Hunters on Acting

Hunters on Acting

By Kim Hiss

 

     Most of us have probably seen the clip of Ashley Judd speaking on behalf of the Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund to slam Alaska Governor Sarah Palin on the issue of aerial wolf hunting. The video put me in mind of the numerous celebrities who take up hunting- and gun-related issues -- the singer Pink loudly criticizing the British royal family for hunting and wearing furs, as well as personalities Tom Selleck and Rosie O'Donnell famously going head to head on the Second Amendment a few years back. 

 

     Entertainers and hunting. Some celebrities are pro to varying degrees. Others, well... If some actors have such strong opinions about hunting, maybe hunters should form strong opinions about acting -- especially considering hunting seasons are currently winding down while the awards show season is ramping up. Maybe Wayne LaPierre could issue a statement regarding his opinion on method acting, entertainers' salaries, the ethics of Oscars campaigning or challenging the sacred opinion that Meryl Streep is the Second Coming. Now I'm a huge movie fan and regard the performing arts very highly. But the worlds of Hollywood and the hunting blind certainly don't mix very often. -K.H.

I guess people have a right to their own views, but actors live in a world of make-believe. If they could forget their egos and their "political correctness" and just try something outdoors-ish, they may change their minds. They are too worried about their fan base.

Isn't it ironic how Hollywood hates guns and violence but promote it with every other movie. They not only promote it but make heros out of the characters using guns and violence. The reality is the NRA is the number one voice for gun safety in the country.

Tom Selleck is soooooo cool.

I would like to tell all the anti-gun anti-hunting and fishing celebrity actors and singers to shut up and act or shut up and sing as appropo.
The gitls on The View today talked about the Ashtray Judd video (and showed it again). At least they did point out our side. God bless Elizabeth Hasslebeck. She's on our side with most issues.

to be honest, that little debate got nowhere.

he let her say that guns kill people. no they don't. guns never spring legs or trigger fingers and kill someone. a gun can only kill someone if it is in the hands of a fool or someone who intends to do so.

also, her side essentially wants guns banned. or at least some of them.

when you ban or restrict guns, you take them away from law-abiding citizens, and you leave them to the non-law-abiding citizens. this is a bad situation.

the two most important points one can make in any sort of gun laws debate. neither mentioned here.

actors are stupid.

Seems to me that Tom came off being the more sensible of the two in that "debate".

Regarding the above endorsement of Ted Nugent...as far as I am concerned, he comes off as a jackass. Just my opinion, I don't see him doing us hunters any favors by setting a respectable example.

It wasn't all that many years ago when actress' and actors walked the red carpet draped in real furs. Then the anti's starting toting spray paint and the attitudes changed. Now they wear revealing clothes and if there is enough fabric to hang it, the logo is GUNS KILL.
It is all about the ratings and where they will fit in the social loop if they say the right thing to the right people. It is all about the drama.
I prefer to watch my drama unfold from a tree or a box blind. I hunt and am damn proud of it.
Entertainers need to stick to doing what they do best and leave the rest of us to do the same.
Ted Nugent rocks and I am glad all of us hunters have him on our side.

I was so disappointed to see Ashley Judd's video clip. And after reading this post and all the "right on" comments, which I totally agree with, I had to reconsider my initial reaction to her clip. I'm disappointed because:
- I had given her credit for having a head on her shoulders and now I lump her in with all the other noisy, uninformed Hollywood types.
- I can now add her to the list of one more talented actor who has ruined it for me at the movies and for whom I have lost respect.
- This will have an impact on her career. Don't they understand that a great majority of the US population may "vote" with their feet and pocketbooks?
- Those who have greater influence with the media because of their celebrity status, are also having a disproportionate influence over the way our young people see the world. Few will learn the real facts on this issue - they'll just react emotionally to that one brief clip of the helicopter chasing down the wolf. They'll never see an alternative video of a pack of wolves attacking the calf.

We all have the right to our opinions. The problem with Hollywood is that they tend to bring the muscle of publicity with them, and that publicity is oft wrapped in politics. Actors are no different than many Americans in that they do not bother to educate themselves on issues or circumstance. The hollywood culture that they live in is also very critical of actors or actresses speaking out on conservative issues. The old saying, "you'll never work in this town again," is for real. This keeps many who enjoy the shooting sports quiet for fear of loosing their lively hood. An example of which is Charlton Heston after he as a stock holder berated Time Warner for the "Cop Killer" song. Probably the greatest American actor of all time was black listed and forgotten.

American's do vote with thier feet and their wallets. The problem is that we who enjoy the shooting sports and consumptive past times are dwindling in number, we are not recruiting young people into the fold and worst of all we are largely apathetic about our cause.

Selleck was right in saying that the problem with the misuse of guns is a social moral issue. It isn't the guns, it's the people and the liberals in Hollywood need only look in the mirror to see where that issue came from. The old addage you reap what you sow fits with the trash comming out of the big studios. Don't get me wrong, I like to be enterained, but pine for the days of good clean fun like that depicted in Mayberry. Will Smith with one bullet in his pocket, now there's a picture :)

what most people tend to not ubderstand is that almost all of the mass shootings that have happened were not done with so called assault or automatic weapons. i don't believe that the shooting they were referencing happened with automatic weapons either. an auto in the hands of someone inexperienced with handling one is far less dangerous than a semi-auto in the hands of someone with evn a little experience. that is just another way for the antis to attack the second ammendment. the constitution doesn't specify what firearms we are able to own, just that we have the right to own them. it does not say anything about progress. rosie would be the first person to run to people like us if this country had to defend its own soil.

Rosie O'Donnell exposed herself as an ignorant, uninformed ideologue in that little short, and Selleck did his best to try to divert her onto subject. He's to be given credit, considering that he wasn't led to believe that the appearance would require him to educate a person who has steadfastly refused to be educated.

Celebs -- some of 'em like firearms and some of 'em don't. Rosie is just like any other anti- full of baloney and standing firmly on a rock of false assumptions and unsubstantiated beliefs. The only difference between her and any other loud mouthed anti is that she has a show.

why are people like rosie pushing for more gun laws when someone can commit murder and be paroled 4 years later? murder is permanent and so should the punishment. just because the murderer gets out of prison, doesn't mean the person or their family will suddenly be ok. don't enact more laws until you start enforcing the one's we already have! anyone care to venture a guess to how many murders are comitted with a gun as opposed to other means? how about violent crimes all together. it's on the fbi crime statistics report for the last several years. interesting to read.

We have rights, but we don't use them like we should, we allow others to dictate what happens and then we complain about it. If we really want change to take place or our opinions to matter we must make our opinion known.
