Gun Company Calls For Boycott of Liam Neeson After Anti-Gun Comments

A North Carolina gun manufacturer has called on the firearm industry to boycott actor Liam Neeson over the Taken 3 star’s controversial comments about guns. In a Facebook post, PARA USA said the company now regretted providing firearms to be used in the Taken 3 film.

“While the film itself is entertaining, comments made by its Irish-born star during press junkets reflect a cultural and factual ignorance that undermines support of the Second Amendment and American liberties,” the company said.

“We will no longer provide firearms for use in films starring Liam Neeson and ask that our friends and partners in Hollywood refrain from associating our brand and products with his projects. Further, we encourage our partners and friends in the firearms industry to do the same.”

During a recent interview with the English-language Dubai newspaper Gulf News, Neeson said people in the United States had too many guns.

He used their products along with his own acting, to make a buck, then said something bad about their product, and they take offense?


I'm shocked.
