"Banning Guns" in Schools Condemned By Comedian Vince Vaughn

Vince Vaughn believes that in order to stop gun violence, we must encourage all schools to stock firearms. The True Detective actor has outlined his pro-gun viewpoint in an interview with the U.K edition of G.Q.

His stance reads:

"I support people having a gun in public full stop, not just in your home. We don't have the right to bear arms because of burglars; we have the right to bear arms to resist the supreme power of a corrupt and abusive government. It's not about duck hunting; it's about the ability of the individual. It's the same reason we have freedom of speech.

It's well known that the greatest defense against an intruder is the sound of a gun hammer being pulled back. All these gun shootings that have gone down in America since 1950, only one or maybe two have happened in non-gun-free zones. Take mass shootings. They've only happened in places that don't allow guns. These people are sick in the head and are going to kill innocent people. They are looking to slaughter defenseless human beings. They do not want confrontation.

In all of our schools it is illegal to have guns on campus, so again and again these guys go and shoot up these f***ing schools because they know there are no guns there. They are monsters killing six-year-olds."

The 45-year-old actor spoke more about having guns in schools, stating, "Banning guns is like banning forks in an attempt to stop making people fat. Taking away guns, taking away drugs, the booze, it won't rid the world of criminality."

Vaughn has been vocal about his libertarian views. In an interview conducted back in February, Vaughn stated that everyone should have the right to defend themselves if they need to. He stressed that the individual should ultimately be the one to choose how he/she wants to defend him/herself.

The full interview will be available in the July issue of British GQ, which will hit newsstands on June 4. A digital version will also be available on the same date.
