Vince Vaughn is providing some ammunition to the debate over guns in schools.

The “True Detective” star told the British GQ that he supports allowing guns in schools as deterrent against the mass shootings that have plagued the U.S. in recent years — such as the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School that left 20 children and six staff members dead.

“Banning guns is like banning forks in an attempt to stop making people fat,” he told GQ UK. “Taking away guns, taking away drugs, the booze, it won’t rid the world of criminality.”

Vaughn, 45, added that the mass shootings have generally “only happened in places that don’t allow guns.”

The reason people who are “sick in the head” gravitate towards schools is because it is illegal to have guns on campus, which makes for ripe, low-risk targets, he said.

“It’s well known that the greatest defense against an intruder is the sound of a gun hammer being pulled back,” he told the men’s magazine.
