Midnight Cowboy actor continued. “These beings had been bullied, and they take out their disturbances, their grief, their horror on innocent souls.
It’s not about left, right. Guns, no guns.
This is about brains that are dysfunctioning. This is mental.”My soul cries for all lost (Part 1) pic.twitter.com/M19STgwOST— Jon Voight (@jonvoight) May 28, 2022Authorities have said the 18-year-old gunman legally purchased the AR-15 type firearm used in the Uvalde school shooting, and a second one like it last week, just after his birthday.
According to the Associated Press, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said the shooter had no known criminal or mental health history.Voight, who has appeared in movies such as Varsity Blues, National Treasure, Pearl Harbor, Transformers and many more, went on to defend gun rights in his video message.He said that what happened was “not about healthy human beings serving the country with arms to bear or even the right of this Constitution for bearing arms.
It is a right to use arms with proper purpose to defend one’s safety. We must not allow mental illness to take away our right to bear arms.”My soul cries for all lost (Part 2) pic.twitter.com/7kvzu6j8hu— Jon Voight (@jonvoight) May 28, 2022The actor then called out US lawmakers, adding that Americans are now living “in a world that has no remorse for wrongdoings because we’re being led by the worst in office”. Voight then suggested “there should be proper qualifications for gun ownership and proper testing”.“One should only own a gun if they’re qualified and schooled,” he said before concluding his message: “May God watch over all and bring comfort for this loss which may never heal, for each child was so precious, a gift.”Elsewhere, other celebrities
