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.
As was said back in the sixties by the Firesign Theater: “Tales of the working class told by rich Hollywood stars.”
I Loved Firesign Theater. “I stopped on a dime. Unfortunately, the dime was in his pocket!
We’re all bozos on this bus.
From “We’re all Bozos on this bus” . . . “Wow, man, you broke the president!”

When this gig is done, Matt has reverse mortgages on his plate next!
Damn…one of the few actors that I could still stomach watching. He was great in Free State of Jones. I guess he needs some attention.
He’s always been a gun banning turd.
my fav turd joke
Lol, yup.
Well said. And the Great Shuck And Jive has just begun. Perhaps someone should ask him if he’s ok with cops kicking in your door, shooting your dog, then killing you because the Red Flag Law has labeled you as being “Armed and Dangerous”? (I’m not making this up—this has already happened on several occasions). The gun-controllers are going to love that law. Hopefully the 5mil NRA members will have a say in those deliberations.
I haven’t heard much from NRA leadership, which isn’t surprising since NRA is part of GOPe.
You are right, of course. The NRA is the dowager empress of gun rights orgs. That’s why I also belong to GOA. That said, the NRA does have 5mil active member who vote. That alone make the organization important.
I haven’t heard much from NRA leadership
They know when to lay low
They’re the easy demon after the school shooting
Anything they say will just raise the profile of those demonizing them and amplify it
District Attorney of Philadelphia just blamed the South Street negr0-hijinks shooting on the NRA
You don’t need to reply to that kind of stupidity, you need to stand back and let it stand in glaring high profile
NRA is better off exerting their power behind the scenes during fire storms like this
Like Garrison said, they’ve got 5 Million voting members
Matt is from Uvalde!

I bet Thanksgiving is uncomfortable at his house. He has a nephew named MILLER LITE MCCAUGHEY.
His brothers are going to think he is a wuss.
I didn’t buy a Lincoln and I’m not buying this.
Yep, just another actor/salesman working for the highest bidder.
Actor > TV car salesman > White House prop.
Guess I WILL be labeled and red flagged. Remember there are more of us then them. MAGA and God bless America 🇺🇸 Stay strong! We are right and as usual, the left is very, very wrong.
I would suggest burying some guns in an undisclosed location that only you know.
ANOTHER boating accident????
hate it when that happens
Of course nobody watched Free State of Jones because it correctly identified Democrats as Slave Owners and KKK founders:
White Hats on Monday sent “a sizable force” to the southern border after confirming reports that many men among a caravan of 12,000 (and growing) would-be illegal immigrants are armed and marching toward Eagle Pass, Texas, just north of the Rio Grande.
A high-ranking source in the White Hat community told Real Raw News on Monday that the U.S. military has drone footage showing “several thousand” asylum-seekers carrying Kalashnikovs. RRN has not reviewed the video, which if accurate directly contradicts how mainstream media have portrayed the army rapidly encroaching toward U.S. soil—the crippled, the disenfranchised, and impoverished parents with starving children in tow. The MSM and its liberal political allies are eager to adopt illegals as potential voters for the equally illegal Biden regime.
eh, not exactly. I didn’t watch it because I knew it to be the typical anti-Southern tripe that has always been produced by Hollywood.
2020 certainly wasn’t the first time Demoncrats stole an election. The Compromise of 1876 installed a COMPROMISED Republican into the Oval Office. RutherFRAUD B. Hayes (as the former Union troops called him) ordered the final Federal troops out of the three Southern states where they remained. And the KKK reigned for decades afterwards. Also–RINOs are nothing new.
“correctly identified Democrats as Slave Owners and KKK founders”
Oh, but the Democrats / Commies / Liberals have this story that they later “switched sides”, don’tcha know …
… and now Dems are the “good guys”
There’s probably a wikipedia page
well not worried about the raising of the age to 21 … it is clearly Unconstitutional and thus a waste of their time …
Like I posted in the other thread, If guns are so repellent, let’s see Jerky donate every single dollar he made off of “True Detective Season 1” including downloads and DVD sales to families of victims of gun violence before he opens his greasy little mouth.
Are they raising the VOTING AGE to 21?
Or more so, the military eligibility age?
Sorry Amerian youths- 18 is too young to buy a gun but not too young to give you one to go die for U.S. political grifters and their money-laundering operations.
Also, 18 is too young for a gun but at 5 you are mature enough to decide to be a crazy person and “change” your sex.
No they want to lower it to 16.
They actually want to lower the voting age to 16.
and when the next shooter is 21 ? then what ? if the age limit was 21 last year … 1 year from now we would be reading about the same slaughter … from the same guy … unless he firebombed the place first …
Red flag laws = Lavrentiya Beria’s List.
Do not doubt it.
