I don't personally care what his opinions are regarding guns, any more than I care what his opinions are about shoe color.
I just don't understand why people, (media members excluded, they have to sell papers and air time) give so much credence to someone who, in the overall scheme of things, has a no more valuable opinion, than the clerk at the local convenience store. Neither one of those people speak for me, and they are both equally entitled to their opinions. It just saddens me that there are so many sheep out there, who will believe that a wealthy actor, who makes his living from their patronage, somehow has more insight than the average person, whether it involves gun confiscation, or any other issue.
