Jim Carrey apologizes to assault rifle owners

Jim Carrey has apologized for a Twitter rant in which he trashed people who support the sale of automatic weapons. In March, the 51-year-old actor took to Twitter with a tirade about gun control, claiming its opponents are “heartless motherf***ers unwilling 2 bend 4 the safety of our kids.” On Sunday, he once again used social media as his platform, this time to apologize for his use of inappropriate language. He tweeted: “Asslt rifle fans,I do not agree wth u,nor do I fear u but I do love u and I’m sorry tht in my outrage I called you names.That was wrong.” This comes just two weeks after the actor publicly denounced the level of violence exhibited in his forthcoming action film, Kick-Ass 2. Although he expressed remorse for the name-calling, he assured that his view on gun control will remain the same. “Btw I don’t need a crisis mgr, just a conscience. Calling ppl names is inappropriate but my position on assault weapons hasn’t changed,” he added. ~Alfonso Espina
