Madonna Gun Shoes Pictures (”Filth And Wisdom” Premiere)

Madonna has come under fire from a victims’ rights group after the Material Girl was photograhed strutting down the red carpet in a pair of handgun high-heels during Monday night’s New York City premiere of her new movie, Filth and Wisdom.

“I am horrified that Madonna can see these shoes as fashion,” activist Lynn Costello, of Mothers Against Murder And Aggression (MAMAA), said in statement on Tuesday.

“As a mother herself I would have thought that she would have paused for a second and thought about all the young people here and in her own country that have died because of gun crime,” Costello said, adding, “She should have thought about all the young people that have died because of gun crime.”

“We need the whole of society to take responsibility and action in stopping the glamourization of weapons. Celebrities have a massive part to play and an icon like Madonna should have more sense.”

It would be a much safer place if everyone put their guns on their shoes instead of in their pockets and trousers…..these activists always try to grab the headlines and, in my humble opinion, could do with madonnas shoe in their mouth.

Huhh? It’s a pair of shoes! Is there a fuss to be had? Homer Simpson’s two-can beer hat, therefore, is glamourising drinking, I guess?

Why should celebrities have any part to play at all? who gives a flying f%^k at a rolling rats butt what she thinks or what she does? WE make celebrities, and WE can ignore them just as easily. WHY AREN’T WE? I don’t look to celebs for anything but entertainment. i don’t look to them for advice on how to live my life, i don’t look to them for an example of how to be a good person. i look to them to act or sing, then STFU.

Apart from the fact that the shoes are hideous, I take more offence over a woman her age wearing that much harsh black eyliner and having that rediculous bleached mop with her brown roots showing.

serously, at her age, you’d think she knew better.

I think her shoes are cool, like everything else she wears! At 50 she’s still proving everybody she’s a trend-setter and always will be! I bet a lot of 30-year-old women would LOVE to look like her!!!! She’s HOT!!!!!

I’m pretty sure she didn’t want to offend any gun crime victims. It’s just fashion. You need to calm down and look somewhere else. You’re just looking for a lame excuse to say something about something. Move on.

Why don’t we just ban all toy guns from toy stores? We should start there. Water guns too. How ’bout we ban the guns your husbands use to kill animals? How ’bout we ban officers from using guns? How ’bout we ban all the guns in the world. Let’s destroy all guns. You think we’ll be closer to reaching world peace? Perhaps. It takes a small action to make a big difference. Focus your power there MAMAA.

The activist has it wrong. Criminals use guns for murder by the thousands, but in America guns used by the law abiding protecting against the criminals has saved millions of innocents from harm and murder.
The gun does not murder, it is just a tool and it is used for good too.

If wearing an item used as a weapon and was used by people to kill many over the ages is wrong, then she should tell England to change its Great Seal. It has a man wearing a sword and the sword has been used to take millions of lives.

WOW
Um, CHANEL made the shoes.
MADONNA steps out in them, and, what?! LET’S LOOK BACK AT HER YEARS OF FASHION, and THIS tops them all???!!!
Get a life, people. Guns don’t run around creating hysteria, guns don’t self-fire, guns are only glamourous in the hands of celebrities on-screen massacring people glamourously.
Let’s make a list: pardon the death-row murderers/rapists because ‘they didn’t mean to’; help PETA make the world a little more vegetarian while funding more abortion clinics; and bash any icon/clothes item that includes a picture of a peice of metal forged into a gun…AMAZING. Let’s just rewrite the Constitution as free speech, and the right to own and carry firearms is COMPLETELY outdated as speaking our mind will be stripped once again by the renewal of the Fairness Doctrine, and we will NEVER be attacked by a foreign nation and NEVER need to protect ourselves within our homes…
LOL; thanks for the laugh!!!
