Why does Sean Penn have two handguns in his car?

Maybe the actor had been getting death threats from people who believed that his stance on the war was unAmerican, un patriotic, etc...

But wait a damn minute. Are you suggesting that he defend himself WITH A FIREARM? Aren't you sure that the law enforcement establishment could provide for his safety? This is the central tenant behind 'gun control' which Mr. Penn's associates in Hollywood so stridently support. I don't remember Mr. Penn being a vocal supporter of firearms in the past - certainly not a poster child for the concealed carry permit.

Screw Sean Penn!!!

I think we should drown him in Iraqi oil!!!

Iraq's Rebuke to the NRA

If there are so many guns in Iraq, why is it still a dictatorship?

In the March 11 New York Times, Neil MacFarquhar notes in passing, "Most Iraqi households own at least one gun." This comes as a shock to those of us who've been hearing for years from the gun lobby that widespread firearms ownership is necessary to prevent the United States from becoming a police state. Here, via the National Rifle Association's Web site, is Bill Pryor, attorney general of Alabama, decrying the "war on guns": "In a republic that promotes a free society, as opposed to a police state, one of the basic organizing principles is that individuals have a right of self-defense and a right to acquire the means for that defense." The basic Jeffersonian idea is that you never know when you'll need to organize a militia against your government. In director John Milius' camp Cold War classic Red Dawn, Russians and Nicaraguan commies take over the United States in part by throwing gun owners in jail. In one memorable scene, the camera pans from a bumper sticker that says "You'll Take My Gun Away When You Pry It From My Cold, Dead Fingers" to a Russian soldier prying a gun from the car owner's … you get the idea.

The obvious question raised by MacFarquhar's piece is how Iraq got to be, and remains, one of the world's most repressive police states when just about everyone is packing heat.

Maybe they can't afford bullets.

Because they're too busy trying to feed themselves.

Sean Penn took out a full page ad in the NY Times today in an attempt to rationalize his selling out to the enemy in Iraq.

The guy has to be one of the world's biggest jerks. I rank him up their with Bill Clinton, Noam Chomsky, and James Carville -- three of the biggest losers of all time.

"The guy has to be one of the world's biggest jerks."

Unsubstantiated Allegation.

Bush and his admirers are idiots, fools or quizlings.

We know why they camp here. It's their job.
