Actor Matthew McConaughey in an op-ed for the Austin American-Statesman Sunday applauded the bipartisan federal gun bill thatThe law enhanced background checks for people under 21, increased funding for mental health and school safety and provided incentives for states to implement "red flag" laws. It's the most significant federal gun legislation passed in nearly 30 years.

"This is a quintessential virtue of America, where two seemingly contradictory approaches to the same problem can be true at the same time, AND, when combined, actually reveal a more useful and powerful solution than either on its own.""For responsible gun owners, this bill does not take your guns away or restrict access to firearms," McConaughey wrote.

"This bill will save innocent lives by keeping guns out of the law-breaking and irresponsible hands that are trying to hijack the Second Amendment."
