He's not saying we should "forget that right", it's an analogy to we should "forget that name" just because public opinion has changed. It's an analogy. An analogy for what? Obviously he thinks the name should be changed. Social consciousness. When the first levee breaks, everybody gets on board. Hope and change. He finds it similar with his view on guns? Forget that right? What do you think the analogy is referring to in change (concerning guns)? Hope and change. Is English not your first language? He is saying that people who jump on politically correct band wagons are idiots. He is comparing idiots who suddenly say "oh we should change the racist team name after all these years" to people who say "forget the right to own guns because a few people use them for evil." Get it? That's not what he is saying. It was kewl when he was small. Now social consciousness. Court of public opinion. He knows better now because it's the right thing to do. Because it's going to change. He's good with it. It's not going to hurt me. It's just... I love the emblem. I dig it. It gives me a little fire and some oomph. But now that it's in the court of public opinion, it's going to change. I wish it wouldn't, but it will. He's fired guns before-he liked it it's in the second amendment but lets go beyond your rights it's a gun and I feel you have one because in gives you a sense of empowerment...of pleasure...on a regulated range where everything is controlled but out there in the wild, things happen beyond your control and I don't trust you to make the right decisions because guns give you a sense of power and pleasure "I get it. You have the right to have guns. But look, let's forget that right. Let's forget the pleasure you get safely on your range, because it's in the wrong hands in other places."

Are you writing poems? He is musing on the Redskins debate here, after being asked what he though about it. He is saying that, at one time, no one had a problem with he name. But these days, it's in the social consciousness (sic), aka in the public spotlight. It's a red button issue. It seems like whenever the initiative to change something gets started, everyone starts joining it, for no apparent reason. Here he is not talking in first person. He is quoting what a person who supports gun control would say. He is comparing the absurdity of changing the Redskins name (because a few people get offended) to having gun control because of a few people who misuse them. Just like most Native Americans don't have a problem with the name, most gun owners don't misuse guns. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

My god. Arfcom may be able to addition and subtraction, but not algebra. My kids could figure out that he is comparing shaming the redskins name with banning guns just because they too can become politically incorrect even though they are a right.

Quoted: Matthew McConaughey says: "I get it. You have the right to have guns. But look, let's forget that right." His new movie Interstellar will be coming out soon, are we going to teach him a lesson that stupid actors should not be commenting on Gun Rights? http://www.examiner.com/article/interstellar-patrons-deserve-clarification-of-mcconaughey-s-gun-comment View Quote |

I tried to search for the man's true opinion on the 2A, but all I found were 10 pages of search results blowing his Redskins comment out of proportion.

In this case, it is his feeling against it. I'll walk you through some more analysis: Take the context of "let us forget about that right". It is the same context earlier with "we were all fine with it... now we gotta change it. Both times, he is using the plural. "We". As in the average citizen. Of course, he is not in support of the Redskins name change. Or gun control. He is quoting in the sentence. |

I too agree with the good Mr McConaughey and will soon be burning all my firearms because of how horrible the Redskins played this year. For reals. I'm %100 sure that was what he meant.

I'll watch the fuck out of Interstellar. I don't care what the actors think. In fact, I assume I would hate all actors if I were ever to get to know them. I'm watching for the story.

He does talk in circles, and I had to read it a couple times before I got it, but his analogy is solid. He's comparing the popularity of the idea of changing the Redskins name, with the popularity of the idea of "forgetting" that bearing arms is a right. He agrees with neither sentiment. He's a solid dude in my book.

If you need a reason to not see Interstellar, I'd say there's a bigger one than gun control. The Earth isn't becoming unlivable and crops failing because of "bad luck" or some sort of natural disaster. It's pretty clear that MMGW/Climate Change/pollution is to blame. Which of course is bunk. Even with a wormhole, even if MMGW/climate change were real, it would still be 10,000 X easier to make greenhouses, irrigation systems etc. to save as many people as you can vs. trying to abandon earth.
