A vocal supporter of “responsible gun ownership,” Matthew McConaughey got into a heated argument with Joy Behar of The View when she questioned the actor’s anti-gun views.
During his appearance on the show, McConaughey talked about the value of his career as a father of three and promoted his children’s book Just Because. The actor was praised by co-host Sunny Hostin for being “so outspoken against violence, and gun violence in particular” after she veered off course.
You thought about running for Texas governor in 2021, but ultimately decided to put your family first. Do you believe holding public office will be in your future? Hostin enquired.
“Yes, if that’s where I think I can be most useful,” the Interstellar actor answered. “At this time, I want to be the most helpful father I can be.”
“Do you think you could get elected in Texas being anti-gun?” Behan asked again.
“One thing about me and politics, to give you a direct statement right there, is me playing a game I’m not interested in playing,” McConaughey said, pointing a finger at Behar.
“Okay, don’t do it,” Behar said, attempting to diffuse the situation by stating, “I did want to say that I’ve done a lot of research in terms of your advocacy, and I don’t think you’re pro-gun responsibility and legislation.”
At a White House meeting after the 2022 Robb Elementary School tragedy in Uvalde, Texas, where an 18-year-old former student killed 19 pupils and two teachers, McConaughey urged people to “renegotiate our wants from our needs.”
Background checks and responsible ownership are essential. The age requirement to purchase an AR-15 rifle needs to be raised to 21. A waiting time is required for such firearms. Red flag rules are necessary, and those who violate them should face repercussions; these are tactical, sensible, and realistic regulations, the speaker stated.
“Responsible gun owners are fed up with the Second Amendment being abused and hijacked by some deranged individuals,” the Oscar-winning actor continued.
The actor and his spouse, Camila Alves, started the Greenlights Grant Initiative in the wake of the horrific event with the intention of “ensuring the well-being of our children and creating safer school environments.”
Along with McConaughey, Alves is the parent of three children: Levi, 15, Vida, 13, and Livingston, 10.

You Won’t Believe How These Newborn Twins Refuse to Let Go!
Having a twin is amazing. It means having someone who is always by your side from the very beginning of life. This creates a bond that lasts forever.
A wonderful video shows just how strong this bond can be, even before birth. In the video, two newborn twin boys won’t stop cuddling together, just like they did when they were in the womb!
In a video that has been watched nearly 50 million times on YouTube, two babies, who are less than two months old, are getting a bath. Even while being bathed, they keep holding onto each other, wrapping their tiny arms and legs around one another.
The twins are getting a special baby bath created by Sonia Rochel, a maternity nurse and grandmother from Paris, France.
This special bath is made for babies younger than two months old because it mimics the feeling of being in the womb.
This could be why the twins are so cuddly with each other—they want to stay close, just like they were before they were born.
What an incredible video! It shows the real loving bond between two twin siblings right from birth.
