He also announced the launch of the Green Lights Grant Initiative, a program he founded \u200cwith his wife Camilla to help <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/matthew-mcconaughey-wants-to-change-the-term-gun-control-to-pass-more-gun-control\/\" title=\"McConaughey aims to reframe 'gun control' for increased measures.\">schools access federal grant money<\/a> for safety and security.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the passage of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) last year, which allocated funding for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-releases-list-of-president-trumps-accomplishments-and-it-is-historic\/\" title=\"White House Releases List of President Trump\u2019s Accomplishments \u2013  And It Is Historic!\">mental health services<\/a> and school security in response to the Uvalde shooting, McConaughey revealed \u2062that the money has not yet reached the schools. He expressed frustration that none of the 12 schools in the\u2062 area that applied for the funding have received it, calling it a &#8220;zero percent success rate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>McConaughey emphasized the need to simplify the process \u2063and connect school\u200b districts to the billions of dollars available for making schools safer. He believes that the\u2064 lack \u200dof progress\u2064 in implementing gun control measures after tragedies is due to the way the\u200c debate is\u2062 framed.<\/p>\n<p>According to McConaughey, changing the word &#8220;control&#8221; to &#8220;responsibility&#8221; was a key factor in getting the attention of Second Amendment defenders. He explained that &#8220;control&#8221; sounds like a mandate, while &#8220;responsibility&#8221;\u2063 is a value that resonates \u200cwith many, including those on the far-right or Republicans\u200b who take pride in being responsible.<\/p>\n<p>In a 2018 rally for the anti-gun March\u2063 For Our Lives group in Austin, Texas, McConaughey previously called on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/utah-axes-gun-permit-requirement\/\" title=\"Utah Axes Gun-Permit Requirement\u00a0\">law-abiding gun owners<\/a> to &#8220;take one for the team&#8221;\u2064 and give up certain gun rights,\u2063 including the ownership of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-biden-announces-executive-order-crackdown-on-guns-new-anti-gun-atf-director\/\" title=\"BREAKING: Biden Announces Executive Order Crackdown On Guns, New Anti-Gun ATF Director\">semi-automatic long guns<\/a> and high-capacity \u2064magazines.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">FLASHBACK: Here is Matthew McConaughey in 2018 calling for \u2062a total civilian ban on assault weapons<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Take one for the \u200bteam and set them down&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/uHVoGfvzDQ\">pic.twitter.com\/uHVoGfvzDQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jack Poso \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@JackPosobiec) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JackPosobiec\/status\/1534263307531599873?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 7, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-matthew-mcconaughey-gives-away-the-political-lefts-game-on-gun-control\">WATCH: Matthew McConaughey Gives Away The Political Left\u2019s Game On \u2062Gun Control<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matthew McConaughey suggests gun control activists should reframe their message as &#8220;gun responsibility&#8221; to gain support from Second Amendment advocates.
