If their worried about losing an election that means the people they represent will put them out the door if they "try gun control laws. Democracy is about working for the people that vote for you. If you go against them in America you are illegimate so laws you make are (per the constitution) null and viod
No one knows the pain of losing a child no matter their age I lost my 26 year old son Jake March 13th 2021 When this tragedy happened I felt these parents pain and rekindled my own pain Thank you for standing up for these kids and their family's So these children didn't die in vain God bless you
😢 I'm so sorry for your loss, may your son Jake be in eternal peace 🙏🙏my prayers ask the Lord to comfort your heart when in despair and loneliness ..much love and prayers to you..❤🙏🙏💖
As much as there is love and good in this world, you better be sure there will be hatred and evil too. It's just the way we are. I wholeheartedly agree with you.
I can never begin to understand what drives a person to kill children i am so ashamed of people i always have been since i was a kid I couldn’t understand the hatred in most people’s hearts it’s so rare to find a genuine good person because most people are just wolves in sheeps clothing.
No. But you can take away that persons ability to purchase a military style assault rifle. Is this really that difficult to understand?? The AR-15 isn’t a consumer product. It’s a weapon of war.
@Brian Z No it doesn't, but his 'opinion' will be adopted by many sheeple who don't want to learn anything for themselves or form their own opinion because they idolize him, hence why it's propaganda and government uses actors and celebs to give an authoritarian message claiming it's 'the actors' opinion. Think the White House would let an average Joe give his opinion in front of millions, especially if it differed from their message? Media outlets including social media already block, limit and 'fact-check' average peoples opinions if it strays from the narrative.
The Government fails to act on the laws being broken now. Responsible gun owners are not the ones breaking them. Enforce laws already on the books and then we can have a legitimate discussion about how to keep the kids safe.
Agreed Warren, they want guns out of the hands of those who would protect the innocent and keep them in the hands of those who have no courage to do the right thing.
Well considering most of these school shootings have been committed with guns purchased legally that doesn’t make much sense. And why wait to have a discussion to keep the kids safe? Let’s have that conversation right now and work harder to enforce the current laws and put in place additional deterrents. Do all the things.
Warren's proposal to limit school shootings. Install "Sally Port" or "Man Trap" style entryways at all main entrances. Install exit only/key required/alarmed if left propped open exterior doors like hotels and hospitals have. Hire former US military or Retired LEO to randomly patrol school grounds and arm them appropriately for the task. Most importantly, fix our Country's broken mental health system. Start treating mental illnesses instead of just handing out pills and sending broken people on their way. Acknowledge that evil people do exist, and they should not be allowed to purchase weapons. Mandatory reporting by all to the NICS database by States and Cities is being ignored currently. Enforce and actually prosecute firearms crimes. Too many times our DA's and Courts dismiss these charges in plea deals letting offenders off.
@@MattmclellandMusic I don't know if that statement is actually true. I got a feeling that last time I researched this that most of these mass shooting weapons have been acquired illegally.
Matthew McConaughey: Real person who just happens to be an actor for a living. Who wouldn't if they could? I grew up in a farm community in the panhandle of Texas (Magahat country these days) but left, saw the world and other parts of the country and expanded my horizons. I recommend this for all panhandlers because they mostly only listen to each other. It is obvious that Matthew has expanded his horizons a bit since growing up and leaving Uvalde. How else could he have given such a heart rending account of what it is like to be from there and feel their their pain and know the outrage that real humans with a heart feel over these mass shootings? I felt his pain and had to fight back some tears during his speech. Much like I did during his closing argument in "A TIme to Kill". THAT one really got me even though it was just a movie. It plainly "got" Matthew too. His feelings seem to be a part of his life, acting or not. Kudos Matthew. You are not a robot (or a brainless follower).
