Matthew McConaughey released a dramatic, black-and-white video clip Friday calling for a bipartisan approach to gun control after he met with over 30 elected officials in Washington, DC to push for stronger legislation.
The Uvalde, Texas native is shown in the video meeting with officials from both sides of the aisle, including Sens. Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema, Lindsey Graham, Cory Booker, Rep. Jerry Nadler, Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Biden.
“This is and was about gun responsibility,” the clip, posted to Twitter, states in typed letters.
“This is about mental health, safer schools … and keeping guns out of the irresponsible hands that, by rule of law, still have access to them today. The solution must come from both sides.”
While in Washington, the Oscar winner delivered an impassioned speech on the Uvalde school shooting tragedy in the White House briefing room, where he called for background checks, more red flag laws and a focus on “responsible gun ownership.”
“These regulations are not a step back, they’re a step forward for a civil society and the second amendment,” he said during the 20-minute monologue.
“Is this a cure all? Hell no. But people are hurting, families are, parents are.”
At the end of the video clip, he doubled down on that call.

after he met with over 30 elected officials in Washington, DC
Actor releases a dramatic video. Screw you skinny boy. Government has unleashed a wave of doped up kids, trannies, a tidal wave of illegal aliens, BLM, Antifa, emptied the prisons in the name of covid, unleashed poverty and created even more crime, food shortages and even a currency collapse looms, and even a war with Russia.
And you think now is the time I should give up my guns?
Eff you.

there is a gossip item that a celebrity is being offered money to run and split the vote. People are guessing it is this guy.
I’m sure all politicians ask themselves “ i wonder what Matthew McConaughey thinks about this?” before they go to work.

No one will watch it just like his movies
F#ck off, Hollywood pansy.
There is no such thing as bipartisan gun control.
You are either a communist, or you are not?
This insufferable “actor” is about as likeable as Liz Cheney and kinzinger.
Matt- if you ain’t advocating for hardening schools and I creasing g the right to bear arms for self protection and protection of others,x the you are not serious about the issue, so please take your opinion and go jump in a lake somewhere. Thanks
I want to know what this a$$hole drives.
And then I want a bill in congress to get it banned.
And then get in his face and say, "Every day, about 32 people in the United States die in drunk-driving crashes — that's one person every 45 minutes.", so we are banning your vette/hummer/lambo/tesla/whatever for car responsibility.
HE IS A LAME ASS PUNK.
LIVES IN A GATED WITH ARMED GUARDS
STFU AND GO AWAY!!!!!!
Was he doing cocaine, drinking martinis, thumping his chest, and talking about masturbation like in Wolf of Wall Street?...
Get in your own lane Matt!
I’m sure they think that WAY more than they wonder what their constituents think.
I’m not taking advice from a pothead 2 bit actor.
“This is and was about gun responsibility,”
No...it’s about you. Take an NRA gun safety class.
He sounded like a fool.
