Celebrities Call for Gun Control Plan

"The Connecticut school shooting that left 20 children and six adults dead, horrified Hollywood along with the rest of the nation, prompting celebrities to demand better restrictions and more mental health services.

A celebrity-studded public service announcement was released by the Demand a Plan campaign, with stars like Jamie Foxx, Gwyneth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon and more urging viewers to petition President Obama and Congress to form a plan to end gun violence."*

Celebrities including Will Ferrell, Ellen Degeneres, Beyonce, and Jamie Foxx made a video for "Demand a Plan," advocating people to call for a real gun control plan to prevent another gun massacre. Are celebrity endorsements enough to sway opinions? Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.

I needed a current list of celebrities that are anti-American and communist. It's always good to know your enemy and who not to support and buy products from.

Makin' a list, checkin' it twice, gonna find out who's naughty and nice :) Figure the government can put us on watch list, Maybe we should all have our lists. If your an anti-American fascist socialist, you can put me on your list. Fair enough.

"there" vs. "their", no apostrophe to show the possessive in "scumbags", and confusing "a" with "an" while calling someone an idiot.

And as far as Piers Morgan and his cronies go, their argument of 'who needs a military weapon of this magnitude," my answer is 'someone who has had his house broken into by more than one or two individuals.' You need a weapon that responds quickly so you can send these lawbreakers straight to hell. My question to Piers is this: 'who needs a Ferrari 458? Bottom line: Those who want it. That's what freedom is all about.

I was okay with YoungTurks before I saw this. They want gun control? So the idiot on the right thinks this ad is okay because they're supporting what he agrees? My problem with this is that these actors don't need these types of weapons. Why? Becaue they are protected by bodyguards. They don't live in a neighborhood with a high break-in rate. They are hyped up on the emotion of newtown. But, THEY DO NOT WALK IN MY SHOES! I support the 2nd amendment, and play actors will not sway me...
