Another big-shot celebrity has weighed in on the topic of gun control, and as you can imagine, what they had to say was as hypocritical as it was ill-considered.
Known as a left-wing fire-brand even among his fellow Hollywood liberals, Matt Damon has advocated for countless progressive causes. He delivered an anti-US tirade in Good Will Hunting, was buddies with the late A People’s History of the United States author Howard Zinn, and supported the election of Barack Obama. Today, however, he offered his thoughts on guns, one of the current objects of liberal’s hatred after the Orlando shooting.
Speaking while on a press tour for his a Bourne filmed in Australia, itself a country in which gun owners have few rights, Damon heaped praise on the island nation while criticizing his own country’s alleged failure to rein in gun violence. Admiring how Australia confiscated it’s citizens firearms “in one fell swoop,” the star lamented that he doesn’t “know what needs to happen” to make people support, among other things, proposals to keep people on the terror watch and no fly lists from buying weapons.

Matt Damon this is not the movies where you can do all the badass moves and get your way. Trying to take guns from Americans will cause a lot of death. You will start another civil war. I know Texans are not giving up a single gun voluntarily. So if your movie badass self feels lucky come and try to take them.
Yippee more hooligan world blah blah blah, who gives a hoot?
If Hollywood is so concerned with gun control, they need to stop with all the movies they make with nothing but people shooting everyone up with guns!! Hypocrites!!
What an idiot and sell out America I no longer care about his movies he can stick it
