Joe Mantegna Talks 2A With CRPA TV

April 16, 2026

Joe Mantegna is no stranger to Hollywood. His work in theater, television, and film spans over half a century now. And he’s certainly aware of the hyper-political environment pervasive not only in our entertainment but seemingly every aspect of our daily lives.

But as the esteemed star shared with host Kevin Small on the latest installment of CRPA TV, the Second Amendment rises above partisan bickering. Mantegna’s foundational view on gun rights starts with the prominence afforded by the Bill of Rights.

“There’s a reason they (the founding fathers) made it #2. To protect #1…and everything else,” he exclaims in the interview. Well said indeed Mr. Mantegna!
