Cold Dead Hand! This is why we love Jim Carrey! The multi-talented funnyman takes on gun control opponents, and hits right on target with this ‘Hee-Haw’ send-up. Expect to hear cries of ‘Liberal Hollywood Elite’ because the video is thoroughly entertaining – and is soaring through the internet.
Perhaps more controversial are Carrey’s tweets on the issue of gun control and the sale of assault weapons. In the wake of Sandy Hook Carrey tweeted that those who purchase such weapons after the massacre have “very little left in their body or soul worth protecting.” Many protests and much screaming was heard. He recently tweeted, calling opponents of gun control “heartless motherf–kers unwilling to bend for the safety of our kids.” His character “Lonesome Earl” is seemingly more affable, but the message comes through loud and clear to the woefully inadequate and fearful pawns of weapon producers who are experiencing a banner year at great cost to public safety.
