Matthew McConaughey has penned at op-ed column calling for stricter gun control laws in the United States.
The actor – who was born in Uvalde, Texas where a mass shooting at a school took place last month – named background checks, age minimums for gun ownership, and mandatory waiting periods before the purchase of assault rifles as measures that could effectively diminish incidences of mass shootings in America. He also wrote with urgency about the need for more resources dedicated to mental health care.
