In the video below, scripted members of the Kardashian clan discuss guns and gun control. It starts out with Khloe giving Kendall Jenner solid advice about firearms selection . . .
She tells her half-sister to go to the gun range and try out a few guns before choosing one, looking for a pistol with the proper fit.
Note: if these young ladies weren’t multi-millionaire “it girls,” the chances of them getting a carry permit in LA County (where most of the filming is done) would be somewhere between slim and none. And slim’s left town. But they are, so…roll tape!
Just not on LA’s 16-hour “safety course.” I don’t think a single member of the clan could sit still for half that time (even without chemical assistance). Anyway, Kim Kardashian (yes, there are a lot of them) is anti-gun. In fact, she’s a spokesmodel for Everytown for Gun Safety. So when KK “happens” in on the girls talking about guns — surprise! — she intervenes.
Khloe justifies Kendall’s desire for a gun by pointing out that her model sister “literally has a different stalker outside her house every few days.” (Nice of them to rotate.) And “she’s a single girl who lives alone.” (I bet Kendall isn’t even alone in the bathroom.)
“That’s what you have security for,” Kim counters.
Despite the fact her sisters and the camera crew don’t burst laughing — or if they did it was deftly edited out — this has to be the funniest thing ever said on the series.
On October 13, 2016, a trio of firearms-wielding criminals waltzed into Kim’s hotel room and held the whatever-she-is at gunpoint while they ransacked her apartment. In France. (Another European “gun control” paradise.) Ms. Kardashian’s bodyguard was elsewhere at the time.
Khloe asks Kim if she’d have known what to do if she’d been armed during that robbery. “I would not have known what to do, ” Kim says. “It was three against one. Six. Or seven. I’m not Laura Croft.” Although there is a certain physical resemblance . . .
Then, and not for the first time, we get the scripted Everytown for Gun Safety talking points, in a studio setup, with brooding music composed for the occasion.
“I personally am not a fan of owning guns and having guns in the home,” Kim declares, “especially with everything we’ve learned.” (What do you mean we, fabulously wealthy celebrity woman?)
Keeping Up With The Kardashians slips immediately into full anti-gun agitprop mode, complete with black-and-white testimony from survivors of “gun violence.”
Kim closes this excerpt by arguing that she doesn’t have guns in the house . . . for the children!
Except of course, she does have guns in the house. They’re just wielded by armed security. And plenty of ’em. But I bet that thought already occurred to you. I just hope that it occurs to millions of their adoring fans.
I bet it does.
KUWTK reminds of nothing so much as Dallas: a fabulously rich family that [supposedly] has the same problems as the show’s middle-class viewers. Only viewers know that the Ewings/Kardashians are not like them. Their problems are not the audience’s problems.
The Kardashian’s ballistic soul searching has no impact on TV viewers’ instinct to protect their families from criminal predation — for millions, by force of arms. It’s entertaining — perhaps — but irrelevant. True?
How can she go “That’s what you have security for” but not recognize that the vast majority of women can’t afford security? or does she think that only celebrities have stalkers?
Colion Noir said it best “when you call a police officer, you’re calling a gun.” In Kim’s case it just happens to be that she takes the private plan instead of the government subsidized one.
Sadly, I cannot train like I fight. Its very hard to find people willing to have their organs cut out while watching me stomp them into a muddy mess. I don’t screw around.
The whole Kardashian family is my idea of nothing.
Agreed. +10
LAME DELETED I’ve even wondered if the klueless Kardashian staged her “robbery”…
Wouldn’t be surprised if she did, or it was an inside job by her body guard or something
“The Kardashians Talk Gun Control. Again.”
Who…???
The Ewing family actually ran an oil company, didn’t they? The Kardashians run Kardashian, Inc.
The original, often imitated but seldom duplicated , famous for being famous celebrity family.
Pardon my French but, who the fuck cares what the FLAME DELETED say?
I don’t see Conyers’ district electing anybody but another anti-gun Dem.
But he’d be an anti-gun Dem with a lot less power and seniority than Conyers has.
That’s right! Hopefully! Conyers can slip it back in, and zip up his pants. Then another Dem can zip open their pants, and get right into Conyers position, inside the state of Michigan.
LMAO.
Looks like RF got to use his fire extinguisher training.
Lotta flames doused in these comments…lol
I had one in the late 50’s up to the early 70’s. I had a hand made custom stuck and scope put on it. It was a great weapon, but even then the ammo was hard to come by. If I had have had reloading equipment, that would have been a plus. Paying someone to resize the brass was very costly, even then.
I went to the range to train like this – it took forever for the background music to start. Kind of threw me off my dramatic slow motion action moves…
maybe next time
Tough crowd today, Mr. Taylor.
Looks like a nice rest for lever guns — no lifting the rifle to chamber the next round.
“Departure of Michigan’s John Conyers Would Be a Mixed Blessing for Gun Rights”
Don’t forget about franken, he’s about to get kicked to the curb too…
There are many possible explanations. The most obvious one is that California is a mess because the residents like it that way. Another is that Zarate was overcharged. That is, he was charged with an intentional murder, which the state couldn’t prove, instead of negligence which would have been an easy conviction. Why he was overcharged is another question. Did the prosecution even try hard for a conviction? Was the jury biased in favor of the defendant?
Slow may be smooth, but it aint never fast. I wish we could bury that stupid trope. Slow is just frickin slow. You wanna shoot fast and accurate, then practice and train shooting fast. If you are getting all A’s in practice, then you are training too damn slow. Only fast is fast.
It is now almost 2018, and as I go through the remarks in this so-called review, I find little value with the negative remarks. Sounds like a bunch of kids saying that one has a good BB gun and another has one that’s better. I say this from 55 years of duty carry and hobby hand gunning that include many, many different weapon systems. I’m not an expert but you can’t put that much time into weapons without learning some things about them.
Currently I own Sig, Colt, CZ, Browning, S&W, Walther, and HK handguns. Even a few revolvers as well. Not just one each but multiple models in each brand. The VP9SK is among them. It carries very well, is very accurate in combat distances, reliable no matter what I feed it, and if you are such a “princess and the pea” type that you can’t appreciate and use the trigger in the VP9, then maybe you need to go change your underoos and have a lollipop. And be careful about the sharp edges. We’re all out of the Spiderman bandaids. By the way, I turned 75 yesterday and two weeks ago I qualified for my 218 card, scoring 94.6 out of 100 with a Glock, and 96.7 with a 1911. Factory +P loads in both. I’ve seen the Elephant more than once in my lifetime. I won’t be in here again, because there is nothing objective or professional about the reviews of the VP9, so I wouldn’t expect any better about any other weapons.
Okay, so a 5 times deported undocumented immigrant did something idiotic and killed somebody. However, the Vegas, Sacramento and Texas church shooters are completely unrelated issues right? Those guys had all their paperwork in order so it’s different, they were just crazy lone wolves who do not represent their demographic.
Those white guys aren’t like you at all, that’s an unfair comparison. This immigrant however is just like all those other immigrants.
“FN Announces Two New Maryland-Compliant Rifles”
By making the “adjustments”, FN is just enable states like MD and NY to do as the please, my suggestion, just stop doing business in those states, ANY business, no LE business, etc…
