Well, on the plus side, i guess we can mark on our calendars when the next run on ammunition is going to happen.

The topic came up when Stern asked about his plans to direct a film based on a book about the uprising in the Warsaw ghetto during the Holocaust, but used it as a basis to explain his feelings on guns.
'It's not a Holocaust story as much as it is Jews with guns. It's my whole philosophy. It's the idea that when injustice is that great you can't just march into the camps,' he said.
'I never want to have a gun... This is when you're marching a half a million people into Auschwitz. I'd find a gun if that was happening to my people.'
So he never wants a gun, until he needs one....

I think this goes to show how out of touch this guy is with reality. Every time some type of gun-related tragedy happens, people make a run on guns and ammo. His film will have no effect on the gun industry but rather galvanize the people in his corner as well as galvanize his opposition. This is a statement film for him to parade in front of his liberal Hollywood buddies to show that he's part of the club.

The movie supersize me did nothing to stop people from eating fast food. In fact i ate McD's on the way home.
I assume this will do much of the same.