But the law facilitates criminals being able to get them, I've never seen a gun outside of a gunshop in the UK, most I've ever seen is Airguns and a couple spent birdshot shells near farmland 😛
@@jedcollings3624 "But the law facilitates criminals" Mathew is talking to Americans so show me the American law that lets criminals get guns? Its EVERYONES GOD given right to defend one self and when there is a CRAZY GUY with a gun it ALWAYS ends with a good guy with a GUN!
Interesting that no one questions where the shooter got all of the money it took to amass that arsenal? Where does the average 18 year old come up with almost 10 grand for all that hardware?
I appreciate you making these children and families so much more than a statistic. Due to all that happens, people look away too soon. You make these people and their lives more real, in a way that few people can. People need understanding to care, and to care to create change. And it’s clear that you truly care. Let’s hope that the care will spread and that this loss does result in something positive. It’s owed to these broken dreams and families.
@@RonInNapa that's the best thing I have heard... So much of this turns into gun control laws that don't work only make it harder for law abiding citizens who maybe had mistakes in the past own guns. He brought up a very important point in this. He was raised to respect the power of a firearm like myself. The point wasn't even about being taught how to use the weapon. You get enough of that from the internet. The POINT was he was raised right and that is where our country is failing.
As a Canadian carpenter, I listened at work . I never cried so hard on site before as a father of three , my heart aches. Pls run for an !!!!! Actual!!!!! President that makes a difference. Do it for the world we need more of this real talk !!!!!!! Good bless all children of the world Thanks Mathew!!
Well keep your Canadian politics in Canada. Matthew McConaughey needs to run for office if he wants to suggest policy. He's not ultra maga so he'd lose big but yeah we don't need Canadians in our politics. Thanks 😊
@@steveholland5455 I wouldn't say he's lose big, or lose at all, for that matter. I'm a strong Republican, and I think he's a pretty sane guy. The way he put it was quite centered and unbiased, following our Constitutional rights, while at the same time trying to maintain a civil society.
@@ethangill9437 yeah after what we've witnessed from the criminals in our government I don't think we should abide by any new laws these crooks make. These policies are not about protecting our children, they are about disarming you and enslaving our children.

As a fellow Texan, I thank you!. Now we need those in charge to REALLY HEAR what we are asking for! It should NOT be about politics, but about saving LIVES!!!!
As we burned in the death camps will be your future if you give up your civil liberties and don't give me that saving lives bullshit when these turds abort enough babies to make Hitler blush with envy. Try enforcing the laws we already have.
I love that part where he got a bit aggressive but then fights to reel it back in. I love how everyone in the press room kept their mouths shut and listened the fuckin truth
We have a federal background check, we already have red flag laws, we already have waiting periods. Mental health needs to be a bigger, laws preventing illegal firearms need to be stricter. But the main thing is mental, people don’t know how to act, deal with life’s issues and problems. People think changing who they are, delving into the digital world will make them better or get rid of depression or anger. If that isn’t checked, bad people will hurt people if they have they will, the Oklahoma City bombing years ago didn’t involve guns, it was a van and items from a farm and tractor store. If someone wants to hurt someone they will.
@@NatoHoro no. No. No. No. No. A car is transportation. Designed to, and LICENCED, regulated and monitored to do 1 thing..... drive. A gun is designed to KILL. Indiscriminately. Instantly and often accidentally. The two are not synonymous.
If you are looking for actors to be heros you need a reality check. This administration is a dumpster fire train wreck & Mcconaughey is a buffoon for siding with them.
i agree, and like he said we need to come up with a solution that focuses on mental health and find middle ground where it wont infringe the second amendment which is very important to me
@@floridajeepgirl3524 The problem is these liberal maniacs don’t want normal people to have guns - only the “govern me harder daddy” mentality is what they understand after the pandemic.

His message is from authenticity - he is a voice of many. This is from heart and he aligns with good values. Not a time to judge. A time to listen and a time to acknowledge the change needed. Matthew is trying to create a path. Do good be good say good 🙏🏼
Matthew had me in tears hearing of the children and their families. Rest in peace the little angels, the teacher and her loving husband. Condolences to all the families and friends. I pray those who can make change do.
