Hypocrisy of the anti-gun Hollywood stars: Hilarious YouTube video
reveals the bloody roles filmed by celebrities now calling for gun
control
Gun rights advocates are hitting back at many of the stars who appeared in popular pro-gun control campaign 'Demand a Plan.'
A
video posted on YouTube called 'Demand a Plan? Demand celebrities go
f*** themselves' labels the stars hypocrites because many of them have
appeared in violent roles in TV and movies.
The
video takes special aim at Jaime Foxx, who plays a freed slave who
'kills all the white people' in his new movie 'Django Unchained.'

Criticism:
Jaime Foxx came in for special criticism for advocating tougher gun
control after he starred in the ultra-violent new movie 'Django
Unchained'

Standing
up: Reese Witherspoon is one of the many celebrities featured in the
'Demand a Plan' campaign calling for tougher gun control restrictions

Dark
side: Despite being known for starring in comedies like 'Legally
Blonde', Witherspoon has played violent roles - including this scene in
'Freeway' where she holds a gun to a man's head
'Demand
a Plan' was launched by the group Mayors Against Illegal Guns in the
wake of the elementary school massacre in Newtown, Connecticut.
It has received 6.2million views since it was posted on YouTube on December 21.
Recognizable
faces include Foxx, Jason Bateman, Beyonce, Amy Poehler, Jeremy Renner,
Jon Hamm, Reese Witherspoon, Cameron Diaz, Julianne Moore and Kristen
Bell.
The new video juxtaposes their sober-faced appeal for tougher gun laws with violent scenes the stars have played out on screen.
Sober-faced:
Actor Jeremy Renner was somber in his appearance in the video, despite
playing stone-cold killers in numerous actions movies
Mad
man: Jon Hamm is known for playing a hard-drinking adman on 'Mad Men,'
but he picked up a shotgun for his 2010 movie 'The Town'
When
Foxx invokes Columbine, the high school where two students killed 12 of
their classmates and a teacher, in the video cuts to scenes of him
moving down bad guys in several of his action movies.
Several scene from the ultra-violent new Quentin Tarantino movie 'Django Unchained' are also used.
Jeremy
Renner, another big screen action hero, has numerous gun-wielding
scenes spliced into his appeal for tougher gun restrictions.
When
Reese Witherspoon asks 'how many more colleges' will become the scenes
of mass shootings, the video cuts to a clip of shooting a man in the
head at point-blank range.

Support: Cameron Diaz was one of the stars asking for a ban on 'assault weapons' and restrictions on magazine capacity

Violent: Diaz robbed a bank and threatened to shoot patrons in her 1997 movie 'A Life Less Ordinary'
'Bunch
of hypocrites, if they feel so strongly against guns why do they take
up roles in movies where they use guns for violence. Seems to me they
don't practice what they preach,' one commenter wrote in response to the
video.
The stated goal of the 'Demand a Plan'
campaign is to convince Congress to pas legislation that will 'require
every gun buyer to pass a criminal background check, get military-style
assault weapons and high-capacity magazines off our streets and make gun
trafficking a federal crime.'
