“First off, my thoughts and prayers and my heart are with the deceased, and certainly with all of France, yesterday. I’ve got a lot of dear friends in Paris,” the 62-year-old said.

“There’s too many {expletive} guns out there,” he continued. “Especially in America. I think the population is like, 320 million? There’s over 300 million guns. Privately owned, in America. I think it’s a {expletive} disgrace. Every week now we’re picking up a newspaper and seeing, ‘Yet another few kids have been killed in schools.’”

Liam Neeson on Charlie Hebdo & gun control: “There’s too many {expletive} guns out there,” he continued. “Especially in America. I think the population is like, 320 million? There’s over 300 million guns. Privately owned, in America. I think it’s a {expletive} disgrace. Every week now we’re picking up a newspaper and seeing, ‘Yet another few kids have been killed in schools.’”

Liam Neeson will join Sylvester Stallone as a gun control advocate's hero & the nra's hypocrite, for bashing American gun culture while starring in pictures which blast away with guns that always save their lives.
Actually, just having seen on tv both taken, & taken2 (liam's movies), I'd'a thunk he'd'a been a gunnut, happy to be wrong. The movies do somewhat glorify guns, but they're pseudo-realism, not Guns in America REALISM. But they do have a pretty tight escape hatch, eh?

I generally don't care for pseudo realism, sorry to admit I didn't think much of Neeson's movies in that regard, but shining a light on foreign exploitation of young girls in w-houses it was excellent.
