Not Alright: Matthew McConaughey Advocates for ‘Moderate’ Gun Control

Uvalde was not the only celebrity to endorse gun control. Many Hollywood actors have also taken to Twitter to spread liberal propaganda. If you aren’t on board with gun-grabbing, then you are an evil person who wants children to die. Matthew McConaughey, in his latest plea, has taken these talking points to bubble-wrap them under the pretext of moderation. 

According to Deadline, McConaughey is calling for “enacting background checks, Red Flag Laws and age upping the requirement on semi-automatic firearms to 21.” He says that he only supports “gun responsibility.” It doesn’t take an expert to realize that propositions such as Red Flag laws at the federal level are anything but moderate, but extremely radical.

Red Flag laws, in essence, allow the government to strip private citizens of their legally-purchased weapons because they’ve been deemed “at-risk”. The problem lies with who gets to deem who as “at-risk” and what criteria can constitute an “at-risk” individual. With laws like these, the untapped potential of tyranny exists. This is why the radical left champions it.

McConaughey was quite open-minded about past issues, and has even shown an willingness to discuss with conservatives. It is admirable. It is evident that he does not understand the potential consequences of Red Flag laws to protect the 2nd Amendment and freedom in the country.

If he truly believes what he says in his letter that “responsible, law-abiding Americans have a Second Amendment right, enshrined by our founders, to bear arms,” then he would not support the veiled tyranny of red flag laws.
