MORE HOLLYWOOD HYPOCRISY…


Ya know, it just never fails.  It seems that whenever we’ve got some Hollywood loser who’s desperate for attention and to get their name out in front of the public by any means possible, what is always the very first thing that they do?  Well, they either they start harping to us about “climate change” and how we’re bringing about the end of the world as we know it, or they harp about how we ‘need’ stricter gun control.  Like any of these clowns know anything about either topic!

Another latest example of this rather narcissistic behavior, and one which happens to be focused on gun control, came to us on May 4 when actress Melissa Joan Hart, (I know, who?) who’s been rather scarce of late, appeared in a new gun control ‘public service announcement’ (PSA) in which she suggests that gun control should really be a topic of casual conversation.  She also uses the PSA to exclaim that she is “a member of Moms Demand Action For Gun Sense in America.”

Now it had been previously reported that Ms. Hart had signed on as spokesmoron for ‘Moms Demand Action’s’ newest gun control campaign, and now we see that she is not simply a spokesmoron for the group but she is also, and very proudly so, card-carrying member of the gun control group as well.  It never ceases to amaze me how these people always need to have some sort of cause as if that somehow provides to them a way of proving that they are somehow better than the rest of us.

Anyway, it was in the recent May 4 PSA that we hear Ms. Hart talk about how eagerly friends talk about receiving “a promotion at work” or how quick kids talk “when they ace a test.”  She says that that’s the very same way that we need to talk about gun control; and this includes talking to friends and neighbors about locking up their guns. Hart shows how to call a friend and ask if the friend owns guns. If the friend says yes, she then shows how to ask the friend if she keeps her guns locked up.

In another part of this idiotic PSA, Hart appears beside a man in a police uniform who takes the magazine out of handgun, locks the magazine in a safe, then runs a cable lock through the gun, rendering it inoperable. He then hands the key for the cable lock to Hart. As he does this, Hart talks about the importance of locking up the gun and ammo separately.  Now I suppose in a perfect world, or whatever world it is that Ms. Hart may reside in, this all makes perfect sense.  But we live in the real world.

Not once does the rather clueless Ms. Hart, in all her infinite wisdom, ever attempt to explain what a father is supposed to do when an intruder breaks into the house at 3 a.m. but the gun is locked in one closet and the ammo in another. Is he simply supposed to politely ask if the intruder minds waiting while he first unlocks his weapon and then retrieves the ammunition?  Now maybe there where Ms. Hart lives the criminals are that understanding, but not in my neck of the woods for sure.

Nor does she venture to guess what a single mom is supposed to do when she and the kids get home from a movie, only to find sexual predators in the house waiting for them.  Does the mother ask the sexual predator if he can give her a few minutes to freshen up, then use that time to unlock the gun in one room and run to another to unlock the ammo?  And what does the mother do if, while under duress, she cannot remember the combination to the safe in which the firearm is locked? 

These are very simple questions raised by Hart’s idiotic little PSA–raised but, either out of convenience, or perhaps something a bit more sinister, are simply left unanswered.  Unfortunately we don’t live in the fairytale world that exists only in Ms. Hart’s movies and silly little sitcoms.  Crooks will always mange to get a gun, and to leave law abiding citizens at their mercy, completely unarmed and totally defenseless, unless of course they wish to remain so, goes beyond foolishness.
