These have seen the last of my movie/DVD/CD/PPV/iTunes money, plus anytime their names come up in conversation, they'll get a "did you know?" from me:

Sylvester Stallone
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Sean Connery
Dany DeVito
Mark Wahlberg
Matt Damon
Kevin Bacon
Shania Twain

Sure, there's Uncle Ted, but it's extremely rare to find an A-lister (or B-lister) that's pro-gun, just like it's hard to find one that's conservative. It's the kiss of death to be conservative or pro-gun in Hollyweird, so I'm guessing such a list is a) VERY SHORT, or b) loaded with C-listers.

Johnny Depp is keen on teaching his children to handle guns.

The ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star, who learnt shooting at the age of six in Kentucky where he grew up, wants to pass on his experience to his kids.

“We would just go out and line up a bunch of cans and shoot with rifles, handguns and at times, submachine guns,” the Daily Star quoted him as saying.

“When I was a kid it was a controlled atmosphere, we weren’t shooting at humans – we were shooting at cans and bottles mostly. I will most certainly take my kids out for target practice,” he added

Since she was 4 years old, Longoria has been shooting guns and hunting on her family’s property in south Texas. Not only does she enjoy putting a round in the boiler room of a whitetail or feral hog, the Mexican-American beauty also takes great pride in being able to gut and skin her own game.

Once a teen punk, girl-power rock star, Lavigne has matured somewhat and her music turned to more mainstream fare. The 27-year-old singer has hunting listed as a favorite pastime on several websites and alledgedly would often take to the wilds around her home in Canada with her brother.

Escaping the hustle of celebrity is what it’s about for Russell, who enjoys roughing it on his own while hunting the backcountry in pursuit of elk.

Yes, indeed he is, but Joe Mantegna is also one of Hollywood’s hardest working actors with stage work, film credits and television roles stretching back to the 1960s—including “The Godfather Part III”—and he has a voiceover role in the just-released “Cars 2.” Mantegna is also a gun guy, a shooter who enjoys sporting clays and used to actively compete in IPSC, and a reloader. He was a friend of past NRA President Charlton Heston and even chaired the celebrity shoot named in Heston’s honor.
