This morning I caught one of the supporting actors speaking on the BBC about his role in the new Die Hard film. He said his role was fine, but he wished he could have used a gun and been "cool", he said that with total honesty and enthusiasm, and it really struck me how he and seemingly most young people have such a deep conviction that guns are "cool" and to use/hold a gun is "cool".
We all know that guns kill and are filthy things of death, sorrow, and pain, so WHY is it that young people are still so convinced that guns are "cool", when many of them have seen the consequences of using them with their own eyes, so they know that in reality guns are horrific and the total opposite of "cool"?
Plus - don't you think one of the two presenters sitting with the actor should have at least said something about his comment, because I think it was totally out of order in today's gun culture for a Hollywood actor to say that on national BBC TV??
