What a hypocritical douche. This moron has made millions selling films that revel in gun violence and then he has the gall to call for banning semiautomatic rifles that are cosmetically scary. Hey Sly, when you say “assault weapon/rifle,” it’s a misnomer. My AR-15s don’t have selective fire, you dunce. If it did, then you could refer to it as as “assault rifle.” Fully automatic rifles are extremely hard to come by – there’s tons of legal hoops and the stamp tax that needs to be paid in order to get a pre-1986 automatic. And that’s if you even live in a state that would allow a pre-1986 rifle. Just another clueless Hollyweird leftard that knows little of what he speaks, but wants to exploit a tragedy in order to further a political agenda.

Omg……Sly, I respected you, don’t do this to me.
You are standing for people who use this propaganda to take away people’s rights. Not for those who have been affected by gun crime.
If attacker has a gun, have you going to defend yourself?!
Do you really believe that nation living in fashion of aggression, action, war and attacks is going to sudenly change into the peacefull nation that see gun as something alien and foreign?
No….therefor….criminals will always carry guns, so we should protect ourselves.
I say this….if government take your right to carry guns, them get rid of all bigger dog breed, then knives will not be in fashion…..so you will become in someone else’s power.
Why so sudenly….?!
Well……

Most of us can’t afford the armed bodyguards you have Sly. The courts fail to prosecute criminals. The current system does not work. There are over 20,000 firearms laws in existence that they fail to enforce. Police officers are given equipment to allow them to protect the public from criminals. This includes, semi auto pistols, AR15 rifles and shotguns. They don’t carry muskets, swords or revolvers anymore because they are not adequate to stop today’s criminal. If the second amendment allows me to protect my family and life why should I not be allowed to use the same weapons the police officers deem fit to stop the same criminal threat? I am not talking, rockets, grenades or tanks here people. The day that these under staffed and funded police can guarantee they will be standing next to me when a criminal decides to do my family harm is the day I don’t need firearms.

That’s a little hypocritical, considering he’s made so much money using them in movies.

I think he should donate all the income he received from that movie to the victims of the Sandy Hook massacre.

Well ‘Your rights’ are killing your children. Bravo

Sly is earning his “Meathead” nickname all over again!

[Who] needs an assault weapon?” Stallone is quoted as telling the Associated Press. “Like really, unless you’re carrying out an assault.

It’s legal to hunt with all rifles, in my state and in the two next to me as long as they use center fire ammo . I also enjoy target practice, and competition but I guess that isn’t allowed in Stallone’s world! For sure not his state, the republic of Kalifornia!

To state that they are only good for “assaulting” is pretty asinine and what I’ve come to accept from the fringe left of politics and Hollywood.

Stallone has lowered himself to the level of cesspool, hollywood leftist that are no longer worthy of any attention. I will never again pay to see anything he is associated with and encourage all I know to do like wise.

Wow…. is all I can say to you. just… wow. If freedom means foodstamps and having your children killed while trying to learn something in school. you can keep it.

I can see why you wouldn’t care then…

Wow, you’re one arrogant prick.. You know NOTHING about Europe my friend. I’m very happy living in Europe thank you very much, where I can watch a movie without fearing i’ll get shot.. where I can send my kids to school knowing they’re safe and they won’t be gunned down.. Where I can shop to my heart’s content in the biggest shopping malls or even take a stroll down the street knowing i won’t be gunned down. Heck i can even jump in my neighbour’s backyard to get my cat knowing i won’t be shot (on the contrary i’ll get a cup of coffee) So yeah keep your frigging guns. I’ll be waiting for your next John Wayne to be on the news after he guns down another whole classrooms of toddlers

Why should I donate any money? I neither killed anybody, nor do I care about those victims.

You finally coming around to my way of thinking?

I agree with Stallone why the hell does anyone want a weapon for are terrorist coming in ur house? I don think so
So why on earth does anyone want a firearm its just plain simple
And ya most of those mass killers have mental Heath disorders and need support and most of these cases are associated with neglect and isolation
Wow it’s like Stallone took the words right out if my mouth lol
I’m supporting him with that claim
I mean soo many people are now too frieghtened to go to America now we have it change things and fast before the population is terrorised

It’s a movie get over it
What’s a movie purpose?
TO entertain its not the actors choice it’s the plot of the film I love action movies and I ain’t going to go shooting people tomorrow
Actors have opinions and views too
They are humans too
And stop yapping about stupid gun laws that haven’t helped ur case right now has it?
Guns or no guns right now people should be thinking about supporting the mentally ill And instead of making them feel neglected and put them in a corner u should put them out and make them feel populour and needed and whatever child that’s neglected throughout their lives u should get social workers come and check on the child instead of sitting there on ur sofa watching America fall
It’s sad what the community has become
What happened to the friendly,nice,selfless people working together
Humanity will fail if we don’t start working together despite differences and religion differences
There is this case where an extreme consecutive muslim woman that threw burning,highly concentrated acid onto a lingere models face sad sad sad

Are all liberals as stupid as you?

