-- Sharon Stone. In May 1999, actress Sharon Stone stated she intended to turn in her firearms. "I urge you to trust and believe in your local law enforcement officers," said Stone, "and to trust and believe in the courage of following your heart and surrendering your fear and anger." Yet, according to Movieline magazine, Stone used a rifle to threaten a trespasser. "As (the gate) swung open," said Stone, "I pumped my shotgun and said, 'I'm gonna blow your ass all over the street.' And I heard him land when he jumped and his footsteps running off."
-- Geraldo Rivera. On May 3, 1999, on CNBC, Rivera announced his support for gun control. "How much longer," Rivera said, "are we gonna be wrapping in the flag of patriotism to justify 250 million guns out there?" Yet when Fox Cable sent Rivera to cover the Afghan war, he and his brother packed heat. A contradiction? Rivera explained, "We refuse to be crime victims. We're not the victim types. If they're going to get us, it's going to be in a gunfight. It's not going to be a murder. It's not going to be a crime. It's going to be a gunfight."
-- Rosie O'Donnell, comedian, anti-gun activist and co-organizer of the Million Mom March. In her ambush interview of Second Amendment supporter Tom Selleck, O'Donnell said, "You can't say 'I will not take responsibility for anything the NRA represents' if you're doing an ad for the NRA. You can't say that." Yet O'Donnell hired a bodyguard to accompany her son to his private school. Oh, and the bodyguard applied to the State of Connecticut for a permit to carry a concealed weapon.
