FYI Mel Gibson is an American. He was born in Peekskill, NY 01/03/56. He didn't move to Australia until age 12 and he has always maintained American citizenship. As for his views on gun control I hear he is as conservative about that as he is everything else - very right wing. The Handgun Control propaganda that showed up as set dressing in Lethal Weapon 2 was courtesy of Richard Donner and Danny Glover
