US President Joe Biden today met with Oscar-winning actor and Uvalde native Matthew McConaughey to discuss gun responsibility measures
Nineteen children and two teachers were killed at a primary school in Mr McConaughey's hometown on 24 May by an 18-year-old gunman wielding a semi-automatic rifle.
The actor also went through a brief biography of each victim, slamming his fist in the lectern at one point to describe one of them. It added that recent attacks by men acting alone demonstrated the challenge of protecting vulnerable targets and also outlined the possibilities to potential attackers. DHS also mentioned the attack in Buffalo, New York, in which an 18-year-old with an assault rifle murdered 10 African-Americans, and a 2019 attack in El Paso, Texas that targeted Hispanic people.
