According to Matthew McConaughey, assault weapons are not alright, alright, alright. But banning them is.
The 48-year-old actor spoke at the Austin, Texas March for Our Lives, stating that he was there because hes an American citizen, a proud Texan, a March for Our Lives believer, and, most importantly, because Im a father and Im a husband. Though he claimed that he wasnt advocating for gun control, he asked that Second-Amendment supporters take one for the team.
McConaughey, a famous face at the gun-control rally, announced that he didnt attend for the sake of subverting the Second Amendment, but that he wanted America to acknowledge that it is in the middle of an epidemic.
Now like many of you in the South, and many of us here in Austin, Texas, and all around our great state, we grew up hunting, he said. But I want to be clear that todays march is not about taking away the rights of law-abiding American citizens to buy own and bear arms.
To the surprise of no one (especially conservative gun owners), McConaughey turned around, adding that, At the same time, lets admit that we have an epidemic in our country right now that we need to fix.

His movies of late have not done well, so he is signaling to the Hollywood managers that he still knows how to play ball. And suck up.
This guy has always been very strange. And I don’t pay attention to weirdos who want to control my life.
Matthew, move to Mexico if you want very strict gun control laws.
I hear it is very safe for white, rich people there as a result
We’re all gonna “take one for the team” if these little commie b*tches have their way.
SHUT UP FUDD!!!!!
Deer and Foul don’t put your ass on a train to the camp!
One more actor opens his fat mouth.
One more movie and products I won’t be seeing or buying.
At least they save me money....................
Oh shit. I liked that guy. Until now.
“Hes from Austin”
He is still in Austin.
My 2003 Lincoln Town Car still has a lot of life left in it...........................
Matthew...Stick to playing like you’re someone else...
That’s what you’re good at....
In this case, that means he failed to use his brain before making this determination.
“So, dang it all. I was gonna go get a new Lincoln Navigator and a couple cases of Wild Turkey, but now......”
YUP, same here. No idea his next movie but scratch that too. A less than mediocre actor to start with, he was a one time wonder who copped an Oscar. In so doing he brought truth to the thought that “every actor has the potential for one award winning film”. So now what’s he gonna do besides bring high drama to moody car commercials?
Seems he'd rather be a crowd pleaser.
How about if he took one?
For the team.
I wasn’t always paid to drive Lincolns . . .
Oh God here we go again with the “assault weapons” jive. A freakin’ pencil can be an “assault weapon”.
I just tweeted him to thank him for straightening me out. Here I thought that just because the Democrats are saying they want to repeal the 2nd A (Black woman who heads Louisiana Democrat party which I think is right next door to Texas) said this and a retired Supreme Court judge said it that it might be true. BUT but but thanks to our ole buddy Mattie we now know better. Actors! They’re so wise!
The epidemic of brainless progressivism claims another victim!
“The talk in entertainment circles is that hes a pig. Literally stinks due to his bathing habits.”

While it's true that he lives in Austin, he's actually from Uvalde, Tx (approx. halfway between San Antonio and the mexican border).
