Matthew McConaughey White House Speech.

Following the slaughter of 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas, last month – one of America’s worst school shootings – Matthew McConaughey delivered a passionate and impassioned speech at the White House on the need for “responsible” gun regulation.

McConaughey, who was born in Uvalde, gave a 22-minute statement to a hushed White House press briefing room on how he and his wife Camilla had spent the previous week with mourning families and spoken at length about their loss – and the importance of “making these lives matter.”

He gave a brief biography of each victim, pounding his hand on the lectern at one point in apparent frustration at the loss of life.

With an assault weapon, Salvador Ramos, a high school dropout, went on a violent rampage at the school. Law enforcement eventually killed him.

While respecting Americans’ freedom to possess arms under the Second Amendment, McConaughey believes that constitutional right does not preclude other options.

“We have got to take a sober, honest and humble look in the mirror.

“We have got to get some real courage and honour our immortal obligations – instead of our party affiliations.

“Enough of the counter-punching, enough of the invalidation of the other side. Let’s find a middle ground – the place where most of us Americans live anyway – especially on this issue.

“Maybe set an example for our children give us reason to tell them…these are great American leaders right here I hope you grow up to be like them.

“We can’t truly be leaders if we are only living for re-election.” He said.

“I believe that responsible, law-abiding Americans have a Second Amendment right, enshrined by our founders, to bear arms. I also believe we have a cultural obligation to take steps toward slowing down the senseless killing of our children,” he wrote.

“There is no constitutional barrier to gun responsibility,” McConaughey continued. “Keeping firearms out of the hands of dangerous people is not only the responsible thing to do, it is the best way to protect the Second Amendment. We can do both.”
