I have considered his comment “Acceptable Sacrifice” and find it to be designed as a sound bite he can make famous and run a political campaign on. I find his sound bite insulting, playing to emotion and low IQ. If he were serious, he be asking why laws on the books aren’t being enforced beginning with Hunter Biden.
It's an old tried and true term. Dems have used it for years when saying you need to "sacrifice" and pay your "fair share".
To be fair, the headline of this piece is misleading.
McConaughey doesn’t endorse “gun control as ‘acceptable sacrifice.’”
He specifically says, “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.”
That’s a good conversation starter.
As I’ve mentioned, I don’t like his use of the vague term “assault rifle.” But maybe waiting periods for certain guns could be a good thing. Maybe. Let’s talk about it, rather than just dismiss it outright.
