Vince Vaughn: ‘Drugs Should Be Legal and People Should Have Guns’
SUMMARY
In a recent New York Times interview, actor Vince Vaughn reaffirmed his libertarian beliefs, advocating for the legalization of drugs and the right to own firearms. Vaughn explained, “I definitely am a believer more in allowing individuals to make choices. So I think that drugs should be legal and people should have guns.” He compared the arguments for drug use and gun ownership, stating, “Like the hippies would get high and say, We’re not hurting anyone, what’s the big deal? Then the hunters would say, we have these guns, and we have a right to defend ourselves, and what’s the big deal?” Vaughn’s views are shaped by his family’s working-class background, and he has consistently argued for personal freedoms, including his 2015 call for guns in schools to protect children.
