Macgyver always solves problems without using a gun! That is the best way! Use your brains instead of violence!

It makes the character more interesting when not using guns, but saying that MacGyver uses brains instead of violence is not what I have in mind..
Some of his traps are actually very violent (deadly even).

The truth hurts doesn't it moron?
RDA actually said when he was young he had a bad experience with guns therefore never uses them and he incorporated that into his MacGyver character!

He used a gun in the pilot
shareI remember in one episode involving a nuclear plant, he was on top of it using a revolver minus the cylinder as a makeshift wrench, and the voiceover went something like....
"I hate heights, and despise guns, so what the hell am I doing up here?"
MacGyver realized the world would be much better off without guns!
87 people killed EVERY DAY and 609 people killed every WEEK by guns! That's another 9/11 about every 4 weeks!

... then 10 years later on Stargate he wouldn't sleep without his hands wrapped around a P90 sub machine gun.
shareAt least on MacGyver he always solved problems without firing a shot!

Even though I strongly disagree with Mr. Anderson's view on firearms, I greatly respect him for the fact that on-screen, he generally practices what he preaches off-screen. Actors and other celebrities who call for strict gun laws and then go on-screen glamorizing the very latest Master-Blaster, strike me as hypocrites

Didn't Richard Dean Anderson frequently use a gun in the "Stargate" series? (I don't know. I never really watched the show.)My impression of Mr. Anderson was that he rarely used or handled firearms on screen. This is due to some incident involving guns that he had when he was younger. Like I said earlier, I don't agree with his position on firearms, but at least he is being true to his principles, and for that, he has my deepest respect. share
Liam Neeson agreed with Britain's handgun ban. He uses guns in movies but is usually law enforcement in those movies.

His character used a gun (he was Air Force special ops, had to) but also had a kid who'd shot himself with his service revolver, something the character never forgave himself for.
The view that some jobs require guns but they shouldn't be as easily available as they are is pretty common among gun control advocates. I don't think even the most zealous of them would call for disarming the military.
Fichtre! Voila qu'on me tue mes morts.
Imagine how much safer we'd be if ONLY trained, qualified law enforcement were allowed to have guns!

Imagine how much safer we'd be if ONLY trained, qualified law enforcement were allowed to have guns!The thread is drifting in the direction of a gun-control debate, and I won't be drawn into that. I was simply expressing my admiration of an actor for staying as true to his beliefs as he can.

sounds like you would enjoy prison..
shareMacGyver don't use that Bang-bang stuff. His mind and body became his weapon thought the show. he used things as weapons against the bad guys.
shareI remember the episode when he was a kid, him and friends went out in the woods and they were target shooting.. his one friend tried to shoot a bald eagles but shot another friend instead.. mickey then built a trailer out of a bike and carried his injured friend in the carriage to hospital.. thus why Mc didn't like guns..