Our rights are not killing children, criminals and lunatics are. BTW,about twice as many children ages 0 – 4 are killed by hands and feet (beat and shaken) than murdered by the use of a gun.

Stallone has clearly been punched in the head too many times during his Rocky years. These days he couldn’t star in a movie that DIDN’T have assault weapons and yet he supports the ban? It’s not the gun ban that is getting people fired up, it’s our freedoms that are being taken away little by little. And in the same breath he states that the people carrying out these horrible massacres are crazy. Which is it, Stallone? The guns or the people with mental health issues? Do you blame the terrorists or the planes that took down the The World Trade Center? Do you blame the bomb in Oklahoma City or the madman who built it and blew up the building? People who don’t live in the United States can’t understand why a lot of us are upset about banning the guns but they don’t live in our country that was built on the freedoms stated on our constitution. Those are the people’s rights, not for the government to take them away. The bill of rights are the foundation of this country and they’re being deteriorated by a government who wants to control it’s citizens. If you’re okay with banning assault rifles, fine! But I can guarantee there will be more freedoms taken away from you that WILL affect you personally. Only THEN you’ll be singing a different tune.

God didn’t grant the right to have guns. Are you serious?!

I get why people want handguns, I’m all for that and home protection. But you don’t need an AK47 to protect yourself or go hunting with. Just because we have the right to bear arms doesn’t mean we need a whole arsenal at our disposal.

this story would be less scary if he, and you, didn’t have handguns.

What are you talking about mr bruce aubry protecting your family from criminals wich criminals? is the taliban comming to your house you are living in the united states not in pakistan afganistan or mali you are the kind of american who is afraid of anything all forigners are terrorists all black americans dressed with hoodies are gang members sweden and switzerland is the same country a sikh with a turban is a moslem thats what you belive if some one walks right behind you do you shoot him down because he or she could be a possible treath for you?

It begins with the recognition that individuals have the right to defend themselves. While you can argue that disarming citizens will eliminate the need for a gun, how might a petite woman, for example, defend herself against even 2-3 larger men determined to assault her? Even if they’re using their bare hands, she has no chance.

Because the police cannot be expected to be on such a scene within seconds, a gun is the ultimate equalizer.

Even so-called “assault weapons” – which are actually semi-automatic guns – have a function. Imagine your home or business is being invaded my multiple armed criminals. How long will a 6-shooter pistol keep them at bay? You have much better odds with a weapon with a larger magazine and a longer muzzle.

The argument for banning guns gives criminals the power to eliminate law-obeying citizens’ rights to self-defense. The logic is that the more gun massacres they perpetrate, the more laws and restrictions are placed on those who have not done anything wrong, and likely never will.

That’s neither effective nor just.

What the other poster said is also correct. Europeans live in societies in which the state has supreme power over the individual. That’s all fine and wonderful… until the state becomes tyrannical. At that point, without guns, the citizens have no recourse.

All it takes is a bit of imagination to understand the purpose of an AR-15 (AK-47′s are fully automatic; AR-15′s are semi-automatic).

Imagine you’re a store owner in an area populated by criminals. 3-4 armed criminals come into your store carrying handguns.

Would you prefer to have a gun that holds two rounds, six rounds, or 15 rounds? Would you prefer to have a gun with a long barrel (more accurate) or a short barrel (less accurate)?

You can argue that this may not happen often, but that’s not the point. Many women are never raped, but that doesn’t void every woman’s right to carry a gun, mace, or stun gun just in case she’s the unlucky one.

Thats not the point. Why can you buy military style guns (machine guns, semi automatic weapons). Who needs them.

Of course it is hypocritical of a guy who makes his living with an assault rifle to imagine it is his right to decide who does or does not NEED an assault rifle. Put aside all the panic and media hype and the FBI crime stats show that only 1/2 of 1% of all homicides are committed with a long gun of any sort, rifle, shotgun or musket. “Common sense” that will tell you that probably the majority of that 1/2 of 1% will be committed with shotguns, there just are many more shotguns laying around. So maybe 1/2 of 1/2 of 1% may be committed with rifles of some sort. Lets say 1/2 of the rifles are what Mr. Stallone would call an “assault Rifle” . So we are now talking 1/2 of 1/2 of 1/2 of 1%. That’s 1/8 of 1% Sly. So if your new law is 100% effective and surely no one believes that even possible, but if we give it 100% it can at best reduce crime by 1/8 of 1% best case scenario. And for that you are going to create an enormous state and federal bureaucracy to implement and oversee and process the registration of existing Assault rifles in the millions and in the process make criminals to those who feel justified in ignoring the wrong headed law.

But he is ultimately on the right track in terms of mental disorders. There seems this great rush to pass new gun control laws which everyone knows will not reduce crime and maybe in a distant second place we may get around to discussion of mental health problems which everyone agrees WILL be of at least some effect. Specifically we need to look into the pharmaceutical involvement in these mass shootings. The one thing all mass shooters have in common is the use of some psychological medication. Lets take a look at that and also a look at why no government agency is looking at that? Couldn’t be the influence of the pharmaceutical industry on politicians and on the news media?

