Jase 13,417 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Liam Neeson has paid his respects to the victims of the Charlie Hebdo shootings and also spoken out about American gun laws. The Taken actor spoke in favour of gun control and described the current situation regarding firearms as a 'disgrace'. Speaking at a press conference for Taken 3 in Dubai on Tuesday (January 13), Neeson said: "First off, my thoughts and prayers and my heart are with the deceased, and certainly with all of France, yesterday. I've got a lot of dear friends in Paris." He went on to say: "There's just too many fucking guns out there. "Especially in America. I think the population is like, 320 million? There's over 300 million guns. Privately owned, in America. "I think it's a fucking disgrace. Every week now we're picking up a newspaper and seeing, 'Yet another few kids have been killed in schools'." Neeson added: "Let's put it this way: I think a light has been shone on the justice system in America, and it's a justifiable light." Speaking about the Taken films, he continued: "A character like Bryan Mills going out with guns and taking revenge: it's fantasy. It's in the movies, you know? "I think it can give people a great release from stresses in life and all the rest of it, you know what I mean? It doesn't mean they're all going to go out and go, 'Yeah, let's get a gun!'"

Goosey 3,017 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Lost respect for Neeson, "too many guns"? Come off it. I see he can't manage to get his poorly though-out point across without profanity either. Know what? There's way too many Liam Neeson movies out there.
