His first recommended gun control is an expansion of background checks. The Magic Mike star wrote, “All gun purchases should require a background check.”

Criminals lie on their background checks if the do them at all. Background checks should be eliminated along with the FBI.

I suggest that ALL security details be banned for ONE YEAR. Let the elite fend for themselves. After the year we can have discussions with any surviving elites.

FACT: Guns prevent an estimated 2.5 million crimes a year or 6,849 every day. 98+% of the time the gun is not fired and no blood (including the criminal’s) is shed.

When he starts asking me for acting lessons and advice, I’ll listen to him about other topics.

Do you even know how a background check works? Well I do, I have sold firearms, and it isn’t easy to lie and get away with it.

The gods must be appeased. I suggest we throw Matthew into a volcano and find out if it is an acceptable sacrifice.

I find the sacrifice wholly unacceptable.
Don’t try and decide what I’m down with pretender.

None of that will work. One of the problems with extended background checks is people slip through the cracks because all the computers cannot communicate with each other, different hardware and software. We already have pretty good background checks now. None of what is proposed will solve anything, just feel good crap.

Has Matthew ever bought a gun himself???????

He did not buy legally did he? You will always have illegal guns for sale no matter what.

Outlaw guns for private security. Problem solved. The damn ‘elites’ don’t want THEIR lives at risk.
