 The advocates of guns who claim patriotism and the rights of the 2nd Amendment - are they in well-regulated militias? For the vast majority - the answer is no." The actor warned of what he calls "absolutists," a term which he uses to describe "ideologues from both sides, but mostly from the far right who swear allegiance to unelected officials … that are to obstruct every possible act of governance, even the ones they support or initiate. Whose political and social goal is to marginalize the other side, vilify and isolate them with the hope that they will surrender, go away or die out." Alexander goes on to equate these absolutists with terrorists, as they believe "they hold the only truth, everyone else is dangerous. Ever meet a terrorist that doesn't believe that? Just asking." In an extensive argument, Alexander lashed out at gun activists who claim that gun regulation violates their Second Amendment rights. Check out OTUS on Facebook and follow us on Twitter @OTUSNews. They belong in accountable hands, controlled hands and trained hands. Alexander's response to the Colorado tragedy is the most recent in a line of arguments surrounding the issue of gun control. He finishes by saying that there is "no excuse" for the lack of regulation surrounding assault rifles, and that while stricter laws "will not prevent any tragedy," that "we certainly have done ourselves no good by allowing these particular weapons to be acquired freely by just about anyone." I'll say it plainly - if someone wants these weapons, they intend to use them.
– George Costanza's political stature just keeps growing. Former Seinfeld actor Jason Alexander has taken to Twitter to voice his stance on gun control, noting that the weapon on the Dark Knight massacre was "a military weapon. Why should it be in non-mil hands?" After that prompted online debate, he offered a lengthy follow-up attacking "absolutists," or "ideologues" who think "they hold the only truth, everyone else is dangerous. Ever meet a terrorist that doesn’t believe that? Just asking," he wrote, according to ABC News.
