[caledesi]

20. Good analysis! nt

[Tumbulu]

8. I am all for taking action

But do not find this add compelling. Sorry, just my 2c.

[geefloyd46]

24. I still never understand why a group of people who have been successful at something...

in this case the entertainment industry. Then because they have been successful they are excluded from even speaking on the issues of their day. That don't really even effect their careers. Maybe these people are just tired of watching young kids get massacred or I could be wrong.

[Left Coast2020]

25. Sadly, Congress and the NRA don't think its enough.

They insert earplugs and blinders when this comes on.

[applegrove]

26. Jon Stewart did a bit tonight on gun violence

that really put it all into perspective.
