That's apparently a newsworthy tidbit for followers of celebrity tabloid gossipmongers.  Showbiz Spy's  Richard Head  tells readers  Gibson "has admitted he has a dangerous weapon hidden away in his home in case an intruder breaks in during the night and puts his family’s lives at risk."

 Received via email:  To: ​ Hamlin, Douglas ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Mon 4/21/2025 8:51 AM To the National Rifle Association, What is the National Rifle Association?

“Nobody wants to take your guns.”

 Compiled by WarOnGuns Correspondent Scott J Sen Diane Feinstein (1995): “If I could’ve gotten [sic] 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an OUTRIGHT ban, picking up every one of them, ‘Mr. and Mrs. America, turn ‘em [sic] all in’, I would’ve done it. I could not do that. The votes weren't here.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffI-tWh37UY Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke (September 12, 2019): "Hell yes, we're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW1HPoqqB_8 "...David Muir asked O'Rourke: "Are you proposing taking away their guns?" O'Rourke answered, "Hell, yes, we're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47."" https://www.npr.org/2019/09/12/760386808/orourke-promises-to-take-your-ar-15-but-americans-are-split-on-buybacks Colorado State Capitol (June 5, 2023): "Protestors stage sit-in at the state Capitol to demand all-out gun ban…" Protestor sign:  "SAVE A 2n...
