Start with the societal and cultural problems, as well as the mental health problems) that easily have been shown to lead to many of these acts, Mr. McConaughey, yeah, or you just going to spout out that we need more gun laws or that guns be entirely removed (you know, that our rights have allowed us to carry since 1776?!

Yes, next time a pro-abortionist talks about gun control tell them that’s like a pro-life person trying to ban forceps producers in an attempt to curtail abortion - as if a Dr. wouldn’t be able to murder babies in the womb if they didn’t have broad access to the “tool” - obviously, they’d just find another way.

They’ve murdered way more children with a “tool” that doesn’t not have a “high capacity magazine” than any school/mass shooter has which just proves that murder is not a problem of what is in the HAND but rather what is in the HEART.

It’s just ridiculous.

I guess it’s too much for people to figure out that it’s the schools that are the problem, here.

Kids haven’t been learning for decades. Now, they’re not safe. The schools are working on training them to hate their own parents so that soon, the parents won’t be safe.

But, I guess it’s all “free” and unionized, so it must be great.

"what small sacrifices can we individually take today, to preserve a healthier and safer nation."

I know.! Let's give up fyntenal, crack and meth... Just think how many lives and how much money we'll save..

Of course, that would mean one hell of a loss of income for the democrats but, maybe they could make up the difference by rolling drunks....

America worships violence. We need to remove the glorification of violence from films, tv shows, and video games. Rap music must cease.

Let’s start there and give it a generation.

Hollywood won’t do this because violence makes them money. Their mansions are built from the blood of our citizens.

That word salad was gun grabbin’ talk all wrapped in emotion. You may want you gun but you don’t need it talk.

I wish people took the time to really think about all aspects of what they are calling for before speaking.

Notice how these celebrities and sports figures and politicians come out and say “take action” but never say what that action is?

Husband and I are gun owners. Husband and I taught Hunter safety program for years. I think we should raise the age of gun purchase to 21. You have to be 21 to get booze but you can buy AK-47, body armour, guns, ammo at 18. All of these school shootings have been 18 years and under.

I do realize that they will find a way to buy from someone else, black market, etc. But at least start at making it 21.

Also, the school, kids, friends, parents knew this kid had problems. He should have been followed online, reported to police put on a watch list.

All the shooters had issues for many years.

Yeah. He couldn’t actually say it. I think his inner Texan is at war with his outer hollywood.

He’s not a bright guy, but at least he’s trying to think.

I like him as an actor but he isn’t as deep as he thinks he is.

He wants you to know that he’s a Christian but he agrees with the Hollywood Left on everything; he “might” be a Republican, but only if he can be one without having to publicly disagree with anyone in the Hollywood Left. He threads the needle by never saying exactly what he means, calls for people to be nice without actually proposing a specific action.

Gutless. I think he has political ambitions but he hasn’t decided what he stands for other than being nice.

Anyway. I don’t care what he has to say, I just like to watch double digit IQ people who read other people’s lines for a living, try and form a coherent thought on their own. It’s interesting to watch. Like animals in a zoo, it’s sad.

I don’t think you should have to be 21 to buy booze. You can send 18 year olds off to war but they can’t have a beer?

He toyed with running for Governor of Texas as a Democrat but decided against doing that so we got Beto the fake Mexican running and about to be trounced more than George P Bush did for Attorney General in the recent primary, losing 68-32%. The Joe Cool actor (yes one of his most stupid movies) is pretty light in the load in his cabeza. He sounds like the libs I’ve engaged with on FB who keep saying “we need legislation to stop this!” but have no workable legal solutions. Knee jerk, feel good legislation is always their answer.

An actor that goes off-script is always a maroon.
