Jerry Lewis Was Packin’ Heat (Maybe)

In the weirdest news of the morning, the famed Jerry Lewis was found trying to bring a gun in his carry-on bag at the Las Vegas airport late last week. The gun was apparently a small .22-caliber handgun although
Lewis’s manager, Claudia Marghilano, said the gun was a prop that could not be fired, and insisted the 82-year-old did not know it had been in his bag.
Either way - this totally gives me free reign to 1) point you in the direction of our Top 10 Films that Promote Gun Control list and 2) to post Jerry Lewis videos!!! One is below (given the Dark Knight hoopla it seemed appropriate) and more after the jump.

wow he rocks! that is an amazing almost-one-take scene with the typewriter. i once tried to bring a toy gun onto a plane. not a a good idea. i regretted it.
So, that “Jerry’s Kids” thing is just a front for his real terrorist outfit. Great work, Vegas crimestoppers! You guys really know your stuff. Just think what he could have done if he had been allowed to board that plane! He wasn’t lying when he said he just used that gun in his “act”. What next, Bill Cosby with a Bic lighter? Steve Martin with liquid mouthwash? or even worse… leaflets left on the plane and written by George Carlin! Oh, dear, when will the madness ever stop?!
