    Celebrities and airguns - photo's please

    I'll start off with the Sex Pistols' frontman and an ASI Paratrooper!

    The Mayor: Intent? How did you establish that?
    Harry Callahan: When a man is chasing a woman through an alley with a butcher’s knife and a hard-on, I figure he isn’t out collecting for the Red Cross.

    This photo looks to have been taken after the Pistols split up as Mr Lydon is sporting a Public Image Ltd T shirt.

    What a cracking photo though - thank you for sharing.

    I hate being reminded of this photo! Connery was offered the gun and refused, saying he didn't like guns! then that twat Graig said the same thing.

    Combined with Schwarzenegger trying to ban all guns in California after making the movies he did it makes me sick, hypocrites the lot of them!

    The LP53 belonged to the photographer and he substituted it because the Walther PPK wasn't available on set at the time. I don't believe there was any anti-gun feeling from Sean Connery.

    You believe wrong


    SEAN CONNERY
    Stance: Anti-Gun

    The former James Bond went to bat against guns in a 1997 anti-gun ad. In the ad, Sean Connery says, "It is said that a total ban on handguns, including .22s, would take away innocent pleasure from thousands of people. Is that more or less pleasure than watching your child grow up?"

    the ad went as follows

    March 17, 1997 Sean Connery Speaks Out for Handgun Ban: Sean Connery has lent his voice to anti-gun campaigners in Scotland, who launched a national cinema commercial on Monday calling for the incoming government to place a total ban on handguns. The commercial is part of a push by the Snowdrop Campaign--formed by parents of the sixteen schoolchildren gunned down last year in the Scottish town of Dunblane--before the country's general elections on May 1. The forty-second spot opens with a man loading a .22-caliber handgun. Connery, the original James Bond, says in a voice-over: "It is said a total ban on handguns, including .22s, would take away innocent pleasure from thousands of people." The man in the film then fires several shots at a human-shaped cardboard target. As the camera moves in for a close-up of the gun, Connery says, "Is that more or less pleasure than watching your child grow up?" The film ends with the words: "Remember Dunblane. Ban all handguns." Three weeks ago, legislation was introduced in response to the Dunblane killings that bans private ownership and possession of all pistols and revolvers except the .22. --Spades of Columbia 18:25, 7 August 2010 (UTC)



    Unless he was short of a few quid and did the Ad for the money then I would say he is Anti gun
