Right and his anti-semitc rants are just part of his appeal, or his threats to his former girlfriend?

Considering his much publicized tirades over the last few years, and the "poetic license" he has taken in his "historic" dramas, whatever credibility he had as a film maker was trashed years ago.

Also, almost unbelivably, his publicized rants to police and his ex actually proved that gun laws, when the information is up to date, work. Shortly after the recording of his threats to his ex girlfriend were made public, and the subsequint protective order issued, the esteemed Mr. Gibson was denied 3 times in his attempt to purchase firearms in the state of California.

You said a mouthfull. He is a hateful piece of shit and too emotionally unstable to be allowed anything more lethal than round nose scissors.

I'm happy to have him. He's produced and acted in some of the best movies of all time. He is one reason I can see for keeping a gun handy is one of the most absurd things that has been said on this forum. Ya think he's gun'a come come in with his guns blazing shootin up the town ??

It seems to me people like to pile on when someone is down. On 2 of his historic dramas he got it pretty much spot on, at least if you don't consider the bible and the life of Christ pure fantasy. So he's had a few emotional problems and hasn't done much professionally during the last few years. Keep on kicking him.
I still doubt if he's really going to come in and shoot up the town. If he wants a gun do you really think the NICS is ultimately going to stop him ?

First, NCIS is the Navy Criminal Investigative Service, we are referring to NCIC.

Second, under US Gun law, anyone with a protective order against them cannot legally own a gun, of course, considering that for state and local agencies, the input of the necessary data is purely voluntary.

Well hold on there. He didn't say NCIS, and it isn't NCIC either...

He said NICS, which is correct.

It was still an excellent movie.

The critics did not think so.

Right, NCIC then but the key point revolves around the word legal. Surely you don't really think if someone is thwarted by a background check they can't still obtain a firearm, especially someone such as Mel. I'm not saying we shouldn't fix the system and the other things you have been suggesting on these threads but those things, while helpful will not in and of itself fix the problem.

I don't know specifically what the problem with Braveheart was but The Patriot was fiction and not meant to depict precise historical data. It was still an excellent movie.

'Bogots' sound like something that cyborgs would suffer if they were to get colds or flu.

Just saying.

Roughly 40 school districts in Ohio allow teachers to pack concealed guns in the classroom, and more and more of them are getting trained on how to stop an "active shooter."

"Safety of our kids should not be a controversial issue. This is not about guns," Jim Irvine, of FASTERsaveslives.org and the Buckeye Firearms Foundation, told Fox News.

"For nearly 60 years, not one student has died from a fire. That is due to a redundant, overlapping approach to safety. We should be copying that same method for incidents of violence in our schools. You need something that is effective. Show us another method and we would invest in it..."

Superintendent John Scheu, of a 3,500-student school district in Sidney, Ohio, said his district adopted a new policy allowing concealed-carry in the wake of the attack in Newtown, Connecticut, where a gunman killed 20 young children and six staff at Sandy Hook Elementary.

"It made us as a school district look at the system we had in place to keep our children safe," said Scheu. "We quickly learned that we didn’t have anything in place. We decided to be pro-active."
