Some interesting view points from stars about guns. Note that many live in very liberal non-gun friendly locations.
James Earl Jones is a member of the National Rifle Association of America (NRA) and once said, "The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose."
Miranda Lambert is packin' heat and she's not afraid to admit it: "I carry a weapon," she told Self magazine. "I got a death threat a few years ago and was really scared. But I don't want bodyguards. I am my own security."
Although he isn't currently a licensed gun-holder, Johnny Depp recalls being quite familiar with the weapon in his younger years -- a skill he's hoping to teach to his own children.
"We would just go out and line up a bunch of cans and shoot with rifles, handguns and at times, submachine guns," Depp said in 2009. "When I was a kid it was a controlled atmosphere, we weren't shooting at humans -- we were shooting at cans and bottles mostly. I will most certainly take my kids out for target practice."
Whoopi Goldberg disclosed during a taping of "The View" that she is a member of the National Rifle Association.
If we've learned anything from Angelina Jolie's acting career, it's that she looks good holding a gun.
In 2008, Jolie told the U.K.'s Daily Mail, "I bought original, real guns of the type we used in 'Tomb Raider' for security. Brad and I are not against having a gun in the house, and we do have one. And yes, I'd be able to use it if I had to ... If anybody comes into my home and tries to hurt my kids, I've no problem shooting them."
Simply showing that our royalty carry guns and it looks like your royalty do the same. Did you know Prince Philip enjoyed tiger hunting and Queen Elizabet II accompanied him? Prince Charles, Prince William and even Kate own guns and hunt.
