I like him. Seems like a normal, level-headed guy and not so much a whacked out Hollywood weirdo.

Not so much as most of those Hollywood liberal types.

I've never met the guy but he does seem like a fella with a lot of common sense.

I didn't realize he was a vet.:patriot:

He's kept his political opinions to himself, for the most part.

Everybody else in the entertainment field seems determined to make it known where they stand on "issues".

For someone who has made their living as being a badass behind the gun with quotes like "Do you feel lucky punk" and "get off my lawn", he sure is anti-gun.

For that reason i try to not support his and his lies.

I didn't know he was a gun control guy? I do know that he loved him some pu$$y back in the day. I think he's got about 7 or 8 kids from a whole bunch of different women.
I'd be interested in some links to his anti-gun statements too. :yesnod:

Sorry, no link. It was a conversation i had with him about 2 years ago on the Warner Brothers lot.

Very nice guy and he admitted that he wasn't back in the day but with his age now that he is for more gun control.

I was shocked to hear him say that especially for the movies he has made and the living he has made from guns.

there were a few other things he said that reaffirmed that he is now for gun control. From what he said and how he said it I know he isn't totally off the ranch crazy with gun control but I don't agree with him.

He's not the worst, but he's not the best either.

Interesting and thanx for sharing.

Important thing is he hasn't broadcasted it so the lib media can't sound bite and quote it. Class right there.

Ok, thanks... that's good to know.

He must be a true conservative, then.

If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one. If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants to take away everyone's right to own one.

I've never met the guy but he does seem like a fella with a lot of common sense.

For example: "How many rights do you want to give to people who are trying to kill you?"

yep, well put.

If he wasn't such an icon Hollywood would have pigeonholed him.

he can give the finger to the establishment ...just like crazy fire guy
