It's one of those issues you can't help but have an opinion on: gun control. Whether you support stricter firearms laws or believe they impede your Constitutional rights (or end up somewhere in between), everyone has a stance on the matter of guns. That includes celebrities, who have come down firmly on both sides of this intense debate. President Obama's historic statement on increased gun control and stricter firearms laws inspired passionate responses from both sides of this issue. See where your favorite stars stand on the question of gun control--and what they have to say about this important topic.

Mark Ruffalo: Pro Gun Control
 

The Avengers actor is a longtime political activist who has devoted his attention to numerous issues, from global warming to fracking. Gun control has been a major focus of Ruffalo's for some time, and the actor has been a strident supporter of stricter firearms regulations.

Miranda Lambert: Gun Owner
 

The country singer (and ex of Blake Shelton) has a pretty hefty firearms collection, and knows her way around a gun. After receiving death threats from a fan, Lambert became invested in ensuring her own safety by learning how to use and carry a concealed weapon.

Amy Schumer: Pro Gun Control
 

The comedian and actress has never been a fan of firearms, but tragic events made the issue personal: during a screening of her film Trainwreck in Louisiana, two people were killed and another nine injured by a lone gunman. The perpetrator committed suicide before he could be apprehended by police. Galvanized by this incident, Schumer joined forces with her cousin Senator Chuck Schumer of New York to advocate for greater gun control.

Johnny Depp: Gun Owner
 

The Oscar-nominated actor (and frequent Tim Burton collaborator) has numerous strange collections, including one comprised of fake mustaches. But the one that gets the most frequent use is his extensive gun collection; the actor has long enjoyed target practice with friends and family, including late author (and fellow gun enthusiast) Hunter S. Thompson.

Rashida Jones: Pro Gun Control
 

The hilarious star of Parks and Rec and the highly anticipated Angie Tribeca has been a strident supporter of gun control and stricter laws surrounding firearms. She applauded President Obama's vow to intensify background checks on potential gun owners, and has personally appeared at many anti-gun events.

Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie: Gun Owners
 

Longtime gun owner Brad Pitt has always been very passionate about using firearms to protect himself and his family. And he's not alone; wife Angelina Jolie has asserted that the couple has weapons to keep their children safe. She's also the proud owner of an extensive and eclectic knife collection, and knows how to use them. According to some sources, Pitt even gifted Jolie with a $400,000 shooting range as a wedding gift, so the couple could have some quality time bonding and working on their aim.
