U.S.A. – -(Ammoland.com)- “Sylvester Stallone gets back to his roots with explosive new trailer for ‘Rambo: Last Blood’,” Agence France-Presse reports on the fifth installment in the series, scheduled for a September release. “Still in top shape at 73, Stallone’s muscles are put to good use to save the life of his friend’s daughter, who’s been kidnapped by a Mexican drug cartel.”
It won’t just be his muscles put to use, but plenty of weapons, including guns. How he’ll keep and bear them in Mexico without violating almost as many gun laws as ATF’s Phoenix Field Division is left unstated in what looks to be a nonstop blood orgy with first-rate Hollywood production values.
Those are the only first-rate values we’ll see out of a guy who has attained a ludicrous fortune through cinematic “gun violence,” all the while claiming the right for himself while undermining yours. Stallone’s total in-your-face hypocrisy on the matter makes it fair to ask why any gun owner rights advocate would give him another dime.
“Until America, door to door, takes every handgun, this is what you’re gonna have,” Stallone declared after comedian Phil Hartman was murdered by his wife. It wasn’t just an observation, it was a recommendation:
“It’s pathetic. It really is pathetic. It’s sad. We’re living in the Dark Ages over there. It has to be stopped, and someone really has to go on the line, a certain dauntless political figure, and say, ‘It’s ending, it’s over, all bets are off.’ It’s not 200 years ago, we don’t need this anymore, and the rest of the world doesn’t have it. Why should we?”
That pretend warrior Stallone should call on government raids to disarm millions of real veterans and the rest of his countrymen goes beyond hypocritical. It’s contemptible. And he didn’t stop there.
Not only are there additional anti-Second Amendment quotes, but also photos of Stallone pumping his fist at a Brady Center event in Los Angeles. Oh, and did I mention he was issued one of those “may issue” (meaning “may not” to you and me) Los Angeles concealed carry permits?
Speaking of pumping his fist, Stallone “joked” about “injecting” a former girlfriend with his. That’s some “action hero.” And then there were multiple allegations of sexual abuse, many with corroborating evidence that merit a consistent #MeToo treatment, especially from all those #BelieveWomen “progressives” who also share Stallone’s anti-gun sentiments.
Talk about red flags, and over the course of years. Imagine the law enforcement response — as demanded by Stallone’s fellow travelers in forced citizen disarmament — if such charges were leveled against you.
Why gun owners who care about their rights would pay top dollar to reward someone who wants to see them stripped of their birthright is a question only they can answer, especially when major theater chains are “gun-free zones.” But that hardly matters to someone who, based on his own words and actions, considers his fans to be “the expendables”…

WOW i am disappointed… but not really, the most prominent anti gunners always seem to be hypocrites. they run around with their armed security force and live in secure buildings or compounds all the while telling us regular people we don’t need to be armed. go figure. i served in the navy first then the army, went to Iraq where the ground soaked up a good amount of my blood. i served to uphold the constitution of the United States from all enemies foreign and domestic. i truly believe once the 2nd amendment to the Constitution is gone then the… Read more »
I don’t think I’ve seen any of the Rambo, or in Sly’s case Bimbo, movies other then “First Blood.”
I don’t watch any Liam Neelson movies either.
I stopped watching all movies with known antigunners.
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!
I hadn’t the slightest idea that Stallone was such a blatantly hypocritical guns-for-me-but-not-for-thee, hollyweird elite, satchel of richards! I loved the Rambo series, however after finding all this out, I will DEFINITELY NOT be supporting his past, present, or future ventures any longer. Perhaps Tom Selleck could give Wambo a much-needed lesson on the non-mutual exclusivities of being an actor AND pro-gun, simultaneously?! Its painfully obvious that if anyone’s ever been in desperate need of such a lesson, its Stallone, and A.S.A.P!
I did not know until I read this article that Stallone was such a pansy. I haven’t been to a movie in several years because I haven’t felt compelled to support any of holliewierd and I have survived just as well without it, or taking the chance of getting shot in a theater. I do know that I would not support this snowflake ever again. He is a follower of the actors anti campaign and a snowflake.
Have not watched a Stallone movie in decades, won’t start now. He’s a Hollywood elitist hypocrite and not worth my time.
I have been boycotting his movies (if I have to pay to see them) for years…. I can wait to watch it for free so no royalties for the hypocrite!
Well, this is sad, disappointing and anti-freedom and liberty. He does not represent a majority but unfortunately, his celebrity voice is magnified and used to create the illusion that he is speaking for all of us. He is not. I will not support any of his films. Wake up America, “banning” or confiscating guns will NEVER make guns go away or will it make us safer. The OPPOSITE will happen: innocent law abiding citizens will be robbed, raped and killed at an evermore alarming rate.
How do you call out these hypocrites when they are so removed from the normal guy on the street. They don’t care what happens as long as they get their money and can spend it. They consider themselves to be the elite just like the oligarchs of Russia. The rest of us are the peons who are here to service them.
Isn’t it funny that actors in Hollywood want to take Firearms away from people?…They make gazillions of dollars making shooting and killing people appear to be stylish and fun…They have desensitized and violently motivated an entire generation…If it wasn’t for guns Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Cruise and some other action Stars wouldn’t exist… (Schwarzenegger was the only one that had the balls to join the military)..They owe our second amendment everything… As a matter of fact, action movies involving guns is the main reason Hollywood exist… Hollywood would fade out if it had to depend on chick flicks alone… Maybe I’ll watch… Read more »
