VIDEO : Martin Scorsese Backs Plan to Destroy Real Guns When Filming Fake Ones

Martin Scorsese has added his support to a new idea by a British artist who wants film-makers to destroy real guns every time fake ones are used on screen.
The plan, entitled the Gun Neutral campaign, was created by Carl McCrow, who is an executive producer on a film that Scorsese is also producing. Tomorrow, starring Stephen Fry, is a drama about a soldier with PTSD, and McCrow?s plan was implemented throughout its production.
McCrow said to The Independent, ?I?m really pleased. If we can set this as a standard, then who knows how many lives could be saved. The simple fact is that there are too many guns and they ruin people?s lives every day.?
McCrow has likened the campaign to carbon-offsetting schemes that see trees planted or other environmental investment made in response to activity that threatens global wellbeing. He wants film producers to donate to his charity One Less Gun, which aims at destroying weapons found in war zones.
