Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey called for gun"responsibility" but not"control" on Monday in the aftermath of the school shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.
McConaughey added the current discussion about gun control has not led to change, and lawmakers should therefore focus on gun responsibility instead of control. The red flag system McConaughey recommended included a background check, along with a waiting period to allow law enforcement or family members to file petitions that would block someone's ability to purchase a gun for a certain period of time. He also said there should be a waiting period because people sometimes purchase guns in a fit of rage and use them to harm others.
