Why is he speaking?
Laws are about money. Period. It’s called
Lobbying and it corrupts our democracy and affects innocent victims. For money.
This whole thing is kind of creepy Hollywood glorify it on one hand normalize it on the other and now this guy comes out of the woodwork I’m sorry maybe you need to come and see what I’m talking about But then you’ll have to go on
actinglike you don’t understand. I would hate to be you on judgment day!….. unable to sleep unless your wrecking lives on a massive scale?
And yet he is in movies that glorify gun violence.
Stop liberals from making films endorsing gun violence as entertainment.
Matthew McConaughey for PRESIDENT!!!

Dazed and Confused: Remember what you told Randal Pink Floyd on the football field?
What a bunch of hippie dippy baloney.
What is this actually supposed to do for addressing the real issue. Mental health crisis. Just another Hollywood phony getting way to impressed with himself. Go back to acting. Stop thinking you know anything else.
He's hilarious pot head 😂
Does anyone think that if America passes this so called gun control reform or whatever it’s called, the US will be like Canada where gun deaths are very low and guns in general are unnecessary? I for one am realist and believe that even as a First world country, the US will become more like Mexico, Brazil, and South Africa.
🥲😪🥲😪🥲
The Right to terrorize and intimidate is what it is. Without their Guns their cowards and have no way to impress others around them. A bunch o 9yr olds.
The NRA should be responsible enough to help reform Gun possession and ownership. But they don't. They have no wisdom for society. They only care about themselves and hide their heads in the sand. The National Rampage Association.
AMEN !
🤢🤮😡 to have him advocate for those victims is just WRONG !!!!!!! HE ….I MEAN OBIDEN WHO IS PAYING HIM FOR THAT PERFORMANCE ….IS USING THOSE VICTIMS WHO WERE MURDERED BY THE COMMAND AND SUPPLY OF OBIDEN WHOSE LAUNDERING MONEY BY WAY OF PAYMENT TO THAT TROGLODYTE NOT TO HONOR THEIR MEMORY, BUT PROMOTE HIS 3RD BASEMENT TERM AGENDA!!!!!🤬🤬🤢🤢🤮🤮
52 seconds in you can clearly see him trying to hide his laughing after saying her name, Alithia.
He knows this is all BS.
Alithia is teutonic (germanic) in origin
and means Noble humor
The Greek meaning for Alithia is: truth
Embarrassing. The media makes these events happen by promoting them.
Your right Matthew we need those laws…Instead of the opposite crooked politicians stay in office and and do more for themselves than for the country and the good of mankind in America.
To me what has happened in Uvalde Texas is an example of what the government is doing to " our nation".
Did the commanding officer have children in that classroom, did any of the politicians have children in that classroom….
Yes I watch some of the interviews from the officer in charge of giving the call. ..
His answers were much like a a politician of the leftists…
The police restrain more of parents trying to get to their children then they did the shooter in the classroom…
It's so sad…. Prayerfully n hopefully something good will come out of this.
God is the only one who can take a bad situation and turn it into something good….
Brave man
We rebuke the foul spirit of death in our schools and everywhere by faith in Jesus name.Amen.It is too sad to listen to this story.May God continue to comfort their families,friends and school community.This prayer goes to all families,friends of buffalo community shootings.What we don't know God knows.What we can't do God can.Our sure hope is in God,the Lord God Almighty.
How much of this is an act… and how much of this is genuine. He is an ACCOMPLISHED actor…
Amen n amen!!!
I like him and his movies but it’s to bad it took the killings in his city for him to speak.
Amazing speech
A man who drinks adrenachrome pulling on the heart strings of all those who have lost something precious in their lives is totally disgusting
Those children are with Jesus now
We are all tired of hollywood telling us anything
🙏✨
Wow…I cried listening to this message and what a powerful message he gave… Thank you Mr. Matthew Mcconaughey.
Makes you think why people like him don't run for presidents, doesn't it? I guess we can just write his name in
Joe can’t talk rn let’s just throw him in, horrible acting btw
What about all the kids dying from democrat gun violence with all the new guns funded by our government in cares act with targeted funded. The people killed in the hood don’t count. No one ever hears their story. Because its black on black violence. If you are black. And killed by another black. These news and that president doesn’t care. Your name will never be said. And you still don’t understand
No body cares for an un elected officials opinion. Want mine???? Bet you don’t.
They are pro life until you're born, after that, they don't care about you. -George Carlin
Right wing, left wing… it's all part of the same dragon…

Bullets need to cost at least $100,000 a piece. I know a man who has an AR-15 and bullets are $4 a piece.
They should at least cost the price of a human life.
The fact he ended this speech at the white house this way is awesome
I’ve always thought him ok as an actor , speaker on various topics,, it’s sad to hear him do this . It s the noise , not the signal and how these things are easily politicized bc of the emotional nature. Why not tattoo the names ? It’s the same , sad. Sucks to know,,, life is for the living , we can’t and won’t cry for all dead kids,, cancer , car crashes , drowning ,,, but guns ??????
I would recommend watching Colion Noir as to what's going on.
Amen brother 🙏 🙌 👏 ❤ 💯

No this administration is to tyrannical for us to be disarmed and that's where this is headed I do like his moves and he sounds like his heart is in it
killed by a MURDERER, not by guns… Guns are inanimate objects with no brain or nervous system to make any decision to harm a thing… blame the human being sick enough to do such things.. So tired of people intentionally knowing the truth but do not want to hurt other peoples feelings… PUT ALL MENTALLY ILL AND PHYCOLOGICALLY ILL PEOPLE ON A BAN LIST FOR GUNS… THAT IS LOGIC AND ACTION… ALL PEOPLE ON ANY TYPE OF PHYC MEDICATION ON A FIREARM BANNED LIST.. ALL THE PHARMACY'S, DOCTORS AND INSURANCE COMPANIES HAVE THIS INFORMATION…. banning guns only take guns out of the hands of the LAW ABIDNING CITIZENS….. FACTS…. NOT THE CRIMINALS…!!!!
It's sad when an Academy Award winner is reduced to being a crisis actor….
Why don’t we just make the seller also responsible to make some sort of character call. Where they can get in trouble with some sort of fine or something if they sell to someone they deem unethical
