Don't know about Connery's politics, but I like his movies . . . same for Liam Neeson . . . I'm pretty sure he is a liberal, but I like his movies. Same for Matt Damon (Bourne series) and Tom Hanks.
Liked him in a lot of films. Never heard he was an anti, 'specially since his gun play earned him a living. Some of my favorites:
The Longest Day All the Bond films The Hill Murder on the Orient Express Robin Hood A Bridge Too Far Indiana Jones The Untouchables Highlander Hunt For Red October Finding Forrester The Rock The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
He is the ONLY James Bond in my book. Although Pierce Bronson wasn’t bad. My favorite Sean Connery movie role was in “The Untouchables” where he played the tough ole Irish Cop helping to bring down Capone. His best line was “Thus Endith the Lesson”
Connery long ago came out as very anti-guns and anti-Second Amendment.
A very wealthy, entertaining actor, but very left wing. Comes from Ireland, you know, so what would you expect from an actor from Ireland?

Close, he's Scottish.
Thanks. I stand corrected. Perhaps Connery addled his brain while in Scotland gorging on too much of that haggis stuff. Last time I was there and ate some, I knew why the Scots lost at Culloden. They couldn't fight because of bloated, bilious bellies. Bad stuff.
They are all anti guns and according to history the Scots are descendants of the Irish. They make good beer and whiskey and like fighting, at least they got some class.
While Connery was doing James Bond, Dean Martin made several movies where he played super spy Matt Helm. They were spoofs on 007 with gadgetry and spy stuff way beyond what Bond did. They were pretty funny.

............... The indigenous people of Scotland, known as the Picts, were believed to have originally come from the Scandinavian area of the world. The Picts were the ones who halted the Roman Empires expansion into that part of the world. The Pictish tribes eventually got bred out of existence with others who eventually wound up in what was to become Scotland. But they're definitely anti-gun........ Couple years ago Scotland even mandated gun registration for air rifles and had an amnesty period to either turn in or register your air gun.
I'm inclined to agree. If you read Casino Royale, the book not the movies, Bond is described as somewhat dark and moody. Dalton was the only one who portrayed bond as such. For the record, EVERY actor who has played James Bond so far has been very anti-gun. Another bit of trivia, seems Rodger Moore was slightly upset when he learned one of the women he made love to in one of the movies was a transgender. Google Tula for the whole story. Paul B.
