Podcaster and comedian Joe Rogan slammed Hollywood last Friday for its hypocritical stance on firearms.
During an episode of the “Joe Rogan Experience” with guest Tim Dillon, Rogan pointed out how the industry exudes a guns-for-me-but-not-for-thee mentality.
“Isn’t it f–king wild that Hollywood, in general, is very anti-gun, but they promote guns more than any other media on the planet? All their best movies, whether it’s ‘The Gray Man,’ or whether you’re watching ‘The Terminal List’ or ‘Mission Impossible,” Rogan said.

“It’s all ‘Guns save the day.’ Guns kill aliens, guns kill werewolves, guns kill everyone. Everyone bad gets killed by guns,” Rogan continued. “‘But guns are bad and you shouldn’t have guns.’ It’s crazy.”
Rogan is 100 percent correct. The majority of Hollywood elites don’t believe Joe Public should have 2A rights.
Yet, they have no problem profiting off of depictions of guns on the silver screen.
The virtue-signalers in Tinseltown love to demonize the National Rifle Association and its five million members for the violence in America. Which is absurd, as the NRA is all about promoting responsible gun ownership!
Yet, these actors, directors, and writers take no responsibility for the gratuitous violence they propagate.

As another comedian Bill Maher noted recently on his show “Real Time with Bill Maher” on HBO, the average American youngster “sees 200,000 acts of violence on screens before the age of 18.”
Maher goes on to say that, according to the FBI, one of the signs of a school shooter is a “fascination with violence-filled entertainment.”
“It’s funny, Hollywood is the wokest place on earth in every other area of social responsibility… but when it comes to the unbridled romanticization of gun violence — crickets,” observed Maher.
While it’s highly unlikely that filmmakers and TV producers and actors will make any changes or accept any responsibility, it’s nice to see that high-profile individuals, like Maher and Rogan, are waking up to and calling out Hollywood’s hypocrisy on gun ownership — something we’ve all been doing for years.
Much like the political elite, the Hollywood elite have a security detail. Nice house with walls and cameras surrounding it. They forget that the rabble that pay to watch their movies, therefore in an indirect way their salary, can’t afford that luxury. If I call 911 for an intruder in the house, I’ll be looking at a 30-minute wait time. So, I’m on my own to deal with the break in. So, I am my own bodyguard. Hollywood & politicians need to wake up and realize the luxury they have is not applied to all.
@dave , you owe me a keyboard, lol
Another HOLLYWOOD – IGNORANT, NIT-WIT.
“Ignorance is Bliss”
Reminds me of “Back in the Day”
To the Indians :
U.S. Govt Said – “Turn in your guns”
“WE will take care of you”.
Have you ever seen the Reservations in Az ??
The Cherokee – Death March ? From NC/TN to out west ?
SO – Dont “EVEN TRY” that S*it “Here”.
Better wear Ear Muffs if you do – It will get LOUD.
ps The NRA Establishes and Maintains all USA Gun Safety Rules.
Even for Law Enforcement.
YES – REALLY
Alec Baldwin should be in jail
Once more we have just mind-blistering, inescapable “logic” from the marxist government plant, Pronoun (man?, woman?, child?… all 3?).
In other words… “Although the serial DUI offender killed 30 children on the school bus he hit… there were plenty of other times he didn’t drive and managed to kill no one at all!”
Yep… “perfect” logic from Pinko Pronoun.
Hollywood has been like this for over 52 years whether it was shoot’em up crime dramas of the 70’s or the Rambo action movies of the 80’s to the present Hollywood has always shown hypocrisy when it comes to guns and violence in general.
There are plenty of movies that don’t feature the use of firearms or ray gun blasters. Admittedly, there are a lot of movies featuring both rampant use of firearms and actors that advocate pretty heavily for gun violence solutions. Many movies never even show a firearm, holstered, fired or otherwise.
And there are many firearms that are never used in the commissioner of a crime, are in violence against another human being,
….what’s your point? Your comment is worthless, it has nothing to do with the point being made that Hollywood is filled with hypocrites. Turn on television, all you will see are cop shows, Etc.. of course there are other genres of movies, no sheeot.
BUT THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DAYS, AND THE LIKES OF ANDY GRIFFITH, AND MR & MRS SMITH ..
How have you made it this long? Do you have to wear a helmet when you leave the house? Or do you sleep in it?
Wow! A breakthrough for blue. So please tell me you see the correlation here. Not every movie has a firearm in it. Ok now use that logic for firearm use in public. The vast vast vast majority of Americans use and carry firearms responsibly. Out of all the scary black rifles you hate there are millions and millions that are never used in a commission of a crime. You have to at least admit this is true. Also I will add that the average person who exercises their 2nd amendment rights has most likely never killed a woman while filming a crappy movie.
How’s your VHS tape of “Fried Greem Tomatoes” holding up?
Burn! You are the Insult Master!
That one made me laugh.
For the record, Steel Magnolias is a way better movie. Darryl Hannah, Julia Roberts, even Sally Field. 👍
