“I’m a father, the son of a kindergarten teacher, and an American. And I was born in Uvalde, Texas, that’s why I decided to write.” Thus begins the editorial published today in the American-Statesman by Matthew McConaughey, the Oscar-winning actor for “Dallas Buyers Club”, who in recent months has toyed with the idea of a candidacy for governor of Texas, stating that instead of controlling on guns we should talk about gun responsibility “.” The debate on gun control has caused nothing but the status quo – continues the 52-year-old actor in the Austin newspaper, the capital of Texas where he lives with his wife and the three children – I believe that responsible Americans, who follow the law, have the right, enshrined in our founding fathers in the Second Amendment, to bear arms. “” I also believe that we have a cultural obligation to slow down the senseless slaughter of our children “, adds the Texan actor, underlining that while gun control is” an obligation that can violate “the Second amended, responsibility” is a duty that would respect it “. – he adds – keeping weapons out of the hands of dangerous people is not only the only responsible thing to do, but also the best way to protect the Second Amendment. We can do both. “In the article McConaughey actually suggests measures already discussed, but included in the framework of responsibility: checks on buyers of all weapons, raising the minimum age for purchasing weapons from 18 to 21 years of age. ‘assault, with a waiting period for sales and a’ red flag ‘system to identify people who cannot buy weapons. The actor then urges members of Congress to “make bipartisan compromises” for these four “reasonable measures to restore responsible possession of weapons in our country.” “It is not a choice between weapons and not weapons – concludes the Texan actor who last November he said that political candidacy “is not a path I want to take right now” – it is a question of responsible choice. It is the purely American choice: where I have the right to be myself, you have the freedom to be yourself and together we have a responsibility to be the United States. “
