US actor Matthew McConaughey has delivered a moving and powerful address at the White House on the need for"responsible" gun legislation., last month, of 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary - which was one of America's worst school shootings.
Gun owner McConaughey, who was born in Uvalde, appeared to hold back tears and choke up, as he held photos of some of the child victims and talked about their families, what they were wearing on the day they were shot, and what they wanted to be when they grew up. In the highly personal 22-minute speech to a silent White House press briefing room, the Hollywood star described how he and his wife Camilla had spent the past week with the grieving families and spoken at length about their loss - and the need for"making these lives matter".He went through a brief biography of each victim, at one point slamming his fist on the lectern in seeming frustration at the loss of life.went on a murderous rampage at the school with an assault rifle.
And while acknowledging Americans' Second Amendment right to bear arms, McConaughey said he believed that constitutional right did not mean there could not also be effective gun control legislation.
Walmart Target you need to be part of the lobbying and become vocal in this or you are complicit in the crimes for gods sake
why would anyone not in law enforcement or the military need an AR-15 ? why are AR-15's even available to the general public in the first place ? raising the age to 21 isn't going to fix anything background checks won't pick up everyone who flips take them out of circulation
Matthew McConaughey Owen's gun's himself so he will know what is what in America , but i thought slow Joe Biden was doing something about tightening the gun law's and why does Matthew have to speak out instead .
Mrs_Lundstram Powerful.
🤡
Yeh just ban owing a gun period..
Yes, an actor. He acted, could've tried harder though.
No one at any age needs to own a AR15
We shouldn’t need a celebrity to speak at the White House in order to pass gun control laws. Listen to the parents who have lost their children. This shows that politicians do not care enough to make a change.
How moving is this!
Let’s get some howdies going
why doesnt he cry for the 2.5 MILLION CHILDREN MURDERED PER YEAR IN THEIR WOMBS 1 cause of child death is ABORTION. why he isnt pleeding to BAN if hes so concerned
SenTedCruz JohnCornyn … this Texan (and your constituent) speaks for this Texan (and your constituent) … I hope you are both listening
They let that Uvalde shooting happen for nearly an hour on purpose. They sacrificed some kids to tighten the laws. There’s no reason to wait as long as they did and now some of the UPD aren’t cooperating with investigators.
Ahhh a Hollywood celebrity - that’ll sort it out.
We are a sick Country when it comes to guns.
