So, in a continuing 'study' on how firearms are used by pop culture ' (I have a post on Ashton Kucher and Demi Moore shooting, and recently about fashion couture finding out about CCW clothes) I found this article: "Selena Gomez and LeAnn Rimes Grab Guns -- Plus Did Justin Bieber Break Up with Selena?"
In the article I was pleasantly surprised that LAnne Rimes and Selena Gomez are actually shooters and not afraid to let it be known:
And although Rimes knows her way around an M4, she's a big proponent of keeping the peace.
I was also pleased that the article wasn't written in a completely anti-gun slant. However, either the author was trying to drum up drama (well, look up the source) or shooting for recreation (other than "blowing off steam") seemed a foreign concept.
Check out these quotes:
The gals might have grabbed guns because of some recent tabloid stories and rumors, using them as a way to show certain people that you don't mess with Texas girls.
What?
Selena Gomez: "Released some stress today." So was the stress simply from work and being in a foreign country far away from her friends and family, or is something else bothering Selena?
What?
Anyway, the source is "OMG Yahoo!" so I am surprised that the Kardashians weren't somehow tied into it.
A small win, however, is that firearms are mentioned as being used by pop culture icons.
