The American public’s opinion of Joe Biden is worse than any former occupant of the oval office. Biden is in a competition with Jimmy Carter for the worst economic policy in our nation’s history. With polling that low, he cannot weigh in on anything of importance – especially gun control legislation.
It appears the White House has chosen to use Hollywood actor Matthew McConaughey as the point person for new legislation in the aftermath of the Uvalde school shooting. McConaughey is a native of Uvalde and delivered an impassioned speech earlier today from the White House. WATCH:
.
The basic framework of new legislation looks like a raising of the age from 18 to 21 to purchase an AR-style rifle, increased investment in mental health, and federal “red flag” laws. Of the proposals the “red flag” laws are the most problematic.
We have seen how ideologues in social media operate. It is not a stretch to predict in today’s DOJ, they would accept a “red flag” list of Trump supporters from a social media site moderator and send out the ATF swat team. However, well intentioned he might be, Mr. McConoughey is wrong on the red flag component.
Game over……Biden has zero credibility. Now relying on washed up actors to push policy. #FJB
Matt doesn’t even realize he’s been used like a worn-out sock.
No mention of inept, disgusting police work.
“It was too dangerous for us to go save children.”
If there was any decency in any of them, then at a minimum they would resign en masse.
But the honorable thing would be the Japanese Code. Seppuku for dishonor and shame.
Lenin referred to people like Matthew as “Useful Idiots”
I don’t give a cow patty about hollywood’s opinion about anything…the same crowd that abuses women and children and promotes deviant lifestyle choices and then entertains and makes millions off of the depiction of violence perpetrated by the criminal use of firearms. Hypocrisy at it’s finest. Shall. Not. Be. Infringed. NUFF SAID!
How about we clamor for a boycott of all violent films and depictions of guns in films for 25 years and see if the culture gets better? I am sick of all the increasing gratuitous explicit depictions of killing people that look worse than ISIS beheading/headshot videos. How many headshots have there been in overwrought shows like The Walking Dead? It dulls the senses of our violence-prone youth. How many more films do we need that glorify gangs. All these violent special effects people are 30 year old obese losers in black tee shirts and cargo pants. I wonder how many psychopaths get their sick ideas from some of these films depicting torture. I am sure a lot of veterans and their families and seniors would enjoy films that are wholesome and watchable.
Time to make Hollywood grow up (and hopefully lose money) as most of the actors on screen in violent movies are anti-gun….but have bodyguards. When our 16,000,000 men returned home from WWII, many of them were very proficient with guns, there was not a huge surge in gun murders or mass shootings because they were sick of carnage and knew the consequences.
This is the Democrats in a nutshell. When faced with a real problem, the turn to a person who’s whole career is pretending to be someone else. They can pretend all they want but the majority of Americans who own guns will not be turning them over to the government without a fight.
Has it been determined how a part-time employed teenager can purchase nearly $10,000.00 worth of firearms and ammunition? No one is OK with the events of any criminal mass killing but coming after law-abiding citizens who exercise their God-given rights under our constitution is always the solution presented….total insanity…by definition a criminal doesn’t care what laws exist. I for one am sick and tired of the same old call to disarm the people so criminals have an easier time killing when they desire to do so.
YES———-THE LONGER IT IS BEFORE WE LEARN WHERE HIS “FUNDING” CAME FROM——-THE MORE
WORSE IT SEEMS????????
I seem to recall, there was a “report”from the National paper from Briten ——–stating that he
bought some on a “credit plan” ???
Alright, alright, alright. Naw, man.
“Actors. Is there anything they don’t know?” —- Homer Simpson
I thought McConaughey was a Republican? He’s a Texan. This will not sell in Texas. And who cares what he thinks?
Another bought and paid for actor.
That was my understanding, too.
Think maybe he is a RINO.
Something for Texans to remember, should he seriously enter politics.
Dr. Thomas Sowell: “Why do actors — people whose main talent is faking emotions — think that their opinions should be directing the course of political events in the real world? Yet it is a mistake that they have been making as far back as John Wilkes Booth.”
Ego. Pride.
Seems to take both to be successful in show business and politics.
Handguns are illegal in Chicago and they had 50 shootings this past weekend. Thats the perfect example of why removing our rights wont work. Criminals dont care about laws. Dont fall for the propaganda
Moreover, many of the Shotcago shooters are not only violating state and city laws by possessing firearms, they are violating federal law that bars convicted felons from possessing guns.
A has-been actor accepts a bad script from Communist hacks. A useful idiot. Red lights, Matt.
Killer Joe, True Detective, etc. …your characters killed with guns. Hypocrite. Your drawl has expired.
I just heard a prior comment by MacConaghey where he states he want to ban all AR-style rifles. So, he is of the same ilk as a certain fake Mexican-American running for Governor of Texas.
Don’t trust anyone who tells you anything from paper.
Also, important Federal gun registry – Hitler and Australia both used it prior to taking guna away.
A multi-millionaire with hired guns to protect him is the biggest hypocrite. Then again all leftist’s are complete evil pieces of you know what. The elites will be just fine. It’s the middle class that will be wiped out. No job. No way to pay the mortgage. Bye bye house, car/s, everything you pay interest on gone. All they have to do is let our energy companies get back to work. But of course they won’t. They will pretend that increasing domestic supply will not bring down the costs of energy. This is the kind of evil we are dealing with! They are going to kill off millions of American’s and pretend they had nothing to do with it! We must pressure them to go after our own natural resources or we will become a third world nation soon. Gas is going up 10 cents a day. $5 bucks a gallon here in Michigan. If we get to $10 a gallon I predict we will see massive layoffs and corporate bankruptcies. The only solution is energy independence. We saw it work with Trump. The enemy is our government! They are doing NOTHING to improve anything! Throwing more gas on crisis after manufactured crisis to try and distract the masses from their diabolical evil intentions. To kill us or enslave us into the new world order. I always knew too much technology was going to be our demise. Live Free Or Die!
Now if it only takes one to be born in a city where a gun death has occurred to now be an expert, hell Chicago must have a few million experts. This administration never ceases to reach new lows. A mentally deficient administration!!
McConaughey is no Texan
