Sometimes celebrities have public relations experts who they pay to prep them on what to say and what not to say in public, and sometimes they just don't listen to them. In a cover story with British GQ, Vince Vaughn said that Americans should be able to carry guns anywhere, including but not limited to schools. 

"I support people having a gun in public full stop, not just in your home," he told the magazine. "We don't have the right to bear arms because of burglars; we have the right to bear arms to resist the supreme power of a corrupt and abusive government. It's not about duck hunting; it's about the ability of the individual."

Vaughn likened the freedom to carry a gun to the freedom of speech. He also said he supported allowing guns in schools.

"Of course. You think the politicians that run my country and your country don't have guns in the schools their kids go?" He asked. "We should be allowed the same rights."

"Banning guns is like banning forks," said Vaughn—if your goal is to stop people making fat. "Taking away guns, taking away drugs, the booze, it won't rid the world of criminality." 

Vaughn did not elaborate on why his vision of an American school sounds so much like a scene from Pulp Fiction.
