Did she finally go too far? Lady Gaga is catching heat for wearing a gun bra, adorned with fake assault rifles, in her first concert since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.
On Friday, Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Ball tour stopped in Vancouver, where she donned the controversial gun bra which featured two (fake) assault rifles attached to it,
Gaga did wear a similar outfit for her “Alejandro” video, but the appearance of the gun bra so soon after the Sandy Hook shooting has led many to criticize the controversial singer for her wardrobe choice.
Tom McKay of PolicyMic criticized Lady Gaga’s gun bra, arguing that it is offensive to both sides of the hotly contested issue of gun control in the US.
“In light of all this, Gaga’s decision to don a gun-toting brassiere – undoubtedly with full awareness of its disturbing implications – is tasteless and inappropriate. It rubs salt in the wounds of pro- and anti-gun advocates, and much trashier, the wounds of a despondent and horrified community that just lost 20 of its children.
“Generating controversy from a dress made of steaks is one thing. Generating controversy from the wholesale slaughter of children and teachers is quite another.”
Lady Gaga hasn’t responded to the criticism over her gun bra, and we honestly don’t expect her to. She’s a self-avowed activist for adolescents, so it’s hard to read the gun bra as intention.

After the spat with Sharon and Kelly Osbourne, Lady Gaga is making headlines again: this time for wearing a prop she’s used before.
In her first concert in a few months, Gaga donned a gun bra, as the video above will confirm.
*Please note that some discretion is recommended when viewing it because it contains images and two instances of language that might offend.
Wearing a gun bra wouldn’t be such a big thing (for Gaga) if it weren’t for the recent tragedy at the Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, which cost the lives of 27 people, including the shooter.
Gaga, just like Madonna before her, might not realize this but their use of such props could translate into a glorification of gun violence, angry voices online are saying.
Then, there’s also the timing: Gaga has a right to express herself as she sees it fit, but she should show more consideration towards the victims’ families, the same voices add.
Check out the video and let me know in the comments section below what you make of it: should Gaga ditch the gun bra for a while, or is this just another tempest in a teacup?

Never one to shy away from controversy or weird and uncomfortable-looking clothing, Lady Gaga has struck again. The singer, know for such fashion statements as a dress made of raw meat and being completely covered in stuffed Kermit The Frog toys, put a decidedly more political twist on her costume this time.
In her first concert since the Sandy Hook massacre, the New York Post reports that Gaga took the stage Friday wearing a bra with fake assault rifles attached to it. This comes one day after Vice President Joe Biden met with Congress and the NRA to discuss gun control and violence.
This actually isn't Gaga's first use of a gun bra. The 'Born This Way' singer wore a similar, though far more realistic, bra on the cover of a 2010 issue of Rolling Stone.

Lady Gaga, known for pushing the sartorial boundaries, is being criticized for wearing a bra with guns on it during the Vancouver stop of her North American tour.
On Friday, the pop star (whose real name is Stefani Germanotta) walked onstage wearing a black bra with plastic assault rifles sticking out of each cup. She paired the top with green military-style pants and high-heeled ankle boots.
Gaga has been known to ruffle feathers with her wardrobe choices in the past, but critics suggest that this costume was particularly insensitive given that less than one month ago, 26 people were shot to death in a tragic elementary massacre in Newton, Connecticut.
