Reese Witherspoon Reveals Again Hollywood’s Gun Rights Hypocrisy

U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- Reese Witherspoon’s not a lawyer. But she’s played one on television.

Witherspoon’s credits during her Tinseltown tenure include roles involving firearms and the legal profession. In real life, her gun control comments following the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha, Wis., show she knows little about either. She demonstrated Hollywood’s hypocrisy on personal security and gun rights upon which regular Americans revere and depend.

Armchair Lawyering

It didn’t take long for the armchair lawyering to begin after a jury unanimously determined Rittenhouse had acted in self-defense when he used a Modern Sporting Rifle (MSR) to protect himself when he was attacked during the Kenosha riots last year. High-profile celebrities, sports figures, and even President Joe Biden had already rushed to judgment before the trial. After the facts were methodically laid out to the jury (and on TV for the whole world to see), celebrities still repeated falsehoods about Rittenhouse and called his acquittal an injustice. The starring role in this made-for-television drama was Witherspoon.

“There was no justice,” Witherspoon tweeted. “This is a disgrace. No one should be able to purchase a semi-automatic weapon, cross state lines and kill 2 people, wound another, and go free. In what world is this safe … for any of us?”

Defense counsel proved that Rittenhouse did not, in fact, cross state lines with and MSR. PolitiFact even rated U.S. Rep. Jerry Nadler’s (D-N.Y.), the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, tweet saying so as False. Those facts didn’t get in the way of Witherspoon’s gun control narrative. She even thanked national gun control.

“@MomsDemand @Everytown thank you for the work you do. It is vital,” Witherspoon said.

The two gun control groups already passed judgment on Rittenhouse, including falsely labeling him a “white supremacist.” Facts didn’t matter to Witherspoon, her elite Hollywood celebrity friends or national gun control groups. Neither Witherspoon, her A-List celebrity friends or her vaunted gun control groups acknowledged that convicted felons attacked Rittenhouse, including lone survivor Gaige Grosskreutz, who was illegally possessing and carrying a handgun, to which he testified that he pointed it at Rittenhouse’s head just before he acted in self-defense.

Real World

Witherspoon and her Hollywood friends would do better directing their ire locally instead of halfway across the country at the Rittenhouse verdict. There are legitimate safety concerns in Hollywood and the rest of Los Angeles County.

In California, one of the strictest gun control states in America, residents concerned about their personal safety were just on the receiving end of a one-two punch by local authorities. Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon is under fire for a pattern of allowing violent criminals off easy, including announcing the release of a convicted murderer after only six years of a 50-year prison sentence. Witherspoon’s Twitter account was suspiciously silent on this matter.

Witherspoon didn’t have any tweets about safety following the Los Angeles County Police Department’s recent advice that victims of follow-home robberies should just cooperate and comply with criminals.

The Legally Blonde actress may have remained silent because to speak up would have revealed the plot twist in the script. She lives in Hollywood’s gated neighborhoods with armed private security. That’s a luxury unaffordable to the rest of America. Life’s different when your name’s in lights. Calling for gun control while being guarded by guns isn’t real life. It’s just another example of Hollywood’s gun control hypocrisy.

Real America’s Response

Far away from the silver screens, in neighborhoods and communities across the country, law-abiding Americans have responded to the ongoing crime and violence of the past two years by taking ownership of their Second Amendment rights. Over 21 million background checks were conducted for a firearm purchase in 2020, including 8.4 million who did so for the first time, many of them women, African Americans, Hispanics, and Asian-Pacific Islanders. This year the pace is continuing, with nearly 15.7 million going into October and over 687,000 FBI National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) verifications concluded including in the run-up to Thanksgiving and Black Friday.

The good news is law-abiding Americans aren’t listening to Hollywood actors and instead are exercising their Second Amendment right.

Witherspoon should be one of the first lawsuits filed, should be an easy win for Kyle legal team. She has assets and will avoid going to trial.

Reese apparently favors felons and violent attacks on a minor by those felons with no recourse for self defence . Hope she gets to experience an attack on her by violent felons with no recourse for self defense bet she changes her tune in a hurry then !

Miss WitheredPoon needs to keep quiet about things she knows nothing about.

willyd

As most of Holy Wood should, using guns to promote ACTION FILMS, but CONDEM PRIVATE OWNERSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You don’t understand. We all equal, just some are more equal than others. Defending yourself is being a vigilante. It is up to the police (that they want defunded) or hired guns to protect you.

When I think of a person of powerful intellect, one to whom everyone looks for moral and social guidance I think of Reece Witherspoon! Sure I do. I personally just gave her more attention than she is worth when it comes to the social narrative.

Wild Bill

Most excellent humor!

I’ll take the advice of Barney Fife over Witherspoon anytime.

BigJim

I think i seen her filling up her tire in the gas station. She put the air chuck to her ear, filled up and drove off with the tire ripped off the rim.

Wild Bill

So that is the secret of her great wisdom!

Since I don’t watch sitcom drivel produced by Hollyweird sickos, I have zero idea who this “star” is. Good!

Most Shillebrities are puppets for the Masonic Zionist PTB Gaslighting Theatre Circus Show. Oprah, OJ Simpson, Cosby, Mika Brzezinski, Seth Rosen, Baldwin, Ellen, Cher, Streisand, The View, Morning Joe, Rob Reiner, Rosanne, Tom Arnold et alia. They will speak up on cue when needed to support the narrative.They all were made & enriched $$$. They could careless about We the People & real Freedoms. They are generally selfish narcissist’s only concerned with themselves, their image & wealth. Notice how few of the speak up currently & support 2nd A. Charleton Heston was obviously the real deal.

Actors should stick to what they know how to do – pretend to be other people.

But they should not pretend to know anything about firearms and firearm law when they don’t. Or politics in general, for that matter.

Mac

As usual, the know it all, addled idiots aka celebrities are pontificating on subjects they know absolutely nothing about. They somehow believe pretending to be a lawyer/police officer/ soldier/intelligent person actually makes them one.
These people are so intellectually and morally bereft they can only pretend. Anyone who would give any credence to their proclamations is also of questionable intelligence.

Bill

Wow! Another valuable pronouncement from one of Hollywoods’s “talented” bimbos! We must surely agree with her! Yeah; NOPE!

Does anyone remember when she was drunk and lied to the Memphis police and said that she was pregnant to get her and her husband out of trouble
