Joe Perry
“I have always been fascinated with guns,” Perry said in a 2012 Fox News interview. The guitarist from Aerosmith, who refers to himself as an old-school Republican, also said that “the bottom line is the Constitution is what it is, and I stand by everything that is in it. Right now, some of the statistics show that some of the safest places in the country are places where law-abiding citizens are allowed to have firearms, and the crime rates are low.”
Chuck Norris
The former film star and martial arts champion is also a champion of the Second Amendment. Even though he began studying martial arts in order to avoid having to use a gun when he handled drunks in the military, he has strongly stated his support for people bearing arms. After the 2015 shooting at a church in Charleston, South Carolina, Norris said, “Imagine once again, if just one of those Christians who held a Bible in their hand at that AME church also packed a pistol via a legal concealed weapons permit. Souls could have been saved.”
Brad Pitt
Pitt is no stranger to holding a gun on-screen, starring in films like “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” and “The Mexican.” Off-screen, he is quite the gun enthusiast too. He told Live Magazine, “I absolutely don’t believe you can put sanctions or shackles on what is made. Nor do I want to pretend the world is different than what we witnessed that night … America is a country founded on guns. It’s in our DNA. It’s very strange, but I feel better having a gun. I really do.”
