'Responsibility is to give the person the power of choice. It's forward-moving. It's affirmative... Don't tell me I ain't responsible.'
In the new interview, McConaughey suggested his approach was partly based on the fact that he wasn’t an expert on gun control and the second amendment but tried to approach the situation as “someone who’s going, ‘Come on, this can’t become status quo. Bullshit.’” But McConaughey also noted that he specifically tried not to be polarizing while discussing such a polarizing issue.
“It’s twofold. One, go in there with the human heart and raw stories from the families that they want shared. Now, I also know there’s thousands of those stories. Parkland, Buffalo, you can go back in time. There’s a million tears that can fall from two million different eyes… from families that lost [loved ones]. Nothing’s changed. So now on the other side, left side of the brain, we have to be tactical.
Part of that tactical thinking was framing the issue as gun “responsibility,” not “control,” a choice he defended and explained: “It became very clear to me early on, as a lover of words, that to the right, so-called staunch Second Amendmenters — these are my people in the South, I know them well — ‘control’ is a dirty word. It’s like a mandate. Whoa, whoa, whoa, don’t you tell me what to do, I got my right to bear arms.
