Liam Neeson Stands Firm on Gun Control Advocacy in the United States

Though he’s made his fair share of action films in which arms play a part, Neeson recognizes that real life is a lot different from a movie.

In the wake of the 2015 shooting at the offices of the satirical Paris newspaper Charlie Hebdo, Neeson said in an interview with Gulf News that America has too many arms and it is “a disgrace.”

The Guardian reported in 2015 that a US manufacturer, Para USA, had released a statement, which read:

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.

Despite Para USA’s response, Neeson held firm to his convictions that sensible regulations are necessary.
