Hollywood is out to destroy the NRA in new film.

Movie mogul says new Streep film to make NRA ‘wish they weren’t alive’

Movie producer Harvey Weinstein announced for the first time on Howard Stern’s radio show that he is making a full feature drama to try to destroy the National Rifle Association.

Mr. Stern asked Mr. Weinstein on Wednesday whether he owned a gun. The Hollywood heavyweight replied that he did not and never would. “I don’t think we need guns in this country. And I hate it,” the producer said. “I think the NRA is a disaster area.”

Mr. Weinstein then revealed his secret project about the gun rights group. “I shouldn’t say this, but I’ll tell it to you, Howard,” he said. “I’m going to make a movie with Meryl Streep, and we’re going to take this head-on. And they’re going to wish they weren’t alive after I’m done with them.”

The shock jock asked whether the film was going to be a documentary. Mr. Weinstein said no, that it would be a “big movie like a ‘Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.’”

The movie mogul said his vision was to scare people away from firearms. He foresees moviegoers to leave thinking, “Gun stocks — I don’t want to be involved in that stuff. It’s going to be like crash and burn.”

The chairman of the Weinstein Co. (formerly Miramax) is one of President Obama’s biggest fundraisers. He brought in more than $500,000 from his Hollywood friends for the president’s re-election campaign and the Democratic National Committee in 2012.

The 5 million members of the NRA are law-abiding Americans who are active in preserving the right to protect themselves and their families.

Mr. Weinstein thinks guns are necessary for self-defense, but only in other countries, during genocides and if the weapon is not personally owned.

Mr. Stern pointed out the inconsistencies in Mr. Weinstein’s earlier comments about a project about Jews defending themselves during the Holocaust. The producer replied that the justification for using a gun is “when you’re marching a half of a million people into Auschwitz.”

Mr. Weinstein does not seem to know that the Nazis were able to confiscate the guns that the Jewish people owned based on Germany’s government registry.

Also, the producer said he would have used a gun to stop from going to a concentration camp if he “found a gun, and if that was happening to my people.”

Mr. Weinstein has been watching too many movies if he thinks the good guys find fully loaded firearms in convenient locations to use only when necessary.

Before Mr. Weinstein and Miss Streep start production of their multimillion-dollar effort to persuade Americans to give up their guns, they might want to look at the history books of what happens when you do.

So what? It's his view and he thinks he can make a movie out of it. He may or may not be successful but why would anyone take this seriously? What conspiracy are you working on Danno? Did Obama write the script? Why are you so bothered by a movie that isn't even made yet?

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Indeed. So what?

So let me get this right.

Lets say a RIght-Wing mega hollywood producer (if there were such a thing) were to make a concerted effort to undermine (by means of film) an essential part of our Constitution.... lets say,

right to speech or the right to vote or the prohibition against slavery.

And this same person were a big time supporter of say Ted Cruz.....

For you it would not be a notable event?

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

It depends on the final product Danno, not spurious quotes.

[Darnell 8,478]

uh oh - what?

Film not relevant unless it airs prior to The Kenyan leaving office.

It's a commercial film Danno, as far as I can tell it's not even going to be a documentary but just some silly movie, I really don't care about it nor do I feel it threatens in any sense of the word the American constitution That you think it does is laughable.

I would feel the same about any movie no matter who the producer is and what the movie promoted. There are lots of films and books around and not all of them support current government policies I don't feel in any way threatened by any of them.

Sweet. I might actually pay for that one instead of dl'ing it.

Now that is cute.

For some reason smoking on TV is harmful and must be regulated but actual ideas which undermine the Constitution are meaningless.

The Opinions of a hairy Duck hunter concerning why any normal man would exclude vaginas from his life is deemed -dangerous and must be shut down.. but

confiscating peoples property and liberty are not.

Someone at chick-fil-a donated money to a pro family group and Leftwing mayors vowed NO MORE STORES WOULD BE PERMITTED TO OPEN IN THEIR CITY.

Leftwing Students and faculty actually banned CHic-fil-a from selling in their cafeteria without a whisper from anyone.

The power of just a 30 second Super Bowl ad is so effective, Left-wing groups will prevent them from airing if they might contain a contrary message, yet when a full feature film is produced to undermine part of the BILL OF RIGHTS, no one is suppose to notice the power it has.

DO you know how and why the existing movie rating system came into being?

Watch the movie and judge it on its own merits, like everyone else does. What's wrong with that?

Hollywood movies are commercial ventures Danno. Someone pitches an idea and research is done to determine if there's an audience for it that justifies the expense of making it.

Noone makes pro slavery films because the majority of Americans are not racist and do not agree with slavery.

People have their rights to express their opinion one way or another. The government is not involved with this film anymore than anything else you mentioned with the exception cigarette advertising. So you're made because a group is pushing an agenda that you don't share. Join the club.

It's not cute Danno. Your argument doesn't have any legs. I have to assume that the film will conform with all current legal requirements, I have no reason to think otherwise. Beyond that, I have no interest in it. A film that challenges the NRA will not necessarily challenge 2nd Amendment rights and nothing that has been posted in the OP gives any indication that it will. However, again as long as it conforms with all current legal requirements the filmmaker may make a movie about anything they want to and personally, I have no interest in it, none, zero. I doubt it would be a film that would hold any interest for me whatsoever. If you don't want to go see it, exercise your right not to but your faux outrage is pointless. There is nothing here to get in a lather over.

[Darnell 8,478]

Hey Danno - what do you think will happen,

if'n that film is released

AFTER The Kenyan leaves office?

First of all I am not mad at all, I just thought it to be an interesting topic to kick around.

Secondly this is not simply a matter of free enterprise,

There is a reason porn sells everywhere except at your local movie theater.

Anyone know why that is?

Not sure what you are getting at?

The guy who is creating this movie will be supporting whoever else is in power.
