Britney's Got a Gun?

The News of the World can reveal that K-Fed, 29, panicked on Thursday night after realising the fallen pop princess kept the handgun—a Beretta 92FS—in the master bedroom where she was holding the kids, Jayden James, one, and Sean Preston, two.
But wait a minute: didn't Britney sign HCI's "Open Letter to the NRA"? Isn't she "on the list"?

Perhaps it's just you and me who aren't emotionally stable enough to be trusted with a gun?

A hypocritical anti-gunner? Say it isn't so!

My theory is that creativity in the human mind is essentially an unstable condition, which may be a clue to why we seem to be genetically programmed to find it so fascinating.

On the continuum of human behavior, those at the far end of the non-creative end of the scale are called unimaginative, stodgy, dull, boring, and pedantic. Bankers and accountants, for example. Those on the other end are wild, crazy, brilliant, gonzo, and insane, and when they aren't involved in self-destructive tragedy, give color and insight to the lives of the rest of us.

If you put humans on a "creativity graph," it would probably look like a bell curve, with the majority of people pretty well balanced between creative instability and non-creative dependability.

Then there's the marginally creative like our girl here, who are unstable, destructive, dangerous, totally egocentric, but firmly believe that they are the most important people in the world. How desperately sad.

LAPD are saying it's not so. But if she did have a gun, she better not after being released, because under California law, she can't possess a firearm for five years after her commitment. 5150 commitments aren't sufficient for federal purposes, but they get your guns taken away by the State of California.

Gaviota, she's never shown much creativity.

And the unfortunate thing is that she's not allowed to shoot back at the people who are out to kill her (I speak, of course, of the various paparazzi, talent agents, and entourage-leeches.)

Seems to me that the last time I filled out the Federal Background check form it asked if I was addicted to drugs. If *cough, cough* she's an addict then she's not supposed to posses a gun anyway. At the very least I know Kalifornia has that law on the books.

Of course, if that law was strictly enforced the rap industry would probably collapse overnight...

Actually, Sebastian, if you'll look at the wording there, they conveniently never actually deny that a gun was there, they just say that no gun was involved.

About the entire drug thing ...

100 oxy's isn't a habit or addiction, it's a suicide attempt.
But I recon she didin't figure out how to beat the anti-abuse mechansms, so she's still breathing.
