Tuesday night Dallas Buyers Club I started:

“As you all know, there was another mass shooting today, this time in my hometown of Uvalade, Texas. Again, we have sadly demonstrated that we have failed to hold our freedom accountable for the rights we have been granted. “

Instead of simply offering his condolences to the bereaved families (although his heart, of course, was broken for them during this sad time), he called on the public to do something about this horrific pattern of mass shootings:

“Every American now looks deeper and deeper into the mirror and asks himself, ‘What is our true value?’ How do we fix the problem? How many small sacrifices can we individually make today to protect a healthy and secure nation, state and neighbor tomorrow? ‘ We can’t breathe again, we can’t make excuses and we can’t accept this sad reality as a state of stability. “

You can say that again! It’s out of time for a change! How many innocent children will have to die until the legislators do more for the safety of all in our country ?! It is reprehensible to think that children and parents should ever be afraid to go to school (or any other public location in that regard)! In this regard, Matthew continues:

“As Americans, Texans, as mothers and fathers, now is the time to re-evaluate us, and re-evaluate our needs from our own. We need to rearrange our values ​​and find a common ground on this destructive American reality that has sadly become a problem for our children.

It’s an epidemic that we can control, and no matter which isle we stand on, we all know we can do better. We need to do better. Measures should be taken to ensure that parents do not feel overwhelmed or overwhelmed by what others have experienced before. ”
