It’s rare to hear someone in the Hollywood scene speak the truth about guns, but that’s exactly what Madonna did in a recent interview with ABC News’ Elizabeth Vargas.
When asked about the choice of choreography in her current tour, which drew criticism because of the first act’s heavy use of guns, the pop icon said she would have never left that part out.
"That would be like asking people to not have guns in action movies," she said. "I mean the thing is, guns don't kill people, people kill people. That whole first section of the show is like an action movie, and I was playing a super vixen who wanted revenge."
Madonna even gave a statement that she does not condone violence, and that her work is art and nothing more.
"But I know there was several movies that delayed release because of the shootings, for example, at Sandy Hook Elementary school," Vargas said.
"Well that's not going to change the situation," Madonna replied. "This all comes from fear and ignorance, and people not really raising their children, or not paying attention to what's going on."
Celebrity "support" can be So detrimental for a societal or political issue!
Here, the aging "Like A Virgin" Celebrity hitches her star to the "Second Amendment" cause, about which she obviously has no affinity. If she really cared about that issue, she would have spoken out sooner, and not in support of her own lame and dying career.
It's not even Christmas, but if I had one wish it would be that Celerity Activism would NOT muddy the waters on an issue which I consider important.
I feel embarrassed to even acknowledge her publicity release, except that it provided the opportunity to excoriate her ignorant self-seeking public contribution.

Madge was right about one thing. She is a super vixen.
