Someone mixed celebrity statements against guns with movie clips of them using guns. The video points out the absurdity of people who glorify gun violence in cinematography yet in the same breath come out against guns.
If you were REALLY that committed to stopping gun violence, then you'd turn down any role that glorifies gun violence right? Not that it would solve the problem, but at least you could say you were not contributing to the problem.
But none of these actors/actresses are going to do that, for obvious reasons (cha-ching... money).
This is one of those cases where the PR makes sense - denouncement of gun violence - but no one took the time to think about the fact that these people make millions glorifying gun violence, which ipso facto makes them not the best spokespersons.
They should have done this using musicians, sports figures and tv actors (from comedy sitcoms perhaps). At least then there wouldn't be such a glaring hypocritical element to the message.
