Hollywood has undoubtedly shaped our values in some ways and even influenced our career paths. Once actors portray an individual we worship or create a movie we’re enamored with, they’re given near God-like status in our culture and often use that power to leverage causes they feel are justified — sometimes at the expense of our rights. Those in the industry who don’t march in that parade have quickly found themselves blacklisted.

Nowadays it seems celebrities are lining up around the equator to take a swipe at the Second Amendment. According to a documentary on the making of Aliens, Sigourney Weaver said, “It’s actually hard for me morally to justify being in a film with so many guns. I just find it very upsetting ... I give money to anti-gun legislation.” Apparently, droves of Hollywood’s elite think it’s OK to portray gun-wielding heroes on the screen and collect a paycheck pretending to be what they all seem to hate, yet they vilify the firearms industry, as part of the clique that keeps them employed.

Carly Schroeder has practically grown up in Tinseltown. After 25 years of both starring and supporting roles on television and the silver screen, she decided to pursue something else. Not for more money, not for publicity, and not because she had no other options. She did it solely because she wanted to do something that mattered and was an extension of her values. What does Hollywood have to say about this? Who cares?