I don’t care what Mathew has to say- he’s no more important than anyone who posts here. Or my neighbor. Or my son’s college professor. Or the clerk at Walgreens. Or the garbage man. Or anyone else.
TPTB doesn’t seem to understand people like me (and others here). I don’t need to be patted on the back by others in society. And, more importantly, I am my own man- I don’t need Hollywood telling me how to live my life.
Mark this as another action by the WH that makes me hate them even more. FJB.
raised right
Actors. What a joke. Ask them to speak their own words and oops!, the real idiot is exposed. Just sayin. Not alright, alright, alright, but alwrong, alwrong, all wrong!
I never listen to anyone who plays dress up and make believe for a living.
Or is given live ammunition. BTW, has Alec Baldwin been tried for murder yet?
Certainly not! He’s busy reproducing more liberals and playing dress up and make believe.
No one EFFing cares what some Hollywood narcissist thinks. Gosh is that why “they” picked Uvalde for their planned event? Where is his impassioned plea for justice for the victims of sexual abuse/rape/trafficking happening on the border near Uvalde? Happening in Hollywood ? Effing hypocrite. Launching his political career
So out of curiosity, can anyone tell me what McConaughey’s credentials are on gun control legislation?
Alright, alright, alright….he has none. But, he’s a cool Hollywood type from Uvalde who can be used to manipulate mouth breathers into thinking a certain way.
Manipulate yes, from a year ago…https://www.tmz.com/2021/11/23/matthew-mcconaughey-leads-poll-texas-governor-abbot/ Says he’s not running but a good way to put him in the spotlight, name recognition and platform
He hates the AR-15. THAT’S ALL.
I can imagine what this administration will do with red flag laws, when they didn’t give a second thought to call parents concerned with school teachings domestic terrorists
EXACTLY!
And on further thought to my previous comment:
Folks, he’s an actor on stage putting on a performance complete with anger, tears, and other things actors demonstrate while acting.
This is nothing but another gig for an actor who I will now consider to be a POS too.
.
And props.
I thought the converse were a bit large for a 10-year old . . .
Yeah, I noticed that too. Pretty sick actually.
Come to think of it, since the Biden administration constructed an Oval Office stage separate from the White House, that all applies to Biden, too, huh?
They hired an actor to run a country–Ukraine.
So of course they would hire an actor to propagandize unconstitutional gun legislation.
Do you know anyone stupid enough to work on a squad that takes guns away from people who have already been deemed to dangerous to have them.
Everyday – Suicide by cop. Everyday a fire fight. And, for what?
When any actor, Hollywood or other speaks, just remember what it is they do. They use illusion to create their sense of reality. Believe them at our risk.
Well, at least they didn’t tap Alec Baldwin, heh.
Bada-bing!!!!
They pretend for a living…and the better they are, the more they get paid.
Looks like Matthew M. does not care about his acting career in movies and commercials any longer.
I will now will not watch him even on a free borrow from the public library.
Yep he made The List!
FMM and FJB and F UNIPARTY.
“Mr. McConoughey is wrong on the red flag component.”
He’s wrong on the age 21 component as well. Why not 25? 30? 60?
And instead of an AR how about mowing kids down with a car when you are 18 or blowing them up with a home-made bomb?
The Law of Unintended Consequences is real.
Also, what do we get for an age 21 law? Armed teachers? An end to gun-free school zones?
What??????
THE GUNS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM!!!
The criminal, demented minds using them are.
WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND?!
Cars kill people. We should end their use! We should make them hard to buy! No one under 21 should have one! We should monitor their gasoline purchases to use them! People getting deliberately run over by vehicles simply must end! Sob, sniff, look at the floor. What kind of nation are we to allow the continued use of cars without more restrictions!
If old Matt McConaughey is so angry, then he should have stuck with his run for Texas Governor. He quit.
Matthew who? Spit!
If they do pass something, should it be written in the enforcement will be just like the enforcement of all the other gun laws for criminals?
You mean like the enforcement of gun laws Hunter has experienced since he cannot legally buy a firearm as he’s a drug addict?
I read somewhere that the gun store where he bought it had a visit from the ATF and they *REMOVED* the evidence of the purchase from the dealer’s records.
That means they are gonna enforce the law on Hunter, huh?
He’s an actor. And an idiot.
even wearing the mom glasses
It takes real stupidity to join up with the likes of FJB.
I haven’t listened to the whole thing. Would like to know if he was really born in Uvalde. A little busy to consult the wayback machine to compare details with the current internet “facts.”
But so far, all I’ve heard is about the children who were slaughtered. Why they aren’t talking about the police chief who ordered them to wait, I don’t know. It’s good to share the sadness with the families of people we don’t know. It has its place but so too does the crimes committed on that day which include government actors who knew it was going to happen, let it happen and then stopped anyone who would interfere.
I only lasted 40 seconds of it; speaks volumes the politicians have to hire actors to sell their agenda.