Spot on, on the need for raising family values! Fatherless kids, pushing fathers out of thier children's lives, the "down with patriarchy" attitude in america is absolutely killing us. Bring the dad's back into the family picture, bring strong male role models back into the lives of fatherless kids.
First I'd like to offer my condolences to the families and loved ones that lost All of these most precious children 🙏 ❤️ 😇 My heart is truly breaking along with you. I had the unfortunate experience of losing a child. My son was 21 yrs old. He passed in 2006. 😥💔. Although his death was/is devastating to me. I couldn't imagine losing him in the way these poor babies were.😱😰😮💨💔. I'm so sorry! May God bless you all! May the Sadness be replaced by the good/happy memories. Try not to despair for we will all be with our loved ones again! 🙏😇❤️👏🌹🌠
God bless you and your beautiful wife for going to The White House. Your message was serious, easy to understand and perfect for the moment and times that we are living in today. Thank you both….praying for our world.🙏🏾
I too have lost a son, not in such brutal circumstances, but none the less the grief and mourning is intense. Matthew you speak from the heart. How you held it together…. I don’t know. Much kudos to you.
A strong man armed His goods are safe Disarm the strong man and steal his goods Why is California 1# with gun laws 1# with active shooter?? Remember Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again wanting your feelings
Matthew shouldn't be the only celebrity speaking up for Uvalde. Celebrities voices sometimes can be heard louder than ours, so more celebrities should speak up for the Uvalde families!!!!!!
Matthew, I cannot say enough about your presentation at the White House. You honored the victims, individual gun rights and a path forward. Every word you spoke was not only very real, important and intelligent, it was also heartfelt. As a Texan who has a teacher for a daughter, a granddaughter and a Autistic grandson, I thank you! I hope change happens and we come up with smart and meaningful gun law changes. Only a temporary red light. Yes, I read your book and thrn got it on audio. You are a wonderful soul and I really think you need to be a bigger part of political change. A heartfelt thanks to both you and Camilla.
Here's a middle ground..a large magazine long rifle is legal for americans..but you need to earn the special right to own one. You can have an m1 garand or less, as a right. Anything more, you need a record of responsible ownership and good mental health.
@@mcallenbell2279 nope, the last sentence of the 2nd amendment stops that. The 2nd amendment also does not tell people what kind of guns they can and can’t have.
I bought a pair of green high top converse last night. I work at Dick's Sporting Goods so I'm always wearing green. I was going to buy a new pair of shoes at work yesterday, but didn't. They will be my new shoes and I will wear them with pride and sadness. We cannot forget these children. Never really been a big movie guy but I give Matthew so much credit. May their little souls rest easy🖤
Mass murder has and always will be illegal. Instead of more laws that only affects people who obey them, why not make examples out of the criminals? Maybe we’ve become too soft? I always knew Mathew was a great actor. Take a look…
They make more money off criminals than they do La Abiding Citizens.... DEA, CIA, FBI & ATF are the biggest drug dealing, ghost handlers in America so punish the Law Abiding Citizens and Give all glory to criminals 👍👍👍
Because it’s proven that doesn’t work and it never will. How do you wanna be harder on mass shooters? They are usually already dead. Just look at all other countries in the world where we don’t have these insane shootings.
@@erikholmes3898 so handguns, rifles, bombs, knives, swords, tasers, & all other weapons don't still exist? If someone intends to do harm they will find a way unless they're stopped.
@@erikholmes3898 well this was at the White House of the United States of America so that's why I referred to "this country" but yes, mental health is a global issue.
@@erikholmes3898 and I read that the doors to this school were not locked so that's why I brought up school security. Luckily I live in an area where schools have incredible security, bulletproof glass, & all doors are locked to the outside 24/7, but there are some in other areas that you can just walk right into unlocked doors. They should all have locked doors, security systems, and authorized entry only at the very least.