Thank you for the correction in spelling. I’ll edit my comment.

How can you have freedom if you’re allowed to kill innocent people?

If you believe American’s have more freedoms then those in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Canada, Netherlands then you need to get out more. I’ll take the high quality of life those countries offer over being able to own a gun.

Where does it say in the constitution you can have an *assault weapon*? The whole point of the 2nd amendment is for “A well regulated Militia…”

Are things that dangerous in the States that everyone needs a gun?

In how many Euro countries can you stand on a street corner and Call homosexuality moral deviancy? How about saying Muslims are evil and should be deported? In England I’ve read you can be charged with murder if you kill some thug that breaks into your home at 3 AM. True or not? Sounds like violent crime has reached such frightening numbers they are talking about limiting access to knives? France’s tax rate force the well to do out of their home country. How many cars are torched every night outside Paris? Not exactly peaches and cream I think. Please feel free to stay there and I will work to recover America from it’s deep dark plunge toward European style socialist failures. We need to start soon or we will be facing more disasterous communities like Obama’s hometown of Chicago.

Dude i agree with your point, but I also own a semi-automatic ak47. They are not all full auto.

I do know this: if American citizens had never been armed they would still be British subjects.

Read above. Guess you should read more, huh?

Your post doesn’t make sense. And we don’t have a bill of needs, we have a Bill of RIGHTS. It’s ok. I wouldn’t expect you to understand true freedom.

I’m with you Mendoza. Go look through history. Look at the times a government has disarmed it’s people. Then look what happens next. It’s never pretty…

More people are killed with fists every year than with rifles in America. Half of one percent of all murders are with a “long gun” of any kind. Yet they want to take away all the ar15 and aks from law abiding citizens. Make no mistake. This isn’t about “safety”, it isn’t about “saving lives”, or “making kids safe”, it’s about CONTROL

“[Who] needs an assault weapon? Who’s going to attack your house…?

Hey Sly,

Average # of shots fired by a police officer to stop an attacker = 5
Average # of invaders in a typical home invasion = 3

Do the math.

And what if you’re the poor unlucky fellow who is attacked by 4 -5 home invaders?

A 10-round magazine? Nah.

Here in America we have bears. Have you ever seen a bear?….They are gosh darn scary….

Breivik was able to kill 77 because there weren’t any good guys around with guns.

It’s not worth it. USA is the only “free” country in the world. Everywhere else we remain silent and do as our government tells us…This of course goes counter to what every stat says about quality of life in these evil “socialist” countries.

Americans have been brainwashed by their right-wing governments and special interest groups like the NRA.

You need to change your tampon.

You need to stop seeking ultimate authority in an iron age religious text written by desert nomads. Then again, I guess that simple minded people need simple answers to complex issues.

Europe on Gun Control:

“Jews (§5 of the First Regulations of the German
Citizenship Law of 14 November 1935, Reichsgesetzblatt I, p. 1333) are
prohibited from acquiring, possessing, and carrying firearms and
ammunition, as well as truncheons or stabbing weapons. Those now
possessing weapons and ammunition are at once to turn them over to the
local police authority.”

Confiscation was also made legal.

“Firearms and ammunition found in a Jew’s possession will be forfeited to the government without compensation.”

You can’t even spell or write English on an elementary school level. It doesn’t lend much credibility to what you are saying. Your whole post is one big rambling misspelled run-on sentence. Are you even American? If not then fuck off and mind your own business.

You do realize that America has (and almost always has had) a slew of socialist policies, right? Methinks you’re just throwing it around like a scare work.
And, in point of fact, the government DOES have the constitutional power to take your property. It has for a long, long time. Just throwing that out there.

He’s 100% right.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I could’ve sworn it wasn’t called the “Bill of Needs”, but the “Bill of Rights”

God didn’t write the US Constitution. So no.

If you really want to compare US vs. Europe in gun killings, trust me….your point will not be made the way you think.

Godwin’d. Takes less and less each time.

you can argue that this doesn’t happen because it doesn’t happen. THE END.

In the Constitution is a little piece called THE BILL OF RIGHTS. God you are dumb.

That’s not Europe on Gun Control.

That’s Nazi Germany on Jews.

You know the Nazi’s did a lot worse to Jews right?

“Those who sacrifice liberty for safety, deserve neither.” –Benjamin Franklin

So what’s your bullshit retort going to be now?

Bull shit it doesn’t happen. What are you, fucking blind or do you just live under a rock?

Antistuff doesn’t base his arguments on facts. He bases them on sensationalism and propaganda. Don’t let this troll get to you.

I’m kind of new to this. Thanks for the pointer.

It’s not a assault weapon it’s a personal defense weapon, if you have 3 or 4 intruders breaking into your home you need to protect your family, cause the response time from 911 takes to long that is a fact! And Sylvester Stallone shouldn’t talk! with his instructional movies on killing people! That is the problem when mentality unstable people are watching you killing people on screen and being a hero! You have your body guards so don’t say we can’t have our personal defense weapons!

What people own is none of your business.
