Neeson has made a fortune in action movies, usually portraying a tough guy who takes revenge on bad guys who do harm to his loved ones - for example, the Taken movies.
He also went on an anti-gun rant last September.
Neeson recently angered gun rights activists as well as Para USA, which provided firearms for the film Taken 3, after he told Gulf News — in an interview after the Charlie Hebdo attacks— that there are "too many [expletive] guns out there. Especially in America." He continued: "I think the population is like, 320 million? There's over 300 million guns. Privately owned, in America. I think it's a [expletive] disgrace. Every week now we're picking up a newspaper and seeing, 'Yet another few kids have been killed in schools.' "Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.
He also didn't explain the link between a terrorist attack in Paris and law-abiding gun owners in America. Nor did he cite any statistics supporting his 'every week kids are killed in schools' claim.
I have taken a vow to boycott any and all flicks this two-faced jerk appears in, and urge you to do the same.
There's at least one person (or group) in California who is going further.
Politically motivated street artists have plastered "redesigned" movie posters at various Los Angeles bus stops mocking Liam Neeson for his recent pro-gun control comments amid the release of his new action movie, Run All Night.
The studio marketing poster for the film features Neeson holding a handgun in a menacing pose. The artists altered the movie title to read "Gun All Right" with the tagline "One Hypocrite Laughing All the Way to the Bank."

I won't give him a dime of my money...
I wish everyone felt that way.
