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.

Put Your Observation Skills to the Test!
Welcome, fellow observer! Today, we have a special challenge lined up just for you. Prepare to put your keen eye to the test and see just how observant you truly are.
A Tranquil Beach Scene
In this seemingly tranquil beach scene, a couple is enjoying a romantic date. They are holding hands while taking in the breathtaking view of the ocean. Everything appears perfect, but don’t be fooled – there are not one, but TWO major errors hiding in plain sight.
Time to Unveil the Mistakes
Let’s take a closer look at this picture-perfect scene. The first error becomes apparent when you notice the presence of not one, but TWO moons in the sky. That’s right, a full moon and a crescent moon – an absolute impossibility! It seems like nature has played a little trick on us.
But that’s not all. The second mistake is a bit more subtle, yet equally noticeable once you spot it. Take a closer look at the couple’s hands – you’ll see an extra hand holding a phone. That’s quite a glaring mistake, isn’t it? It seems even the most idyllic images can have their fair share of discrepancies.
How Did You Fare?
So, how did you do in uncovering these tricky errors? Did you spot both the multiple moons and the extra hand? If so, congratulations on your observation skills! It’s not easy to catch these illusions.
If not, don’t worry – these illusions can be quite deceiving. Keep honing your observation skills and you’ll spot even the trickiest of errors in no time.