Wow Mathew, wow. Deep respect and appreciation for helping the public understand the responsibility of gun ownership. My hope is that you are able to continue with the same discipline that you provide for the differing roles in your life. Your voice will elicit the opportunity of change and in turn the public will come to terms of what is just and what is right. You've given a voice to the dead and survivors, thank you.
Man y’all are so duped it’s hysterical. The same people who are applauding this guy were screaming “lock me down harder daddy” for the last 2 years. Ole Matt here lost me at “red flag laws”. All gun laws are infringements 🏴☠️🇺🇸
I have cried over and over throughout this speech! I feel empathy for those who lost a loved one as I have lost a loved one in my family. My heart breaks for them and I pray that they may have peace. Thank you so much for sharing their story. We do have more in common than we are being told. We have to come together and make the changes to make sure this stops happening. This is the best most inspiring speech I have heard in years!
This guy is a native Texan guy and I respect him also he's spoke whit his heart we feel his pain God bless America and his people My respect to this great man dios lo cuide siempre por do6el este
@Brian Z Pretty easy to be productive when you grow up in a generation that carries most of the wealth, and get paid to talk to a camera purely because of who you are. Further, productivity has no bearing on if he's correct or not, which he isn't, we are talking about a dude who worked in hollywood for decades, knew the dark underside, may not have participated but still kept quiet and allowed the abuse of child actors, weird sex parties, and the prostitution of young actresses to get roles, doesn't sound like a guy I would ever take any advice from, I may as well listen to Hunter Biden or his dad.
For real, I was crying 😭 way up here in TN. My brother owns an AR-15, actually, several of them. 2 of them are stock, basically just a pistol with a stock and barrel. But, he's got one, that he admits is ridiculous. It's got a special barrel (which, like the uvalde shooter's) causes the bullets to become really powerful somehow, I think it somehow increases bullet speed or something, but makes a massive difference in the way the bullet hits a target to where it just destroys the target. Also has a $50-100 part which turns the gun into a full Auto, and another part that increases accuracy and reduces recoil. It's insane, it should be illegal, and in fact Virginia where he lives was in the process of making some of those mods illegal. Even he thinks it's too much for a citizen to have. I think these guns are very dangerous for several reasons. Someone purchasing a pistol should be able to get one after passing a background check. But someone purchasing one of these rifles needs training, classes, and range time before being allowed to own one. Also, make these gun parts and gun mods require the same background checks and training certificates as the guns themselves. Once you've done the training, and waited the required wait times, you can buy all the parts you want, even though some parts need to just be outlawed altogether, because it's these mods that are making these guns so damn dangerous. I also believe that people who own guns should be required to kill at least one deer per year. Why? Deer are becoming an invasive nuisance species all over the country, which is attributed to the fact that we have like 4 million less hunters than we had in the 70s. Why do I think people should kill an animal? Because seeing what a gun can do, shows how dangerous they are. It seems like a lot of people nowadays just don't realize what's actually going to happen when they pull the trigger. Either let them experience it first hand, or make them watch a graphic video of it during their gun training. Anyway, I don't know, maybe my ideas aren't perfect, but they're ideas, that's more than Washington has done so far for basically the last 30 years.
Are you serious? This was the most incredible piece of political BS I have ever seen and I’m 50.. If you are too simple minded to understand what his motivation truly is , I feel terrible for the USA .. Emotions have no place when making important decisions, they only ever lead to very bad policy. This precedent of letting a Hollywood actor to lecture from the podium no less is an abuse of power and truly disgusting.
@@tirkentube everything you wrote about the ar-15 of your kin is utter bs, with no scientific truth behind whatsoever. Which makes your discourse only slightly more ignorante than matthews. For the love of anything that matters, go educate yourself about the topic.
