Matthew McConaughey is one of the many celebrities in Hollywood begging for an end to gun violence after another school shooting happened in Texas, at Robb Elementary School.
The Oscar-winning star made a passionate plea on his Instagram asking for people to find some common ground with one another so that action can be taken so these kinds of tragedies don't have to keep happening to children in America.
It was another senseless tragedy that has prompted people all over social media to beg senators to tighten gun laws. Among the celebrities calling for change was Chris Evans, Selena Gomez, and many more.
"As you are all aware there was another mass shooting today, this time in my home town of Uvalde, Texas. Once again, we have tragically proven that we are failing to be responsible for the rights our freedoms grant us." he wrote on Instagram.
"'How do we repair the problem? What small sacrifices can we individually take today, to preserve a healthier and safer nation, state, and neighborhood tomorrow?'"
"We cannot exhale one again, make excuses, and accept these traffic realities as the status quo. As Americans, Texans, mothers and fathers, it's time we re-evaluate, and renegotiate our wants from our needs."
"This is an epidemic we can control and whichever side of the aisle we may stand on, we all know we can do better."
"Action must be taken so that no parent has to experience what the parents in Uvalde and the others before them have endured. And to those who dropped off their loved ones today not knowing it was goodbye, no words can comprehend or heal your loss."
Matthew McConaughey's post had tons of people commenting in agreement with him, also hoping that there will be change moving forward now.
Our own thoughts are with the families affected by this tragedy.