Yes, he is from Uvalde. He attended University of Texas.
Nobody is talking about the police waiting OUTSIDE , cuffing parents at 11:54 am while a girl called for help at 12:19 pm , at 12:21 4 shots were heard.
Teacher blasts cops for not intervening sooner – UKDailyMail , June 7
Nobody is talking about where the psycopath got the money to buy the expensive weapons and ammo. That highway that runs through the town goes to Del Rio, Texas. It is the Cartel highway. I smell Cartel money all ove that police department.
He may be well intentioned, and serious….
But, he sounds like he is acting to me. Never a good look when trying to have a serious discussion.
He is allowing himself to be used.
If a person is too unstable to exercise every constitutionally protected God-given right, they are too unstable to be wandering around at large. Government created the situation for large numbers of very unstable people to be wandering around willy nilly.
Government at every level is responsible for the ills in the USA, so no discussion of anything weaponry related until the border is sealed tight and politician controls are enacted.
Aging, pretty-face actors are even more pathetic than young, pretty-face actors.
Brad Pitt with his collagen duckmouth is hilarious!
Edit: Hilarious to look at!
Everything about this administration is fake.
Did McConaughey take his shirt off and hit a joint at anytime during the speech?
He shoulda played the bongo drums with his junk.
If you’ve ever answered your door naked, high and sporting bongo drums, you might be a democrat spokesman.
It seems like their belief is, if you eliminate guns then you eliminate bad/evil people and all will be well.
Actually, if you eliminate bad/evil people all will be well, but our new evolving culture of identity politics, hate everywhere, drugs everywhere, sexual deviancy, corrupt government and institutions is creating them.
The drugs flowing freely through the open border are the largest driver of the so-called gun violence. The open border also puts the lie to the very name Dept. Homeland Security.
Getting really fing desperate using a pitchman who doesn’t wear deodorant
Just another Hollywood ACTOR who made his name carrying a gun in his violent movies and was never elected to any political office ?
What does the great actor Bugs Bunny have to say about all this?
Shouldn’t we hear from him?
I think we should ask Betty White. She, when asked, will give the appropriate answer that should come from any self-anointed self-entitled Hollywood POS.
“In questions of power, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the constitution.”
-Thomas Jefferson
They know they are bound that’s why all the work around. The 2nd Amendment is our last line of defense.
Hollywood is as despised as the government is. This isn’t going to win anybody over.
Bingo!
Nope, it will only hurt his career.
“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in Government.”
-Thomas Jefferson
I don’t know if any of this is going to fly, but… it will lead to an even stronger fragmentation of the country, sort of like Red vs Blue states that’s been ongoing the past few years. So many people will be left in a lurch.
If you keep raising the allowable age to do certain mature things, you had better raise the voting age as well.
All I can think of is his Lincoln commercial where it looks like he’s rolling a buggar in his fingers.
Really wrong that he’s politicizing this. Remember when Tom Hanks & his wife quarantined in Australia right when covid emerged and set the stage for the lock downs?
This feels similar.
Sorry Matthew. You’re shilling for a guy who gifted America’s mortal enemy with $83 Billion in tax payer owned high tech weaponry. Wake up and step off.
I like McConaughey…in movies. I’m not interested in his thoughts on the 2nd amendment.
Politicians are the problem with the world.
These are the same morons sending BILLIONS in weapons to Ukraine.
Our weapons aren’t for hunting, it’s to stay free from their tyranny and they know it.
A guy who pretends for a living wanting to punish law abiding citizens…No way!
Almost like he’s already one of our immoral and disgraceful elected officials!
“[The right to keep and bear arms] may be considered as the true palladium of liberty …. The right of self defence is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any colour or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction. In England, the people have been disarmed, generally, under the specious pretext of preserving the game: a never failing lure to bring over the landed aristocracy to support any measure, under that mask, though calculated for very different purposes. True it is, their bill of rights seems at first view to counteract this policy: but the right of bearing arms is confined to protestants, and the words suitable to their condition and degree, have been interpreted to authorize the prohibition of keeping a gun or other engine for the destruction of game, to any farmer, or inferior tradesman, or other person not qualified to kill game. So that not one man in five hundred can keep a gun in his house without being subject to a penalty.
“The congress of the United States possesses no power to regulate, or interfere with the domestic concerns, or police of any state: it belongs not to them to establish any rules respecting the rights of property; nor will the constitution permit any prohibition of arms to the people;…”
-Saint George Tucker, close friend of Thomas Jefferson and Justice of the Virginia Supreme Court, in his edition of ‘Blackstone’s Commentaries On The Law’ (1803)
Like most of the nutcases working in the ‘motion picture industry’, i.e.; ALL of them, I would bet a flimsy Red Star and Hammer ‘n Sickle that FMM is a card-carrying GD POS Commie.
