Actor Kurt Russell, one of the stars of the upcoming film The Hateful Eight, recently told an interviewer that it would be bonkers to claim that gun control would reduce terrorist attacks in America.

Now, you may have decided to boycott Eight because it’s directed by cop-hater Quentin Tarantino, but maybe now you’re thinking twice about attending.

From The Blaze:

Legendary actor Kurt Russell said in a recent interview with Hollywood reporter Jeffery Wells that it’s “absolutely insane” to believe that more gun control will curb terrorist attacks.

Discussing America’s “gun culture” and film producer Quentin Tarantino, Russell said he doesn’t “understand [the] concepts of conversation” about “the gun culture,” after Wells asserted that most Americans fear that mass violence is becoming a “day-to-day” occurrence.

When Wells went on to say that guns are a ”metaphor that disenfranchised white guys need,” Russell let loose.

“If you think gun control is going to change the terrorists’ point of view, I think you’re, like, out of your mind,” he began. “I think anybody [who says that] is. I think it’s absolutely insane.”

“Dude, you’re about to find out what I’m gonna do, and that’s gonna worry you a lot more,” the actor continued. “And that‘s what we need. That will change the concept of gun culture, as you call it, to something [like] reality. Which is, if I’m a hockey team and I’ve got some guy bearing down on me as a goal tender, I’m not concerned about what he’s gonna do — I’m gonna make him concerned about what I’m gonna do to stop him. That’s when things change.”

Dude!

Russell had better prepare himself for some backlash from the mainstream media and his Hollywood peers, but hopefully he doesn’t come out and retract his comments.

Technically the husband of actress Goldie Hawn, Kurt describes himself as Libertarian.

It’s nice knowing that there are other celebrities in Hollywood outside of Tim Allen and Clint Eastwood that aren’t completely far-left radical loons.

Russell has starred in such films as: Escape from New York, Miracle, Stargate, Tombstone, Backdraft, Captain Ron, and Big Trouble in Little China, to name a few.

Bonus*** Russell was the voice of Elvis Presley during the scene in Forrest Gump when young Forrest showed ‘The King’ some dance moves.
