Mark Hamill nearly turned latest role because of gun violence
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
""Gun violence is just one of the worst aspects of American life," he said. "I remember when they banned the assault weapon under [President Bill] Clinton, and it lapsed under [President] George W. [Bush]. You see the statistics where there's a steep drop in shootings without an AR-15, and then they go right back up when it's allowed again, he told Entertainment Weekly."
The Independent covers major US issues including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech and invests in on-the-ground reporting. The outlet investigates topics such as the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produces documentaries like 'The A Word' spotlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent requests donations to maintain reporting accessibility without paywalls and to continue sending journalists to speak to multiple perspectives. Actor Mark Hamill almost declined a role due to his opposition to gun violence, noting shootings dropped during the assault-weapon ban and rose again after the ban lapsed, and stating, "I hate guns."
