At the White House, Matthew McConaughey Calls for Politicians to Seize ‘Window of Opportunity’ for Gun Control

Actor Matthew McConaughey appeared at the White House press briefing on Tuesday, endorsing a series of gun control proposals that coincided with some of President Joe Biden’s radical agenda.

“As I said, this moment is different,” McConaughey said while appearing at the White House press briefing room. “We are in a window of opportunity right now that we have not been in before. A window in where it seems like real change — real change can happen.”

McConaughey said he spent time with the victims and families of the mass school shooting in his hometown of Uvalde, Texas last week that killed 19 children and two adults.

“How can the loss of these lives matter?” McConaughey asked reporters. “While we honor and acknowledge the victims, we need to recognize that this time, seems like something else is different.”

McConaughey grew emotional as he shared the stories of the children who were shot and killed during a mass shooting at an elementary school at his hometown of Uvalde, Texas, at points tearing up and slapping the podium.

He specifically called out the AR-15 rifle for mutilating the bodies of the children leaving them “not only dead but hollow.”

McConaughey said he was bringing a message from the people of his hometown.

“We want secure and safe schools and we want gun laws that won’t make it so easy for the bad guys to get these damn guns,” he said.

He also told reporters to “restrain sensationalized media coverage” of mass shootings.

“Responsible gun owners are fed up with the Second Amendment being abused and hijacked by some deranged individuals,” he said, calling more gun laws a “step forward” to protecting gun rights.

He is just As crazy as Biden and Kamala. Except he should know better because he’s an actor not a politician.

"Window of opportunity" for an emotional, knee-jerk reaction that punishes the innocent and rewards the guilty, because that's what government does.


REPEAL THE GUN-FREE SCHOOL ZONE ACT OF 1990


FACT: Guns prevent an estimated 2.5 million crimes a year or 6,849 every day. 98+% of the time the gun is not fired and no blood (including the criminal’s) is shed.

Actors and politicians both stand up in public and vomit forth words written for them by other people.

I guess this stunt can be attributed to his considering entering politics. Personally I prefer he just shut up and act!

McConaughey is being played for a fool. What good is it for kids to live if they end up with CommieRat boots on their necks for the rest of their lives?

I wouldn’t trust the lives of MY children to live under the yoke of the CommieRats. Just look around at the monumental mess they have already made of things. Matt, you are just not too bright. . . .
