‘[bleeping] Idiot and Hypocrite’: Kim Kardashian Under Fire for Posting Pic of…Glitzy Handgun

Reality television star Kim Kardashian is drawing heavy fire for posting a photo of a jewel-encrusted handgun on Instagram just weeks after signing a pledge to reduce gun violence in honor of the Sandy Hook massacre.

“Today, people in Newtown are making the #sandyhookpromise to reduce gun violence. Sign the pledge with me at http://www.sandyhookpromise.org,” she wrote at the time.

But some are now conflating guns, with gun violence.

Hollywood gossip aficionado Perez Hilton wrote:

Now, Kim has been enjoying the shooting range for years now, and we’re sure she enjoys feeling like she can protect herself. But this was a clear example of a celebrity forgetting the height of their platform, and the social-impacting consequences that can come with it.

Kardashian has since removed the photo, but this isn’t the first time the reality star has posted a gun-related image.

A month before the Sandy Hook shootings, Kardashian apparently shared this picture of herself at a gun range on Twitter:

Kardashian, who is expecting her first child with boyfriend Kanye West this summer, has not yet issued a public response to the controversy. But she’s no stranger to political controversy.

After tweeting that she was “praying for everyone in Israel” during conflict in the region in November, she was called a “disgrace” to her people and told that she is the reason at least one Twitter user wants “to die.”

Some, though, are standing up for Kardashian.

“Kim Kardashian posted a pic of a gun on Instagram & now everyone is all pissed off,” one person tweeted, according to ABC. “I forgot the 2nd amendment didn’t count for celebs.”

Khloe and that worthless Lamar Odom ruined the Mavs franchise.

“Reality television star” enough said.

Reality Star = Someone who's famous...........for being famous.

I have one of their basic models. My son-in-law carries his for deep concealment. No accidental discharges. It is single action and requires some effort to pull the hammer back. Nothing huge, but enough to keep it from firing on its own...

for posting a photo of a jewel-encrusted handgun on Instagram just weeks after signing a pledge to reduce gun violence

sigh...so posting a picture of a gun somehow mitigates her pledge to reduce gun violence? So the insinuation is that posting a pic of a gun (or probably owning one) makes a person part of the problem instead of the solution?

People in this country are such hyper-sensitive pansy-asses I can barely take it.

She’s famous for a sex tape. And her Dad who defended OJ.

Did you see the South Park episode on the economy where Kyle saves the day? When the TV news did the story, Kyle assumed he would be honored but out-of-nowehere Obama was shown and the cheerleader-reporter in so many words said "We have one person to thank. Barack Obama."

....and several hundreds of millions of dollars.......

I don’t think the child was conceived in the biblical sense.

[al baby]

maybe that was Humpries problem

Aw, Kimmie's just like other white chicks who like chase black men, and she was just trying to build up some "ghetto cred" by showing off her pimp gun.

Yup, you cut to the heart of the idiocracy. You can’t own a gun and be against gun violence...uh what? I abhor gun violence and yet I know that my best defense against it is not waving a law in front of someone’s face, but rather a shotgun or handgun and the will to use it.

I’m no Kardashian fan, but she has ever right to own a gun and defend herself, just like every other American.

[Gay State Conservative]

If she’s here legally,hasn’t been convicted of a serious crime and isn’t mentally incompetent I have no problem with her owning a firearm.But it would appear as if *she* has a problem with *me* owning one.

I thought the Kardashians had more advanced weaponry.

Yep, the absolute proof. This is who that idiot Zero went to for shooting lessons. Look at the evidence: empty vacant stare, point of the gun stock wedged firmly into the shoulder, complete surreal stupidity of the situation.....an exact match. The only difference I see - one HAS a bigger ass, one IS a bigger ass.

Kim seems to be a straight shooter by Hollywood standards.

I guess she can waste her money any way she likes. I would think the jewel’s would chafe a bit if she concealed her weapon commando style. At least she doesn’t have to worry about pinching her skin creating a blood blister when the slide slams shut.

Many mysterious bits in this posting.

For instance: What the hell is a "kardashian", and why would I care?

Another: Anything that contains a reference to the racist Kanye West is automatic grounds for rejection by my brain.

And is Perez Hilton a cousin of that other Hilton...the blond, stupid one, not the hotel...you know, the one that does home sex movies in the back seats of limousines?

And last...citing support for Israel as a redeeming quality of some broad with a big ass, who is supposedly famous just for being famous...does not compute.

A pox on the sick society of celebrity crap.

[Fresh Wind]

Now THAT is a scary gun!

[NRA1995]

A high-priced whore like Kim is still nothing but a whore when all is said and done.

Well, he does like fish sticks in his mouth...
