Curtis also came under fire for her stance on firearms. Fox News
reported on Curtis’ stance in favor of gun control stating, “But
Curtis’s on-screen actions stand in contrast to her real-life
persona as an advocate for gun control — one of several Hollywood
actors who use firearms in their films while preaching against them
away from the set.”
Curtis spoke with USA Today about her views on gun control. Curtis
says:
“I’m vocal about common sense gun safety and gun laws. For instance,
I fully support an assault weapon ban. I fully support a bump stock
ban. Anything that can turn a not-automatic weapon into an automatic
weapon ban. But I fully support the Bill of Rights. And fully
support the Second Amendment. And have absolutely no problem with
people owning firearms if they have been trained, licensed, a
background check has been conducted, a pause button has been pushed
to give time for that process to get placed, and they have to renew
their license just like we do with automobiles – which are weapons
also.”
Not only did Curtis express her stance on gun control, but she also
talked about how it actually affected Halloween.
“They knew that Laurie was going to be someone who used firearms.
And I think there were myriad types of firearms that could have been
used in the movie. I was very clear with the filmmakers that she
used the weapons (that) were intended for self-defense for her and
her family.”
Interestingly enough, while Curtis states that people should have a
license to use a firearm, her character in the film, Laurie Strode,
hands out her firearms to her daughter and granddaughter without
either of them having a license or having any kind of training with
a firearm.
Curtis explains that Strode arms her progeny with firearms that are
stored behind a padlocked cabinet, “and then very specifically says
what each weapon does and why you would choose that weapon in self-
defense.” Lucky they don’t need a license in Halloween or they might
end up easy victims for Michael Meyers.
Jamie Lee Curtis goes on to say if she was a pacifist actor she
wouldn’t get work in Hollywood:
“I’m an actress who’s in slasher movies. I have to be responsible
for my own personal choices in my own personal life. But I am an
actor for hire. And honestly, if I had made my career as a pacifist
actor, I would never have worked, ever.”
She continues:
“But I have always been proud to represent women who fight back and
fight back with intelligence, cunning and creativity, and who fight
for their lives and their families’ lives.”
