Matthew McConaughey Urges Assault Weapons Owners to ‘Take One for the Team’ to ‘Save Lives’
The actor gave an impassioned speech about the importance of gun regulation at the March for Our Lives protest in Austin, Texas on Saturday

By Jodi GuglielmiMarch 27, 2018 10:19 AM

McConaughey called for banning assault weapons for civilians and closing loopholes in the current background check system.

“One, let’s ban the assault weapons for civilians. This is a no-brainer. And to my friends out there that are responsible owners of these recreational assault weapons that they use for recreation, please let’s just take one for the team here and set it down. That issue saves lives,” he said. “Number two, let’s restrict the capacity of the magazines. Look here: in the state of Texas, we have a three shell limit to hunt migratory birds. Do the math. You get my point.”

Matthew McConaughey slams anti-maskers as he mulls run for governor

Matthew McConaughey thinks anti-maskers are not alright, not alright, not alright.

“I’m like going come on, man – I’m not believing that you’re really scared of this little cotton thing,” the Oscar-winning actor and potential Texas gubernatorial candidate said in a recent appearance on “The Carlos Watson Show.”

“And I’m not believing that you really feel that takes away your identity and your freedom. This is a short-term inconvenience for long-term freedom.”

Well, considering Mr. Gun Confiscation came within 3-points of beating Ted Cruz two-years ago, I’m not sure the answer to your question is reassuring.

Texas is trending blue, in a big way. If it weren’t for conservatives moving to the state (Cruz COMFORTABLY won voters in 2018 who weren’t born in Texas while losing native Texans to Beto O’Rourke), the state likely would have already turned blue.

The first generation Latinos - many of whom were born to illegal aliens parents - are killing the GOP in the state.

Matthew McConaughey criticizes Texas Gov. Abbott’s decision to lift mask mandate: ‘A little dumbfounded’

Texas native Matthew McConaughey is speaking out about Gov. Gregory Abbott’s decision to lift the state’s mask mandate as the ongoing coronavirus pandemic continues.

McConaughey stressed that wearing a face mask is “just this minor inconvenience” that can help save lives. He also suggested that it may not be the face-coverings so many around the country are taking issue with.

“I just want to remind, not only Texans, but everybody out there, it’s not the mask we’re afraid of, c’mon. It’s the word ‘mandate.’ Let’s not let the word ‘mandate’ get in the way of practical use of this little tool called a mask. It’s just a small inconvenience today for more freedom tomorrow,” McConaughey said.

With the understanding that its now Texans’ “choice” whether they wear masks or not to stop the spread of COVID-19, McConaughey implored “people around the world” to cover up.
