Not just now; perhaps a better word is “again.” Vice President Biden and his “task force” already hypocritically met with noted experts from Hollyweird. No photo op, though!
Now, more B-listers, including comedian and actor Chris Rock, head to Capitol Hill.

More from Politico:
Comedian Chris Rock, long outspoken about the issues of guns in American culture, is heading to Capitol Hill on Wednesday to support President Barack Obama’s new gun control package in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., shootings.
Rock, along with singer Tony Bennett, actress Amanda Peet, actor Adam Scott and actress Anna Deavere Smith will join a coalition featuring Rep. Mike Thompson, D-Calif., Mayors Against Illegal Guns and the Law Center to Prevent Violence at a press conference in the U.S. Capitol.
Oh, well. Long outspoken. Case closed! He’s totally fit to help shape freedom-grabbing policy!
RT @CamEdwards Chris Rock to stump for gun control on Capitol Hill. The debate gets less serious by the day. http… http://t.co/JaFugz2Z

Less serious, indeed. Not only is the whole celebri-policy idea patently absurd, but Chris Rock? Hey, why don’t they ask him about the time he shoved Jason Mattera’s camerawoman? Or about the time he shamefully celebrated Independence Day by slamming it as “Happy white peoples independence day”?

Less serious and even more hypocritical, as citizens on Twitter rightly point out.

Chris Rock to Hill for gun control plan-speaks volumns. I always wonder what would Chris Rock think before I form an opinion or take a stand

Chris Rock is boarding a plane to DC to push the King's gun agenda. Sources say the plane will feature Lethal Weapon 4, starring Chris Rock

I remember that episode on MTV when Chris Rock bought a bunch of rap CDs that glorify guns and gangster shit.
— Killian E. Coyote (@killpundit) February 5, 2013
He specifically went back to the store to get the unedited versions because he had mistakenly bought the clean versions. Gangster for you!
— Killian E. Coyote (@killpundit) February 5, 2013
Chris Rock made a list of the best rap albums. I wonder if any of them glorify guns and gangster shit? Another fucking phony.

I assure you that not one of those albums glorifies guns or gangster shit AT ALL. Chris Rock's character is beyond question.
— Killian E. Coyote (@killpundit) February 5, 2013
Even tho Chris Rock's top rap album is an N.W.A. album that completely glorifies guns & gangster shit doesn't make him a dishonest hypocrite
— Killian E. Coyote (@killpundit) February 5, 2013
No credibility. A joke and political theater, as always. That’s why President Obama always needs actors.
