Conservatives slammed left-of-center gun control activist Matthew McConaughey following his performance at the White House Tuesday afternoon in which he tried to persuade the American people to give into the gun control measures that Democrats are trying to pass.
The remarks from McConaughey comes after the recent tragedy in Uvalde, Texas, which is McConaughey’s home town, where an 18-year-old Hispanic male murdered 19 children at Robb Elementary School. The attacker was able to obtain his weapons despite a history of violence toward people and animals.
“We need background checks,” McConaughey said, even though the Uvalde attacker passed a background check, “we need to raise the minimum age to purchase an AR-15 rifle to 21, we need a waiting period for those rifles, we need red flag laws and consequences for those who abuse them.”
McConaughey has a history of calling for extreme gun control measures, including supporting gun bans.

The 2nd is NOT UP FOR DISCUSSION- I'm a LAW ABIDING CITIZEN- UNTIL DIFFERENT- I'LL KEEP MY GUN'S-!!! and for THE POLITICIAN'S WILLING TO GIVE MY RIGHTS AWAY, YOUR A DISGRACE and A NO VOTE or $UPPORT-!!! that's all
Hey Joe and the rest of you agenda driven democrat morons,
Apparently you’re understanding of the 2nd amendment has been distorted by the many years of indoctrination and the endless barrage of bullshit from the mainstream propaganda machine.
Just for your edification: The 2nd amendment makes no mention of hunting rights and it doesn’t even deal with the people’s right to protect their home against intruders.
Its purpose is to enable the citizens of America to protect themselves from people just like YOU.
Well said Thomas!
Well at least Ohio is doing something smart, I understand they passed a law that teachers can carry guns
It's been passed and sent to Dewine. We will see.
How will they get around the Federal Law making Schools gun-free zones?
I don't care what any phony "activist" says, the 2nd Amendment says "shall not be infringed" but the political ruling class considers themselves our rulers and the Constitution irrelevant!!!!!!!!!!
Add another ASSHOLE to the list of America’s enemies.
Firearms are not the problem... criminals and radicalized individuals are the problems. DIsarming the law-abiding makes it easier for the armed criminal to commit such atrocities. Gun-free zones like public schools are easy targets for armed radials. They know our children and their teachers are unarmed and that law enforcement officers have been banned from carrying weapons into many of our public schools... setting them up as targets for radicalized nut cases.
Getting rid of firearms will not disarm the criminal element... Criminals will secure a weapon illegally... and with the assurances that the civil population is no longer armed, they will be encouraged to rampage thru society... murdering hundreds at will.

“We can't save every life, but my God, shouldn't we try? said Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas. “Take note of who is with you and who is not."
Fact: In 1985 then Senator Joe Biden (D-DE) stated quote: "I am convinced that a criminal who wants a firearm can get one through illegal, untraceable, unregistered sources, with or without gun control."
Fact: In 1990 then Senator Joe Biden (D-DE) authored the Gun Free School Zone Act. And yet we see that these 'gun free zones' are where most of these heinous crimes take place.
Fact: In June 2022 Republicans, sent a Bill to vote that would have provided School funding for: Police / Armed guard(s), Single point of entry & Teacher training. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) killed it in favor of Gun Bans.
Fact: The local, state and federal Gun Laws in effect to detect or deter "mass shooters" actually worked as defined. Note: The buyers only became criminals after THEIR actions resulted in mass shootings! So, what law do you propose that will detect someone's future intent to do harm?
Fact: Democrats want us to believe that people / professional criminals included who are willing to ignore laws against rape, torture, kidnapping, robbery, theft, and murder will MAGICALLY obey a law which prohibits them from owning a firearm”.
Fact: The Democrats "Assault Weapon" Ban actually includes 167 other semi-automatic rifles as well and Biden just added all semi-automatic Pistols and any weapon chambered in 9mm.
Fact: It's not about protecting our kids or school safety... Nope. It's about the Democrats disarming US Citizens!
Historic Fact: Governments have disarmed and executed over 262 million of their own people in the 20th Century. So, please tell me again why Governments should be the only one with guns?
