Million Mom March Apple Pie Award Finalists


WarOnGuns has two finalists to nominate to the Million Mom March for their "Apple Pie Award." As you'll see, both the nominees are deserving, so it's a really tough choice that only the Moms can make.

First we have Sean Connery, that dashing Double-O-Seven, for his work disarming his countrymen:

A voice-over from former 007 James Bond actor Sean Connery says: "It is said a total ban on handguns, including .22s, would take away innocent pleasure from thousands of people." The man in the film fires a rapid succession of shots, devastating a human- shaped cardboard target. Connery says: "Is that more or less pleasure than watching your child grow up?" The film closes with the words: "Remember Dunblane. Ban all handguns."
You can see him recommend a woman be "shaken, not stirred" here:
I don't think there is anything particularly wrong in hitting a woman, though I don't recommend you do it the same way that you hit a man.

You can see him "clarify" that belief to Barbra Walters here. Ahhh, OK, it's not as bad as I thought: It's only if you don't shut the hell up when he tells you to.

Next up we have the old HGH hunk himself, Sylvester Stallone. Yo:

We need one person in an influential position to stand up and tell the truth about gun control lobbies... Until America, door to door, takes every handgun, this is what you're gonna have... this is an escalating problem that’s eventually going to lead to, I think, urban warfare...It [2nd Amendment] has to be stopped, and someone really has to go on the line, a certain dauntless political figure, and say, ‘It’s ending, it’s over, all bets are off. It’s not 200 years ago, we don’t need this anymore, and the rest of the world doesn’t have it. Why should we?"
And Sly is equally gallant with the ladies:

The talk quickly turned to women, with Sly denying Janice Dickinson's claims he injected her with steroids. "The only thing I injected her with was my fist," he joked.
So how 'bout it, Moms? Which of these champions of "common sense gun laws" would you rather have women defenseless against? Which one strikes your...uh...fancy? Who deserves a slice of that pie...?

While you're making your minds up, go get Sean and Sly a beer. And don't make them ask you twice...

God, that pisses me off, David, because as an actor I absolutely adore Connery! :-(

Yeah, I'm shallow. I think he's completely hot for an old guy! ;-) Too bad he's a statist creep, because that really does make him infinitely less attractive.

That's nice that they both glorify guns in their movies, yet don't want us to have them. Sylvester wants to come door to door to get them?

Haha... come on.

Summary of the disarmament arguments used:

Connery: The Non-sequitur Argument; murderers exist, so disarm everyone else. (???)

Stallone: The Blank Slate Argument; the Second Amendment is largely ignored by the government in California (not to mention for the last 70 years by the federal gov't), and many other high crime risk, densely populated urban areas, and has been for decades.

You'll never know who gets the pie, they don't want people documenting their actions.
