Julianne Moore launches Hollywood-backed gun safety campaign
Reuters in New York
Tuesday 13 October 2015 22.22 BST
Oscar winner Julianne Moore on Tuesday launched a gun safety campaign with some 80 Hollywood friends and celebrities that is aimed at ending gun violence in the United States.
Supported by Steve Carell, Ellen DeGeneres, Jennifer Lawrence, Kim Kardashian, Yoko Ono, Reese Witherspoon and dozens of other Hollywood names, the campaign calls for guns to be kept out of the hands of criminals, domestic abusers, stalkers and those with mental illness.
It also calls for guns to be stored safely, out of the reach of children.
We believe the creative community has an opportunity to use our communications skills and the power of culture to galvanize many more Americans in the gun violence prevention movement, said a statement by the group, the Everytown Creative Council.

to the cause that they are willing to make a statement that they will not do any movies where the protagonist acts in a way contrary to their stated safety goals or promotes using guns and violence as a solution to problems?

Lets see, rich people that live in gated communities with armed guards, that make movies with lots of gun violence, that go out in public with armed guards, are pushing gun control on the rest of us??
