A little more than a year after the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas, actor Matthew McConaughey is continuing his efforts to nail down gun violence solutions by asking those on both sides of the aisle to change the way gun policy laws are framed.

“Quit patronizing. There’s a whole lot of Americans that need you to at least meet them where they are and what they’re understanding and how they’ve grown up on this issue with guns in their lives, and how they, most of them, do handle them responsibly. So don’t cast them down as being archaic or cavemen,” Mr. McConaughey said during an interview on ABC News’ “This Week” with Jonathan Karl, which aired on July 30.
