The day before his speech, the actor wrote an op-ed in 'The Austin American-Statesman' calling for responsible gun ownership.

I believe that responsible, law-abiding Americans have a Second Amendment right, enshrined by our founders, to bear arms, Matthew McConaughey, via op-ed in 'The Austin American-Statesman'.

I also believe we have a cultural obligation to take steps toward slowing down the senseless killing of our children, Matthew McConaughey, via op-ed in 'The Austin American-Statesman'.

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, Matthew McConaughey, via op-ed in 'The Austin American-Statesman'
