Matthew McConaughey Pushes for Gun Control as an ‘Acceptable Sacrifice’
Breitbart ^ | 06/06/2022 | Awr Hawkins

Posted on 06/06/2022 12:02:24 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Actor Matthew McConaughey used an Austin American-Stateman op-ed to push for more gun control as an “acceptable sacrfice” in the wake of high-profile, firearm-based shootings the U.S.

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

Matt the Brat....how the hell would “Universal Background Checks” have prevented the shooting?

Punk Ramos bought his weapons from a dealer who was not allowed to see Ramo’s juvenile record.

Empty the juvenile records into the system, and stop giving boys psychotropic drugs!

I suggest that ALL security details be banned for ONE YEAR.

All means ALL. That includes politicians, both in and out of office. No exceptions. ALL.

Outlaw guns for private security.

Outlaw guns for politicians' security as well. Make the worthless bastards live under the regime they want to impose on us.

No more 'gated communities' either. Criminals might want to sight-see some of the nicer homes. Do liberals want to hurt their 'feelings'?

Ok. Matthew McConaughey seems like an acceptable sacrifice to me.

If any of these bastards were serious about protecting children or other citizens then Hunter would be rotting in a federal prison ! Why? Because the gun laws on the books would be enforced no matter who broke them!!!!! That’s why!!!!!

All this is and I repeat, all this amounts to is an attempt to put a boot on the necks of patriots everywhere.

I think you are on to something with the age. I am 65. When I came through school, most HS age kids behaved with some semblance of maturity. But coming through school, we had some training on moral issues at school, which had some level of impact on those who were not from church-going families. That little bit of maturity and moral training exposure made a difference.

Now they often live in the fantasy world of video games. It is not hard to understand lack of maturity and the inability to empathize with their acquaintances. They might not even understand that dead is permanent. We have failed as a society by allowing the Left to train our children. The consequences are clearly dire.

My wife was buying her first firearm and the clerk said the FBI system is designed to turn down almost everybody for instant purchase and most get declined at the end of 7 days. Is that true?

Definitely not. It also seems that the more you buy, the faster they're approved.

No, McConaughey did not, like all the gun grabbers, specify what kind of background checks he is talking about. He, and probably multitudes of people, think that there are no background checks whatsoever. You listen to the politicians and you would never know that there are background checks all ready in place and, also, that it is very difficult to purchase a fully automatic rifle.

I would think that the vast majority of gun sales are through registered dealers.

“Had to take gun to Sheriff to register it”

Seriously? Where is that?

“The proposals would essentially outlaw private sales, unless they are made through an FFL dealer - which then creates a federally accessible record of the transfer.”

And only law abiding people will comply which will do nothing to reduce crime (just making a point, I know you already know that).
