Who is there is not the topic of this thread. The speech is the topic. If you don't want to know what is in it for any reason, that is on you. You probably will not be able to turn on the TV without hearing about it. I watched live on FoxNews. Brett will be interviewing tonight.Sorry but just as bands refused to play at Trump events, dress makers refused to make gowns for First Lady Melania, just as stations refused to carry Trump's speeches, I have a total blackout on all things coming out of the White House now especially from Hollywood flakes, until we get an actual, real, bonafide elected president and leader in the White House who has the People's backs.
We already have back round checks and long waiting periods. The back round checks did not get this shooter because he did not have record nor was in an institution. most gun owners say if you raise the age for gun owning to 21 then you do it for entering the military. That's how ridiculous it is. No on e is saying what to do about the criminals.The Money Shot...
"We need background checks," he said from the lectern. "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."
Ten pounds of Gun Grabber stuffed into a five pound sack.
then make it age to 21 to get into the military too. people wan t their cake and eat it too.We already have background checks.
A state that has a drinking age of 21 could also apply that to the purchase of an AR-15 type.
Some states already have red flag laws but they need to be done in a judicial setting and not by some bureaucrats. And the feds have no reason to attempt to impose a national red flag law.
How about they do some of this stuff for people who want to buy legal marijuana? We know that marijuana cause psychosis in ~17% of users, so a psych evaluation should be required. And wasn't the Uvalde shooter a pothead?
It means the gun lobby and it's supporters have successfully framed (in the past) any attempt to reign in this ongoing problem, by falsely characterizing the discussion as an attack on the 2nd amendment, with the overriding importance going to 2A, while nothing is done of the clear and present ongoing danger.You write:
Saying the 2nd amendment is paramount to considerations of protecting our kids, our schools, our churches, our public spaces, must take precedence. To do otherwise, out of hand, as usual is bullshit.
What is that supposed to mean?
The two are unrelated.then make it age to 21 to get into the military too. people wan t their cake and eat it too.

I'll never be in favor of universal background checks.Nothing he suggested struck me as unreasonable. Except for maybe the Red Flag Laws. I get it, but I have an issue with someone losing a Constitutional right without due process. Add in the fact that it would not be beyond the realm of possibilities that a spiteful ex could abuse the system... I guess I'm on the fence in regard to Red Flag laws...
. Read that again!
Not a legislator, just a citizen, born in Uvalde, that grew up leaning to shoot there, and having just spent days back in his hometown, talking with the townspeople after the event. He makes a powerful witness in the aftermath.I'm trying to recall when Matt was elected to office.
Did I miss it?
He did not lie. But, you got to admit, many on this board lie for free and frequently, just in the way they try to denigrate or mold the stories to fit their party or adopted support group.Why the fuck is he even being listened to?
He LIES for a living!!
If HE wants to do something, then HE needs to put HIS MONEY where his fat mouth is!!!
I am a gun owner, about all my life. I built my AR from the ground up, and it is hardly the only gun own. Give it a listen.
He has been a gun owner and probably still is and gave his opinion as one of the millions of responsible gun owners.so what. oviouslly he hasnt talk to gun o9wner in his life.

No answer is all encompassing or 100% effective. That is no justification to take no action.i doubt it. he still has not said what he will do about criminals and guns. Do you think a criminal with a gun it going to try to get one legally. The laws wont do a thing for them. Only hurt legal gun owners who are not the problem.
He said he was called by somebody from his hometown. You can look at it as grandstanding, but should hear it first to be able to discuss, rather than just blowing it off. Your time. Do as you like. I do.He wasn't a witness. He heard about it on TV and exploited it for publicity.

Actor Matthew McConaughey gives impassioned speech for gun reform in White House briefing
Actor Matthew McConaughey delivered an emotional White House appeal for gun regulations in the wake of last month's massacre in his hometown of Uvalde, Texas.www.cnbc.com
He is talking for gun owners? No gun owner I ever listen to talk talks like this. Does he own a gun? When he starts talking about what the government is going to do about criminals and guns instead of hurting legal gun owners. Then maybe I will listen.
DUHHe said he was called by somebody from his hometown. You can look at it as grandstanding, but should hear it first to be able to discuss, rather than just blowing it off. Your time. Do as you like. I do.
No, you asked in the OP if anyone caught Mathew Mcconaughey at the WH, so don't try your Jedi mind games on me. Just the other week, I saw you calling the 2nd Amendment something outdated that had to go or some such similar thing. Please don't try to fool us now about what a stalwart gun owner you are. All I remember when Trump was in office was the people invited who turned down going there as some stupid political statement, so please don't tell me Matt is this great moderate. A Leftist's idea of a moderate these days is Che Guevara.Who is there is not the topic of this thread. The speech is the topic.
I just know that if there is a sane, simple solution to gun crime, it didn't come from his mouth visiting at the WH. He needs to stick with Jodi Foster and make another space movie. Far better someone take one of my cogent suggestions I just offered on fixing gun violence. If the Biddum Regime invited Matt into the WH, then without any uncertainty, something Matt said must have advanced the Biddum agenda, and nothing good can come out of that.If you don't want to know what is in it for any reason, that is on you.
Maybe RAV News will comment on it giving it some analysis, the best news outlet for politics bar none on the planet. Besides, if Mathew, a minor Hollywood actor, actually had real insight into the gun problem, just imagine how stupid that makes all of the overstuffed, fat, do-nothing trolls Joe has hired?!You probably will not be able to turn on the TV without hearing about it.