"The time is great and the hour is late. Everyone is important now. Everyone has something to give, even if it is very small. Here Heaven and Earth come together because they serve the same purpose. It is in serving the same purpose that their relationship becomes recognized." We live in a time where each and every one of is becoming increasingly dependent upon one another, and that is why I share this quote from *Living the Way of Knowledge* - a free book by Marshall Vian Summers, given now for our preparation for the difficult future ahead.
Ok, but there’s maybe 1 or 2 weapons of choice for mass murderers…. Calling an AR-15 a long/sporting rifle is a fucking joke. It’s not used for sport… it’s used to mow down children in schools.

But at the same time empowering the evil to attack the good. So to you mister famous person with to much influence. I feel bad for lose of any life due to ignorance of the people in power.
Dear Sir, I don't know why God doesn't step in when someone like this want to destroy lives. I don't understand how or why someone could think of doing this. What I do know is something has changed! I'm fifty-four years old went school in small town farm land mostly surround it. Ever truck in the parking lot had gun rack and yes most if not all had fun in them. I don't remember one time someone saying I'm gonna shoot you or myself. What changed? Video games? Not having a dad in the home? Kids not going to church? I don't know and I have been trying to figure it out! To stop this from happening again. I don't think it guns. I think it is people that are broken. If we got rid of ever gun this tragedy is still gonna happen. Evil will find a way! So how do we fix people who are broken minded? I agree with you something has to start right now before we are at this exact moment again! Change the gun laws just make use feel better. There we did something about this! You and I both know it not the answer. My heart goes out to each one of the Moms and Dads who lost a child that day and the ones before them. Please let's find out why? I'll help you any way I can.

@@firstlast8258 well said! I totally agree. Best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to have a good guy with a gun! In fact, it’s probably the only way….because people who are determined to hurt others WILL CONTINUALLY SEEK THEIR WILL
@@zooeyzanger3318 no, not wrong ; rather it’s truth. None of this “common sense gun control” is about saving lives…..it’s about taking control. Look into the facts not the feelings. Laws do not eliminate crime (unfortunately) Murder is already illegal…yet it’s still happening. NY, Chicago and the other states and or cities that have the strictest gun control also have the highest murder rate. That’s because criminals know that theta the likely to it face any resistance from the people (because they are likely not armed) Schools have been made gun free zones…..why do cowards pick those areas to do their evil? BECAUSE they are gun free zones. An armed teacher just stopped a shootiing at a school in Texas (I believe ) saving the lives of many lives of many. Why isn’t that all over the media? It doesn’t support the narrative that guns are bad. We’ll truth is criminals have been obtained guns illegally for decades…..and they always will. Criminals have been filing off serial numbers fine decades to make untraceable guns. More gun laws won’t stop that. Especially the laws that punish the innocent & take away our rights. If your 2nd Amendment Right is either taken away (or you give it up) then what’s to stop the political powers from taking away the rest of those rights? Nothing. (Zooey, if your not an American Citizen then none of this rights are yours.

@@andjon3710 A gun is a tool just like a knife. What makes people go out and shoot up places? I can tell you it is not the gun. Removing one tool is not going to stop people from wanting to hurt and kill others. There will always be other tools and ways to kill people. You can run over an entire crowd of people with a car as we have recently seen. Guns are not the problem and creating more gun control laws will not help. Did you know that schools are gun-free zones? Yet, they bring the guns anyway. People will ALWAYS break the law. Why do people call the police when they are in trouble? Because they provide lethal defense for them. Good people with weapons stop bad people with weapons. Who ended up stopping the Robb Elementary School gunman? A good guy with a gun.
God be with you and your family you had a great speech now if people just listen that would be wonderful❤ my heart is with the victims and their families thanks for standing up now if people listen that would be wonderful
Me, as a German had to look up what a AR15 rifle is. Raising the age to 21 for access to a weapon like this is your solution? Why in the world would anyone other than a trained soldier at war need a weapon like this? This is far beyond I got the right to protect me and my property. This is insane. Apart from that, great speach which had me in tears. Was just hoping for you to demand real change.
