1) All gun purchases should require a background check. Eighty-eight percent of Americans support this, including a lot of responsible gun owning Texans. … I’ve met them. Roof, who killed nine people in a black church in South Carolina in 2015, got his pistol without a completed background check due to a legal technicality. The system failed. Gun control activists call this a loophole. I call it incompetence.
2) Unless you are in the military, you should be 21 years old to purchase an assault rifle. I’m not talking about 12-gauge shotguns or lever-action hunting rifles. I’m talking about the weapon of choice for mass murderers, AR-15s. The killer in my hometown of Uvalde purchased two AR-15s for his eighteenth birthday, just days before he killed 19 students and two teachers. He obeyed the law. Had the law been different, perhaps I wouldn’t be writing this today.
3) Red Flag Laws should be the law of the land. These measures, which are already in effect in 19 states and Washington, D.C., empower loved ones or law enforcement to petition courts to temporarily prevent individuals who may be a threat to themselves or others from purchasing or accessing firearms. These laws must respect due process, judicial review, and hold account individuals who may abuse such laws.
4) We need to institute a national waiting period for assault rifles. Individuals often purchase weapons in a fit of rage, harming themselves or others. Studies show that mandatory waiting periods reduced homicides by 17 percent. Gun suicides account for the majority of U.S. gun deaths. A waiting period to purchase an assault rifle is an acceptable sacrifice for responsible gun owners when it can prevent a mass shooting crime of passion or suicide.

No. Your move.
Shut up and act.
“Roof, who killed nine people in a black church in South Carolina in 2015, got his pistol without a completed background check due to a legal technicality.”
A lie. He had a disqualifying conviction and FBI screwed it up and allowed the sale.
What are the qualifications of this rich pretender to lecture anyone on this subject?
Dazed and Confused.
It’s time to address moral and social decay.
Stupid moron.
This dumbass just made a big career error
It’s never a good time to surrender freedom to stupidity.
I’m responsible. Come on my property and threaten. Wield your virtue here.
I’m a free man and I will behave like a free man.
And nope. Our criminal revolutionary government has thrown the border wide open, conducted mass release of violent prisoners, started a war with Russia, debased the currency to the point they have caused an economic crisis, supported BLM and antifa terrorism waves while viscously attacking norma; Americans who need protection from them. They have flooded the schools with dope, perversion and family attacking policies, they even literally stole the 2020 election. The have cause food and energy shortages that will cause crime and sent untold millions migrating here.
And this hollywood actor wants me to disarm? Here’s my finger.
He was in 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation'.
That make him an expert on mass killings.
“I’m not talking about 12-gauge shotguns or lever-action hunting rifles.”
The Marlin 336 lever action is a close second to an “assault weapon”. It’s a repeating rifle which can be reloaded incrementally before the magazine is empty.
Shoot 3 rounds, add 3 rounds.
It’s very popular in Europe for that reason.
You cannot do that with the Winchester 94. It has to be empty to reload.
Because...I never vote or support any political agenda without first consulting Matthew...
matthew Maconhey you suck
“No. Your move.”
Just say no.
Anyone who even mentions the phrase “assault weapon” or “assault rifle” disqualifies themselves from the conversation.
People buy guns in a fit of rage. You cant even argue with such an ambiguous statement. It only takes one person buying a gun in a fit of rage to make this statement true. . I could day matthew is a fag and a pedo because people work in Hollywood are fags and pedos. There ya go, i dont listen to mentally deviant fags and pedos.
You know what they say. If you’ve lost Matthew McConaughey...
...you’ve lost literally only retards and morons.
Agreed. Take all commie guns. Deport all commies. Control achieved.
