    Wow!! This just shows how much you guys live in a completely different planet!! I'm calling bull on this you are talking from a point of view that is wrong and makes 0 sense. The left won't have converstions with the right? Obviously And make 0 good points. You all live in a echo chamber surrounded by the wrong people feeding you that info. I feel as mathew is making these points to show us how they are trying to feed this down our throat by changing the way you talk about it. These polls you are talking about are from 1000 people only at random, not a majority of Americans 😂 ABC, and mathew do better!! cause this is sad. You are not the voice of reason. You are telling the left how to act cause they are out of control and that yes you are the perfect person for. I think I see what's going on here but it's sad you all have to resort to this cause you destroyed a large percentage of the population and that's YOUR fault and you all are to blame! Shame 🔔 shame 🔔 shame 🔔 haha, this has to be a joke!

    That good his using his 1 amendment right, doing his constitutional duty. Voicing his opinion. Also a good thing that opinions can’t change Constitutional rights. With everything going on in the world today people still want to talk about advocating gun control? It’s said time and time again, criminals do not care about gun control. Stop interviewing people that mean nothing. And start interviewing gang members from the streets of Detroit or Compton or any Democratic stronghold city and ask them about gun control….. see what they say.

    Just stop it with the gun-free school zones. Problem solved. Gun-free school zones turn our children into sitting ducks in schools for criminals who want to shoot as many people as they can knowing that there will be no responsible adults inside who can shoot back at them. It doesn't cost billions of dollars to make the kids safe. Take down the Gun-free school zone signs and let some responsible adults carry inside the schools. Better yet, replace the Gun-free school zone signs with signs that say, "Adults in this building may be armed and they will do whatever it takes to protect the children inside." Trust me, this will work.

    You don’t understand Guns don’t kill people people kill people if more gun owners that are trained packed a gun to help police stop shooters and help others stop shootings there would be less Shootings I pack and have help others when it was needed

    Now History always has markers that show the progression of how History was made.
    This music video shows just a few of the markers showing where we are headed with out a miraculous change in direction and attitudes. Especially those in public service and Law Enforcement. If they were Wholly committed to keeping their Oath to up hold and defend the Limits God placed on those in power via the Bill of rights and Constitution. They could stop the slide into a police State and complete collapse. As it is those who just follow orders will be forced to become the BAD GUYS! Betraying their Oath, loved ones, and their own soul. Or fight back with We The People! In case you think that is a winning strategy you might want to remember the recent past, Because what brought Patriots from all over the country to Virginia, Nevada, and elsewhere has not subsided. In fact it has grown exponentially along with the frustration and numbers of those who feel it!
    I give you “It's All We Can Do Just To Keep Our Cool, When we're the only ones trying to play by the rules!
    https://rumble.com/v3h7iv4-all-we-can-do-just-to-keep-out...
    To all those foolish enough to think terrorizing our fellow Americans is going to intimidate Patriots into Surrendering our rights, Freedom, or will to defend our loved ones and neighbors! Intimidation is not what is growing in the Patriot community and that community is growing exponentially!

    Trade the word gun for alcohol and lets have a conversation. Alcohol is the biggest contributing factor in cases of abuse, rape, neglect, suicide, vehicular homicide, and on and on.

    I think that if you oppose people owning firearms then you should look into moving to Europe because America is not the place for you. In this republic, we have the right to keep and bear arms and that right will not be infringed upon. So if you oppose gun ownership then I suggest you scout out the appropriate country for you to live in where you will be more comfortable.
    The 2nd amendment is not going anywhere.

    Not willing to listen to another long, drawn out idea about gun control. If who ever decided to put money into protecting schools from maniacs made it so hard to apply then they don't want gun control to happen in schools. And while were at it, why stop at school safety, why not get legislation to keep perverts, cross dressers and straight up homosexuals and the school boards who support them out of schools too? Aren't children in real danger if they're so confused they want to change sexes? I think so. Look, people say control the guns and you control the people but people can and will find other ways to do harm. So we must control the people who are most likely to use guns during the course of a crime, to kill innocent people, shoot up a school and celebrate after looting a Dollar Store and setting it on fire.