Many moons back, Charlie Sheen was on Piers Morgan’s show on CNN where they talked about guns. He was asked, somewhat rhetorically, what’s an AR-15 for/who would need it? And Sheen responded: those going to war. But, unfortunately, the US religious fundamentalism, including its fundamentalism for the second amendment, means that the best you can do is get a raising of the minimum age and perhaps the idea that such military grade weapons only go to those who are members of registered militias. And I can tell you right now even that won’t happen, given how gung ho the reactionary fire arms crowd is about its right to own anything, including a nuclear bazooka.
Yeah cause you know thugs won't use automatic rifles right? Crying over an actor is pathetic and weak just like this country has become. Save your tears for friends and family not celebrity speeches that are rehearsed.
i always wonder how genuine actors are when they give impassioned monologues like this. you can hear the emotion here. the quaver cannot be feigned imo.

A really moving speech. As a person whose advocated for many causes in my life, I felt this speech. And sadly its one that wasn't really listened to was it? Immediately trying to invalidate it by some reporters. This country is falling apart. I'm a person who pays tremendous amounts to just breath a month, due to a illness I didn't want or ask for. And it falls on deaf ears. I've seen children unable to walk, be denied wheelchairs. I've seen so many wrongs in my life. And sadly they will continue and are continuing until my final breath.
@@victorb1587 you know what? Hope one day nobody in your family dies by gun violence and while you are mourning with heartache, I hope they won't say you are a paid actor.
Exactly most NRA members want more gun regulation but that's not what's being reported. Alot more people want this than we are led to believe by gun lobbyists and politicians
A public person who is using their platform to make real change in the world is exactly what Mathew did. His empathy was beyond heartfelt and his words were carefully chosen to bring life into politics. He made sure to personalize these children so congress and law markers can't use the word "victim" as a dehumanizing term among each other.
@Bark Barkaslot I live in Delaware and there are legit 30 shootings a day in the Wilmington/Philadelphia area. I'm not naive, and it happens everywhere. But how is bringing awareness during a moment of complete public outrage a bad thing? It's a platform. That's how justice for George Floyd brought police brutality back into the forefront and finally sparked reform. Unfortunately we are all victims of a society where we only show outrage during times of tragedy, not along the way to that occurrence. It's a slow burn but someone has to take those crucial steps forward first.
First we need a way to monitor for those who have mental health issues. Second, the police need to not be cowards and confront the killer instead of standing around with their thumbs up their … Sounds like this kid was bullied. Why do schools not do anything about bullies? I was bullied. It’s horrible. We need to teach kids to have empathy and kindness.
Probably because almost half the country voted for a bully (Trump) and those folks are completely ok with his actions. That’s one of many reasons why bullying is ok.
@@WWIE444 would you rather have someone who makes mean tweets but was the first president not to start any new wars since jimmy carter? Or someone who pretends to be a prince of peace but has voted in support for every major war in the past 50 years and has profited from them?
As a non American, I don't know whether Matthew's suggestions of moving forward are stupid for being so careful or smart for taking baby steps to not shock the public. In all other modern countries people aren't even able to buy automatic weapons and here he's begging to raise the age to 21. That's crazy. Ban all guns from the public is the only sane goal. But I guess that's out of the question in a country which politics are funded by corporations. 🤷

An eloquent speech and so many good points. However, he's asking for decency from people who clearly have no scruples. The people on power do not care, they've long since sacrificed every single one of their values for money.
This is the absolute dumbest comment you could make. Do you lock your car doors when you get out? Why? A bad person can just break the window. Why have any laws at all if bad people are going to do bad things.
I admire your strength through your whole speech and for your courage to stand up for most of the parents of the children and for a cause thank you Matthew hugs to you and Camille and the fam.
