Matthew McConaughey: Responsible gun owners need to step up

Actor Matthew McConaughey, who grew up in Uvalde, Texas, spoke at the White House press briefing about his experiences in the town following the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School. At times becoming emotional, McConaughey told stories of meeting with the families of the children killed and how this time things may finally be different with regard to gun reforms. Telling reporters that "we're not as divided on this as we're being told we are," the actor implored gun owners to step up and support reforms including raising the minimum age for assault rifle ownership to 21 and supporting background checks and waiting periods for gun ownership.
