A month after speaking at the March for Our Lives in his hometown of Austin, Texas, Matthew McConaughey says he supports some gun control but fears the youth-led movement could be "hijacked" by those hoping to eliminate all guns in the United States.

Waiting to see how Texans view his candidacy now???

Not favorably, I would suspect. His candidacy is over, before it starts.

Well meaning I’m sure, but this Texan says, “no compromise” with the leftist. They do not compromise, they’re dead set on destroying conservatism in this country. Even one inch gives the leftist an inroad..NOPE!

That immediately places him on the wrong side of this issue. See, I listened. Now listen to me. "Shall not be infringed." I won't compromise.

We’ve been cancelled, told we’re racists, Nazis, bigots, told to wear a mask, told to stay home and not work, told us not to go to Church or we want everyone to die, told to shut up and pay our taxes, told to stop being white, told us we’re priviledged, told us to keep our beliefs to ourselves-——

That’s it, we’re done...period! I will not abide or agree to more BS laws on top of the thousands and thousands of laws in place. In the words of liberals “if you don’t like the gun laws, then move”.

Texas will be blue very soon... ‘most Texans’ aren’t Texans anymore. They’re illegals, Californians, New Yorkers, Indians (dots), East Asians or Arabs. Throw in the woke white women who hate kids, white men and their own culture and you’ve got Dems in power. The idiots are moving to Texas, the smart ones are moving out. The Texas y’all have in your head expired about 25 years ago.

If 100,000,000 gun owners were a problem, y’all would know.
They’re not.
At a 0.005% rate, it’s not the guns, and it’s not the gun owners.

There’s pics and videos all over social media depicting BLM and ANQUEEFA types openly brandishing those nasty assault weapons, like Grandmasterbaiter Jay and his NFAC thugs aka the gang who couldn’t shoot straight, and no concerns from the Karens from Mom’s Demand Action or the little 💩s from March for our Lives. Hell they support them. This level of arrogant hypocrisy is nothing new. I grew up near where the Brinks murders took place at the old Nanuet Mall in NY in 1981. Two police officers and an armored truck driver were gunned down in broad daylight by remnants of the weather underground an early incarnation of antifa. To this day every Clarkstown NY PO, every NYPD detective and FBI agent involved in this case have very good reason to believe Bill Ayers and Bernie Dhorn friends and 0bama had some involvement. That mall was one of our hangouts and my mom was planning on shopping there that day so yeah, it’s a little personal with me. Besides the atrocity of it all this crime was committed with ILLEGALLY OBTAINED FIREARMS ILLEGALLY TRANSPORTED ACROSS STATE LINES. Yet not one peep of outrage from the gun grabbers of the day. Not from Handgun Control Inc, the Brady Bunch or any hack politician or a-hole celeb. After all they were part of that radical chic thing going back to the 60’s. The same ones who were still raising hell over the murder of John Lennon a year earlier were conspicuous by their silence over this. I learned early on how the left thinks they’re slick when it comes to picking and choosing their battles.

First: it's not 'gun violence' it's 'CRIMINAL VIOLENCE'...

OMG I remember him and contributed mightily to his zotting. Rooted him out when he resurfaced under another, and interestingly similar, name.

No we don't. A “conversation” about violence might be worthwhile but one about “gun violence” is frivolous and worthless.

The killing culture is from one side of the street. The other side is where we find those who oppose the killing culture.

IMO, the killing culture is a result of urbanization. The huge number of children born to single moms and raised without fathers - raised with no discipline or respect for authority. They drop out of school to become members of gangs that come out after dark. They hate all forms of authority - parental, school, church, government, etc. They proclaim themselves victims of everything.
