White House Fed Celebrities Anti-Gun Talking Points To Tweet

** When you buy products through the links on our site, we may earn a commission that supports NRA's mission to protect, preserve and defend the Second Amendment. **

Perhaps taking a leaf out of propagandist Leni Riefenstahl’s book, the White House emailed Hollywood celebrities with Twitter-ready sound bites for them to parrot and retweet in support of President Obama’s gun-control push last week, Fox News reports

While Hollywood isn’t known for its braintrust, it is known for its hypocrites, who are happy to have armed security for themselves while they profit from glorified, gratuitous on-screen gun violence and seek to deny the rest of us the means to defend ourselves from the mayhem their “entertainment” promotes. It’s also known for people who are very good at reciting the words of others while feigning heartfelt emotion

They’re the world’s leading experts at making fiction believable. So it’s no surprise that the White House would try to recruit them to sell its anti-gun fantasies.

Standing Guard | The NRA Gathers to Celebrate Our Freedom

The momentum we’re seeing across the country is both encouraging and energizing. January opened with tremendous activity at the NRA booth during SHOT Show, where members, industry partners and supporters stopped by to connect, share ideas and reaffirm their commitment to freedom and the Second Amendment.

Port Authority Doubles Down on Constitution-Free Zone with High-Profile Arrest

As anyone who has passed a basic civics class knows, the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land. All legislation and official government actions are subject to its limits.
