Here's an article for you . . . Kinda sad really.

New Bond: I hate guns
By This is London
25 October 2005
Daniel Craig will have a problem playing the new James Bond - because he hates guns.

The actor will wield 007's famous Walther PPK in the movie Casino Royale.

But he revealed in OK! magazine: "I hate handguns. Handguns are used to shoot people and as long as they are around, people will shoot each other.

"That's a simple fact. I've seen a bullet wound and it was a mess. It was on a shoot and it scared me. Bullets have a nasty habit of finding their target and that's what's scary about them."

Nor does the 37-year-old share Bond's love of Martinis shaken and stirred.

"I love a Martini straight up. I don't think anybody makes a Martini stirred any more," he said.

Craig was unveiled earlier this month as the successor to Pierce Brosnan.
He will play a tougher, grittier 007 in Casino Royale, which is based on Ian Fleming's first Bond book.

The movie is due for release in November next year.

Craig is not the first Bond to reveal a hatred of guns.

Roger Moore, who played the superspy from 1973 to 1985, said after quitting the role that he hated "that awful pose" of Bond with his gun which has become an iconic movie image.

The actor later became an ambassador for children's charity Unicef and declared: "Today I am completely opposed to small arms and what they can do to children. I played every role tongue-in-cheek because I don't really believe in that sort of hero. I don't like guns."

I don't think this guy is going to make it as the new James Bond. He's too scruffy looking for one thing. He may not like guns but like most Hollyweird types he is willing to make millions from using them in pictures, then turn around and tell us peasants how guns are bad.

Well - he must have Brady genes! Lost cause.

Typical whingeing, whining, gut emotion pathetic statement - one of many we get so used to hearing. How to be simplistic - and get it so wrong.

Typical hypocrite. Another movie/franchise that I won't support.

Further thought has me thinking - yes - HYPOCRITE.

If this guy is so anti gun then let him stay with his conscience (if that is the word for such absurdity) and NOT take the part . At least then he'd be behaving with the strength of his convictions - instead of being lured only by the mighty dollar.

I might almost respect that.

The new guy is pro-gun ... no, really..........

Well, that's another reason not to bother seeing his Bond movie, like the blond hair wasn't enough!
