  1. Sad reality that this celebrity speaks with heart and logic in place far better than any elected official from the current administration and the last one. Alright alright alright
    But, please, let’s not ask. Let’s demand. Noww!!!
    Courage.and honor have been sorely lacking in this nation these days. Prove me wrong. Please!

  2. I’m Canadian and this brought a tear to my eye – terribly sorry that this happened and I hope my fellow American cousins can figure this out.

  3. THANK YOU SIR FOR STANDING UP FOR THE CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES. MAYBE THE POLITICIANS WILL LISTEN AND HEAR YOU. BLESSINGS.

    1. Standing up for the children would have been defending them. Not standing by as they got slaughtered.

  4. Wow!
    This is true compassion and advocacy in action. I don’t know how Matthew McConaughey was able to hold it together. I think he found his strength from the need to give a voice to the dreams of those slaughtered lambs, and for Irma & Joe. Giving the names of all the victims for the world to hear was needed. Let the lawmakers bow their heads and ignore their party colours but hear those names to do the right thing. Thank you, Matthew McConaughey!

  5. Bravo ,Matthew McCaughey. Finally a someone coming out ,speaking from the heart ❤ ,from someone other than a politician. Much love

  6. Wow… haven’t heard anything that meaningful and powerful from anyone except now. I have no idea how he held it together because listening to him has me in tears. Well done Matthew!

  7. finally. let’s replace the word ‘rights’ with ‘responsibility’ to have those rights. I also taught school in a small Texas town.

  8. This was the best bi-partisan plea. You can tell he respects gun owners, but also wants it harder to get guns.

  9. This is 100% a spot on bullseye. Honest, poignant, meaningful words, testimony from those affected both directly and indirectly. Not a call for the outlaw of guns or AR platform rifles. But real ways to put an end to this. Hopefully it doesn’t fall on deaf ears.

  10. Thank you for using your platform to be a voice for the families suffering unspeakable loss.
