Not The Onion! That’s right, Joe Biden, tapped to head a task force on gun control (no word on Beer Summit yet) by President Obama, is meeting with noted experts in Hollywood. He’s meeting with some other people first.
On gun violence, Carney says VP Biden will meet with NRA and other gun owner groups as part of drafting recommendations to the president.

Also fun? The highly mockable celebri-meeting.
WH says another Biden meeting this week on the task force will involve representatives of entertainment and video game industries

Ah, it’s reminiscent of the time President Obama met with “young Hollywood,” noted experts on green energy.
There was prescience among happpy warriors, once again!

Hopefully Obama brings some of his biggest Hollywood supporters into the discussion so they can help think of a few ways to help change a “culture that glorifies guns and violence.” I wonder what those ideas would be?
Heh. Celebrities pitifully and shamelessly “demanded a plan.” They got … Joe Biden. Oh, our aching sides!

Heh. Pander, canoodle and schmooze like the wind! Like his boss, he is a man of the people. Hipster and swanky people, but still.
Twitter users point out celebrity hypocrisy.
@piersmorgan is a Hollywood liberal puppet man. Screams about guns laws, but apparantly gun violence in movies is OK. #STFU

I dare any Hollywood "against guns nut" actor 2 take the pledge of not ever making movie that has a gun in it…bet it would be a short list

Yep. Start with Michael Moore, the anti-gun zealot who just loves shoot-em-up films. Take a gander at some of his other self-proclaimed favorite movies.
More all-time favorites: Everyone Says I Love You, Nashville, Lawrence of Arabia, Stardust Memories, Les Miserables(1995), The Big Lebowski

We wonder who will attend this meeting? Perhaps celebri-ghouls from The Red Hot Chili Peppers, who want to ban all guns and change The Constitution? Or, Michael Ian Black who whined about “Founding Father fetishization.” Maybe Vince Neil, who hates guns but doesn’t mind drunk driving? Cher and her Walmart-boycotting mumblings might be a good choice. Or, any of the celebs who tried to gin up outrage over the NRA’s presser.
The whole anti guns in #America debated by #Hollywood is a #joke they have #NO creditability #tcot #p2

Bingo. But when did that ever stop The Gaffe-Man Biden?
