Hollywood Mega-Star Stuns Everyone With Epic Answer To Anti-Gun Reporter- ‘Absolutely Insane…’

During a recent interview to push his latest movie, longtime Hollywood star Kurt Russell was confronted with what he felt were the “insane” claims of an anti-gun reporter; and how Russell responded to the reporter’s gun-ban ideas will probably have supporters of the Second Amendment standing up and cheering.
Russell was on a junket to flog his new movie, director Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight, when things got contentious. As reporter Jeffery Wells reported on his own blog, the actor was not at all shy about slamming any of the reporter’s ideas of gun bans.

During the press junket, Wells jumped into an impromptu discussion of America’s “gun culture”; and the way the reporter framed the debate pushed Russell to a series of exasperated replies.
Reporter Wells claimed that an interest in guns was “a metaphor that disenfranchised white guys need.” Russell apparently had about enough at that point.
“If you think gun control is going to change the terrorists’ point of view, I think you’re, like, out of your mind,” Russell said dismissively. “I think anybody [who says that] is. I think it’s absolutely insane.”

Without mincing words, Russell, a self-professed libertarian, continued.
“Dude, you’re about to find out what I’m gonna do, and that’s gonna worry you a lot more,” he said. “And that‘s what we need. That will change the concept of gun culture, as you call it, to something [like] reality. Which is, if I’m a hockey team and I’ve got some guy bearing down on me as a goal tender, I’m not concerned about what he’s gonna do — I’m gonna make him concerned about what I’m gonna do to stop him. That’s when things change.”
Wells tried to counter that, saying that the national no-fly list showed that people were dangerous “for a reason,” and then insisted that it was too easy for those same people to get a gun.

The actor snapped back, saying, “They can also make a bomb pretty easily. So what? They can also get knives and stab you. [What are you] gonna do about that? They can also get cars and run you over. [What are you] gonna do about that?”
Trying to steer the discussion back to his supposed pet peeve, Wells noted that the San Bernardino terrorists didn’t use cars to murder people–seemingly forgetting that they used cars to take them to the place where they murdered people.
Still, Russell didn’t find the reporter’s point very cogent. “But they’ve killed others that way, haven’t they?” he asked. “Yeah, yeah. Whaddaya gonna do? Outlaw everything? That isn’t the answer,” he said.

In a last ditch effort to extricate himself from the contentious discussion, Wells then tried to soften his stance a bit by saying that he just favored “some controls” on guns.
“Put some controls?” Russell said. “What, so the people, so the people who want to defend themselves can’t?”
“No, not so you can’t,” Wells insisted, “just so the idiots can’t get hold of them [so easily], that’s all.”
Russell, though, seemed to have had enough of what he felt were the “insane” ramblings of the reporter and finished the discussion by saying, “You really believe they’re not going to? Are you serious about that? What good will that…? Oh my God. You and I just disagree.”
