Guns 'n' church for Britney Spears

What do you do if you are against a free citizen's right to keep and bear arms, have a lot of money, and are worried about your personal safety? Why hire an armed body guard of course.

From The Post Chronicle:

Britney Spears Prays While Security Guard Pulls Gun On Photog

Britney Spears has found religion. Well, sorta. Britney Spears' weekend trip to church sparked controversy yesterday when a security guard pulled a gun on a photographer.

The singer spent her first Sunday morning after her recent rehab stint at the Bel Air Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles--a regular haunt of top religious celebrities.

But the Sunday service was anything but peaceful after a security guard threatened to shoot a photographer who was attempting to get pictures of Spears at prayer.

The paparazzo was detained and later released.

This short story says much more than it intends about the "Way Things Are" in the People's Republic of Kalifornia.

There are different laws for different classes of people in California. A rich celebrity (who is an anti-gun hypocrite) can hire armed bodyguards to keep the common folks away. Other than the hypocrisy, there is nothing wrong with hiring armed guards to protect yourself. The illustration of how celebrities are treated different than normal folks does not occur until after the bodyguard pulls a firearm on a photographer. If you or I were to pull a firearm on someone for taking our picture, we would be in jail post haste. Not this bodyguard though, he is protecting a celebrity so gets a free pass. Not only was the bodyguard not arrested, but the photographer was "detained".
