Read the fucking room numbnuts are you fucking kidding me?! freak, nobody takes you serious and this woman isn’t interested goofball, what you are doing is comparable to pouring a beer on a memorial and breaking the bottle next to it.

I applaud your passion, heart and common sense. Unfortunately my friend we have passed the point if no return. We have evolved into a greedy, illiterate, heartless society controlled by evil.
I am a mother of a shooting survivor, who was so very fortunate to live. I want these laws to change now. Not later.

@@bulletsforteeth5029 buddy there is a difference between carrying a hand gun for safety and taking AR 15 in schools. Anyone who thinks they need a bloody automatic rifle for safety or "shoot deer" is full of sh!t. Nothing wrong in having some form of regulations and central database for gun ownership. No one is asking for complete ban on guns but some regulations are needed.

Laws aren't the problem. Don't let your emotions misguide you. It's the mental health. Do you want to go shoot up a school, or a Public place? No, because normal SANE people don't want to do that. We should be making more awareness of that fact. The gun is a tool, just like anything else. Criminals will still get them.

I had no idea he was from there, til now. I felt weird seeing him on my tv yesterday and I changed it. But now I see why he and his wife came to speak about this. He is well known, bipartisan, and his way with words is effective. Incredibly tragic situation here.. I hope they utilize what's possible now. This should never happen again.

The teachers that protected the children that day deserve respect. Let's all come together and give our power back. I am begging the American government to stop these gun laws.

The American people need to live up to their responsibility and obligation to protect their own lives and the lives of their children over any second amendment right. The choice between your gun or the life of your children is a no brainer. Common sense is what Mr McConaughey is talking and cannot be disputed.

@melissanoelle410 agreed and to add on to that; not everyone should own a gun just because they want one. There needs to be extensive psych evaluations performed and passed, restrictions on what types of guns, how many and how much ammo can be purchased at any given time. No one needs an assault rifle. Those are designed for the military to have in WAR. To be able to kill a group of ppl in one pull of the trigger. Active duty military are the only ppl who should have access to them, and maybe border patrol, the feds, etc. Homeland security ...no civilian needs a weapon that destructive since when has any average civilian needed to defend themselves against such a large group of ppl that a handgun or a revolver wouldn't suffice?? Yes I totally agree with you ❤

I really hope this guy does run for governor of Texas. He is true to his words sincere and cares about the usa. We need him in politics way better then the career leaders they have in there now.

It's been happening so many times now. What needs to be changed and the states is doing nothing. It's so sad.
Right across YU tube people are making adverse comments regarding his speech AMERICANS how can anyone not agree with the likes of him and Steve Kerr AMERICA a wonderfull country only some 245 yrs old but so advanced BUT still in regard to the 2nd ammendment living in the past as a country so respected STOP LiVING in the past
Proud to stay outside US, in a nation without free guns easy available.

Actually weird how people believe these people. SO the rich guy who lives in absolute safety with his house, area, security systems and money who is constantly protected by men with guns every day is telling people to disarm. Really? All the events he goes to have dozens of armed security protecting him and he wants to strip people of their rights and freedoms to protect themselves?.

We need to do better. I do know we have a mental health crises in this country. Who will address the multifaceted problem? It is more than guns. Yes, guns. Yes, mental health. There is a lot to look at here.
The AR Rifles and their Equivalent are capable of "interchangeable" ammunitions, they can use "double-action/hollow point" ammunition, wherein when it hit the target, then it explodes inside, thus double wounds that maximized the ability to inflict death to the victims with just a single shot... low chances of survival... the ability of the ammunition to expand upon impact.
instead of old duffers trying to lead America why aren't men or women with the same passion and clear mindedness of Matthew Mcconaughy in charge?.
Problem is too big We want to vote for this and we need to change our mentality

Thank you for what you said today. One issue not discussed in youth owning guns is about maturity not just responsibility. The human brain doesn’t mature until the mid to late 20s depending on who one is listening. The one thing they all agree is it’s NOT 21! No one should be able to buy any weapon, any gun, particularly weapons of war, until one’s brain has completed its growth. PLEASE address this when you are publicly speaking. It’s a crucially part of the gun issue. Thanks.
