Does anyone out there happen to know what director Oliver Stone's position on gun control might be?
The reason I ask is because the U.S. Supreme Court recently refused to block a lawsuit against him and Time Warner by the family of a Louisiana woman who was shot and paralyzed during a convenience store robbery in 1995 where the assailants claimed that their crime spree, which also left a Mississippi man murdered, was inspired by his 1994 film "Natural Born Killers".
The plaintiffs case is based on the argument that this movie incited "imminent lawless activity". They point to an interview in 1996 where Stone is quoted as saying "The most pacifistic people in the world came out of this movie and wanted to kill somebody".
If Stone is anti-gun, the irony would be too good to pass up. Many Hollywood notables who have taken it upon themselves to attack the 2nd Amendment rights of others, are falling all over each other to defend Stone's 1st Amendment rights in this case.
Hey Ollie!
Just tell them:
Movies don't kill people.
people kill people.