    This man is running for governor obviously, good luck. Anything must be done to stop this loophole arms selling by private citizens with zero "responsibility". Abbott wants fascism with police forces and anti-immigrant racists, not sure what McC could do to make any changes in this state. Vote youth and progressives for future, he sells Escalades for a living.

    The idea that we, the law-abiding, are responsible for the acts of evil criminals is insulting and absolute utter brainwashed BS. when someone gets killed by a drunk driver we don't blame the car or other drivers who has nothing to do with it. we blame the guy that got drunk decided to drive and ended up killing someone…

    I heard he wants to run for Pres. I would NEVER vote for a Professional paid liar! Thats all these actors are – LIARS! Paid to pretend to be someone else on film. And after years of it they get pretty good at lying! Look at the liar Baldwin. Lied his ass off in court and got away with murder. Being Pres isn't about popularity unless it's about policy and effects. How good would that person do. Trump brought the class back that the joke of a pres Obama took away. Vote for a successful businessman that knows how to make money not spend it willy nilly like the dems like to do.

    Always remember, ANYONE who advocates for more Gun Control while current Gun Control Laws go unenforced by the same people advocating for more Gun Control is INSINCERE at best and likely a sociopathic predator at worst… And as in this case and every other case, given enough time, they always reveal their true colors, loyalties, and allegiances… Hammer and Sickle forever, amma right, boys? 😉

    Pass an amendment. I have the same issue with the right on the drug war where they dont want to pass an amendment to prohibit drugs they pass unconstitutional federal laws. Both parties want the president to be able to send troops without a declaration of war.

    Some of the anti gun people are either privileged, misinformed, or have ulterior motives.

    Try living in the hood where you got crackheads out of hand, loose pitbulls, and criminals.

    Try living in rural areas with wild animals, loose dogs, and methheads.

    I get the type of people who watch abc live in safe gated communities where police repond to every little thing but not everyone is in the same boat. Self defense is a personal responsibility.

    From a purely pragmatic perspective a gun ban would be unenforceable and the courts would strike it down.

    December 20, 2023 at 7:35 am

    Your guys gun responsibility means nothing. All you are trying to do is still control people with guns. IT AINT GOING TO HAPPEN SO SIT DOWN AND SHUT YOUR MOUTHS.

  27. @jeffoh5787

    If you ban guns, go ahead and ban free speech. No difference.

  28. @jeffoh5787

    Cant wait until someone with Mathew's status starts spewing nonsense about banning free speech next. This is a direct comparison.

  32. @thyme3605

    Hey McConaughey why not talk about mental illness and MEDS? Law abiding citizens should NOT take responsibility for criminals! Personal responsibility. Pharma needs investigated.

    McConaughey for persident 2024 / 2028 anyone. Don't treat people like there stupid and let gets so actually sh** done. I would vote for that in a heartbeat

    Honestly even though I am a Democrat well independent the patronizing nature of Democrats pisses me off. Your only in the place your at in life because of your money your daddy money and his daddies money. Your not better the the vast majority or poor whites in this country but if you act like it and even the poor that agree with you Hate You for it.

  38. @madmachanicest9955

    December 20, 2023 at 7:35 am

    Ok change the conversation to change your opponents perspective that actually a claver tactic.

    We do need to take responsibility for the problem our guns create and the porblems that fuel gun violence.

    On a personal and societal level.

  39. @Kaltwasser45

    December 20, 2023 at 7:35 am

    Wait, you say take responsibility? You want us to take responsibility for a criminals actions? Those are not personal autonomous responsibility measures. Can I blame you for all of the irresponsible alcohol deaths through driving, rape, murder, and abuse? Alcohol isn't and right, it's a privilege and still yet you couldn't make the connection. Somehow you seem to think a fundamental right is based on a group taking responsibility for a criminals behavior's.

    Only a bird brain will think being manipulative through word usage can get us to surrender our rights because of criminals. Criminals personal behaviors aren't the guarantors of our rights. The fundamental problem is his lack of understanding of the Constitution and Bill Of Rights, heck most of the problems in this country have to deal with that.
