Movie mogul says new Streep film to make NRA ‘wish they weren’t alive’

Movie producer Harvey Weinstein announced for the first time on Howard Stern’s radio show that he is making a full feature drama to try to destroy the National Rifle Association.

Mr. Stern asked Mr. Weinstein on Wednesday whether he owned a gun. The Hollywood heavyweight replied that he did not and never would. “I don’t think we need guns in this country. And I hate it,” the producer said. “I think the NRA is a disaster area.”

Mr. Weinstein then revealed his secret project about the gun rights group. “I shouldn’t say this, but I’ll tell it to you, Howard,” he said. “I’m going to make a movie with Meryl Streep, and we’re going to take this head-on. And they’re going to wish they weren’t alive after I’m done with them.”

The shock jock asked whether the film was going to be a documentary. Mr. Weinstein said no, that it would be a “big movie like a ‘Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.’”

The movie mogul said his vision was to scare people away from firearms. He foresees moviegoers to leave thinking, “Gun stocks — I don’t want to be involved in that stuff. It’s going to be like crash and burn.”

The chairman of the Weinstein Co. (formerly Miramax) is one of President Obama’s biggest fundraisers. He brought in more than $500,000 from his Hollywood friends for the president’s re-election campaign and the Democratic National Committee in 2012.

The 5 million members of the NRA are law-abiding Americans who are active in preserving the right to protect themselves and their families.

Mr. Weinstein thinks guns are necessary for self-defense, but only in other countries, during genocides and if the weapon is not personally owned.

Mr. Stern pointed out the inconsistencies in Mr. Weinstein’s earlier comments about a project about Jews defending themselves during the Holocaust. The producer replied that the justification for using a gun is “when you’re marching a half of a million people into Auschwitz.”

Mr. Weinstein does not seem to know that the Nazis were able to confiscate the guns that the Jewish people owned based on Germany’s government registry.

Also, the producer said he would have used a gun to stop from going to a concentration camp if he “found a gun, and if that was happening to my people.”

Mr. Weinstein has been watching too many movies if he thinks the good guys find fully loaded firearms in convenient locations to use only when necessary.

Before Mr. Weinstein and Miss Streep start production of their multimillion-dollar effort to persuade Americans to give up their guns, they might want to look at the history books of what happens when you do.

Let's start to cut off the supply chain for the gang bangers which the NRA fights tooth and nail to maintain. Weakening the NRA saves lives.

Oddly enough, if we had a map which reflected NRA membership, we would find those areas with the most bloodshed have the fewest NRA members.

This new movie will have NRA members dressed as the modern day klan raping and hanging all minorities singing praise to the tea party...Oprah will play Sybrina Fulton as part of the black grievance industry that was done wrong..

Membership will increase, donations will increase. Firearms sales will increase,

Thanks.

Carry on.

[Gary and Alla 3,694]

Remember when Holloywood did this before? when the movie "the Jury" showed how fireamrs makers were guilty of mass murder? When the movie depicted a rigged jury awarding millions to the families of a workplace shooting?

You forgot already?

Shortly after that Congress passed a federal law protecting firearms makers from lawsuits for the mis-use of their products and limited them to strict liability for defective products only.

I love it.

Hollywood isn't a conspiracy Gary. Sheesh.

Maybe what the government does and what the NRA does will have nothing to do with this movie whatsoever.

I don't understand why so many people are so judgemental about a film that hasn't been made. At least wait until you know what it is about, or better yet when you have seen it.

What hypocrisy?

Didn't this Weinstein guy get rich making overly violent movies with guns being used like a mattress in a ####### house?

The Weinstein company has made some fairly diverse movies actually. Let's be specific here rather than talk in silly generalities.

It'd irrelevant anyway. Shall we have a comparative content analysis of Clerks 2, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, Arthur and the incredibles and Rambo? Stupid.

The fact that is that no matter what this guy had said, no one here knows what relation it will have to the final product. If any.

So he doesn't like the NRA. Boo fvcking hoo. Grow up, change the channel.

Of course!. Remember when the last round of assault weapon stupidity started, and a certain member loudly proclaimed to you the NRA was irrelevant now.

Got to give the guy credit..Wrong with more Fervor , Frequency, and. Tenacity than all else combined.
