"If he were alive today the left would be demonizing him and blaming him for being a poor role model."
Hogwash.
Going to have to agree. Most of the Hollywood crowd who are gun lovers are well behaved on the balance. There are a few like Madonna and Robert Downey Jr who are less so.
But Whoopi Goldberg and James Earl Jones are in the NRA. The ones that get picked on by the left the most are the ones that carry without a license and then do something dumb with the gun.
