Actor Matt Damon Calls for Massive Gun Ban in U.S.

Actor
Matt Damon said recently he wishes a massive Australia-style gun confiscation
of guns to happen in the United States.

“You
guys did it here in one fell swoop and I wish that could happen in my country,
but it’s such a personal issue for people that we cannot talk about it
sensibly,” said Damon, referring to the sweeping gun control laws enacted in
Australia in 1996.
The
Hollywood mega-star lamented that people get “so emotional” about the issue.
Australia’s
laws were changed after a gunman killed 35 people at a resort. With bipartisan
support from leftist and conservative politicians, Australia implemented a
massive buy-back of firearms, banned private sales and said that anyone wishing
to own a gun would need a “genuine reason” to have one beyond
self-defense.
Yet,
the Australian way is not the Bourne way.
The
best way for Matt Damon to express his anti-armed defense ideas is through the
propaganda machine of his movies. In his current “Jason Bourne” movie, he
dispatched at least 10 people as a gun-toting one-man-killing-machine. In his
other “Jason Bourne” movies, he killed other bad guys, especially from corrupt
and wicked intelligence services.
So
why Damon is so anti-gun if Bourne just loves them?
If he
were real, Bourne would dislike Damon, and surely if Damon were honest he would
hate Bourne and leave his role to a pro-gun actor.
By
rejecting the Bourne character, Damon could make a valid point based on his
conscience. In this point, he has no conscience to reject the money his
gun-loving character gives him.
Damon,
who has reportedly made over $50 million for his work in the four Bourne films,
has also had no issue with using weapons in other films.
The
45-year-old actor has also carried firearms in his movies The Departed, Green
Zone and Elysium, to name just a few.
He is
pictured holding a gun on movies poster for all four of his Bourne films.
Where
his conscience?
It is
time for Damon to reject Bourne and give back his $50 millions.
In
addition, he should disarm his bodyguards and make no secrets about it, letting
the public know that in consistency with his anti-gun stances, his bodyguards
are totally disarmed.
This
would be a real anti-gun propaganda.
I
support Jason Bourne, but not Matt Damon.
