    1. @Dennis O. Wow. Could you make less of a point? His pride for Uvalde? C’mon, you can do better than that. Personally, I was hoping they could get Cardi B to pontificate again. Dems love them some Cardi B!

    2. @Rattus Grenadus LOL! I literally just walked in from work. Here’s a suggestion for you though…MAYBE YOU SHOULD GET LAID? It’d do ya a lot of good. You sound way too high strung.

  1. FREEDOM IS NOT A GIFT
    BESTOWED UPON US
    BY OTHER MEN, BUT A
    RIGHT THAT BELONGS
    TO US BY THE LAWS
    OF GOD AND NATURE.

  2. As one of my favorite actors I’m really glad Matt weighed in on this issue he totally changed the way I feel about this issue. Much like the many celebrities, athletes and politicians before him. I mean they’re all so down to earth and can really relate to the little people

  3. He literally just said it. They are used to distract us from what’s really going on.

    How the hell did they let that slip?

  4. When a politician tells you THIS TIME IT’S DIFFERENT … THERE IS A WINDOW, don’t expect much to change.

  5. Who or what is he that he speaks to Congress? A rich movie star that has security every place he goes with well armed gun carrying guards.

    1. @John Freedman Probably both. Anyone they can suck the money from. About some Trump steaks?

  7. I worked in High Schools For 27 years I talked to gang members and students about guns and where to purchase guns . Criminals don’t buy guns from gun shops ..to much paperwork .. they broke into homes that they heard there are guns..They buy from family friends..So Government wants to disarm ppl that have guns to hunt for food or to protect their homes..ppl use your common sense..Don’t allow them to take your guns… you have children lock up your guns .. teach children not to touch them or train them safety safety..

  8. It’s amazing how we are asking for help to come up with parameters that could possibly save lives but gun owners interpret that as trying to take their rights away or take their guns away🤣 No one is saying that. Something clearly has to be done to try and at least attempt to deter people who have enough sense to legally purchase a gun and go and kill people. Americans are so self centered 🤦🏽‍♀️ Instead of working together to come up with a solution gun owners feel threatened and work overtime to blame any and everything else. Do you not see the carnage?? Don’t you gun owners think something should be done too??

  9. Thank you, Matthew. I hope our congressmen and women as well as our Senators vote for sensible gun control!

  10. “And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
    Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

  11. Maybe they should demand that someone should always be in school that can shoot back, rather than another easily ignored, ineffective law like the failed laws in California and NY.
