I'm not very happy with Jim Carrey today.
I didn't like any of his early stuff. Finally saw a few performances and thought 'maybe he can act'. Now he's lost my respect. He's proven to be just another mindless, indoctrinated idiot. His tweets mentioned in this article show more of the typical gun control lying rhetoric (automatic weapons; WMDs; safety or guns - no acknowledgement that safety is provided WITH guns every day in America, and NOT just by law enforcement, or that our court's position is that our law enforcement is NOT obligated to protect us, an acknowledgement that they can't).
So he holds dual Canadian and US citizenship, does he? Perhaps in that process he might have heard about legendary characters known as the US Constitution and its sidekick, the Bill or Rights. If he doesn't like the principles upon which our country was founded, he's strongly encouraged to leave it.
I looked at his Twitter account myself to witness his anti-2nd Amendment tweets. Link below. Many of his gun control tweets are truncated and have a link to a webpage where the whole comment is displayed along with explosive responses.

Here's an article that attacks the quality and character of Jim Carrey after he inflamed 2nd Amendment supporters with his attack on them and the late Charleton Heston. Heston's success and influence are compared to those of Carrey.

A sharp follow-up on Jim Carrey and his recent attack of gun owners and deceased actor Charleton Heston.

And here's Carrey's press release rant. Would you send this? Attach your name to it? Expect to be considered credible, intelligent, mature or reasonable if you did?

Jim Carrey is back in the news today. He was widely covered in March for his gun control rants on Twitter and his parody video of the late Charleton Heston and the venom both inspired among 2nd Amendment supporters.
Today's news is that Carrey will not endorse his own most recent film, Kick-Ass 2, because of its violent themes.
Is this him walking his (gun control) talk or more hypocrisy by a Hollywood icon because he still agreed to and did the movie, knowing what its content was, and because he still collected his pay for it? What do you think?
He's being criticized by some for his 'change of heart' while still profiting from his performance.
" “I did Kickass [sic] a month b4 Sandy Hook and now in all good conscience I cannot support that level of violence," he tweeted on Sunday, referring to the shootings that killed 20 children and six adults at a Connecticut elementary school last December.
"My apologies… to others involve[d] with the film. I am not ashamed of it but recent events have caused a change in my heart.” "
So he's "not ashamed of it" but he "cannot support that level of violence", except with his actual performance in the movie, apparently.
It'd be satisfying if his contract required him to do endorsements for the film that he reneged on or if his public lack of support caused the film to tank and he was sued for either.

Yesterday I wondered if Jim Carrey could get into his own sort of legal trouble for breach of contract over his lack of support for his film, Kick-Ass 2. There's a news article today speculating about the same thing. Perhaps Carrey will have to put his money where his mouth has been. At the very least let's hope this has a negative impact on his future opportunities.
This article is a little confusing in saying perhaps nothing will happen but a "wrist slap" because studios "generally don’t make it a habit to sue A-list celebrities" but it goes on to say "The studio system minds know that the current PG-13/R crowd has no idea who Jim is or the movies and TV shows that he is famous for. There is nothing he could say publicly that could sway the crowds – the entire publicity is built on Chloe Moretz, her ‘Hit Girl’ character and the ‘Kick Ass’ title,” a movie insider added. “The studio could cut Jim’s scenes from the film entirely and the audience wouldn’t know the difference. I don't think anyone respects his voice anymore because Hollywood knows his Hollywood stock has dropped tremendously."

Actor Jim Carrey has apologized for his personal attacks and name calling toward gun owners but not for his anti-gun stance.
These 3 articles are all short and each provides slightly different details - not conflicting, just amplification.

Images of the actual tweets are included in this article: http://www.allproudamericans.com/Jim-Carrey-Apologizes-to-Gun-Owners.html
Apology or not, he's still on my naughty list. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I can like and respect people who disagree with mine but I don't have to support them with my consumer dollars. If celebrities exercised more restraint and "responsibility" when voicing theirs, knowing that their status virtually guarantees media coverage and a wide reach, then society would be improved. Some of them call for "responsible" solutions to gun violence, but then act irresponsibly when attacking non-violent gun owners. How is that "common sense", "reasonable" or "responsible"?
