Jim Carrey went and pissed off the gun-loving right over the weekend with a couple of tweets referencing assault rifles, the Newton massacre, and soulless gun owners.

Many anti-gun control activists have voiced their displeasure with the actor – and some seem to be surprised by the recent tweets.

The fact is, Jim Carrey has used his Twitter account (which boasts nearly 10 million followers) to voice his opinions on guns in America for quite some time.

Here’s what he said on Saturday:

Any1 who would run out to buy an assault rifle after the Newtown massacre has very little left in their body or soul worth protecting. ;^\

And then here’s his followup on Tuesday:

Yes, i agree with the ppl who argue that cars can be as deadly as guns but a car is a lot harder to get through the door of a classroom. ;^]

As you may expect, these comments angered some on the right. Fox Nation said that “‘Dumb and Dumber’ doesn’t begin to cover this one” and Red Alert Politics called it a “careless remark…rooted in the shallow, parroted talking points so commonly espoused by liberal elites.”

Turns out, Jim Carrey has a habit of tweeting about gun culture in America – so these tweets shouldn’t really surprise anyone.

Back in December:

The guns in our homes kill more innocent ppl than criminals, by far.In conn. massacre the guns belonged to his mom,who is also dead now. ;^\

The Bushmaster rifle is manufactured by Cerberus Capital Management’s Freedom Group. They are now selling this cancer to some other scum.

There will always be ppl with mental issues. It’s time to minimize the damage they can do by banning assault weapons. #dotherightthing

And shortly after the shooting at the movie theater in Aurora, Colorado:

My love to the victims in Colorado. The kid ws sick bt u who can still support automatic weapon sales r the real maniacs in this country.

We may not agree on gun control but we can all agree to wish those folks some comfort and healing. That’s all that matters right now.
