A toy gun? Everyone involved knew it was a toy? Nothing to see here.
And this is in a country, no less, where a member of the royal family lost her life in a car accident that very well may have had to do with paparazzi chasing her.
If the Brits should be peed off at anyone, it should be these paparazzi types -- not the innocent people who are just trying to move from A to B without a pack of idiots chasing them.

Yet another photograph taken from the rear of Pippa Middleton is making worldwide news, but this time she isn't the centerpiece, and neither is her rear. The press is circulating a shot of the 28-year-old socialite in a car sitting next to a man who appears to be pointing a handgun at the paparazzo taking the photo. However, both Pippa and the photographer say the gun was fake.
The Sun, a London tabloid, initially reported that the photographer was "considering his options," and that even if the gun was fake, using it to threaten someone like that could land the man brandishing the pistol a two-year sentence under English law. But ABC News claims the photographer knew it was fake the whole time, and has no intention of pressing charges. After all, he probably got a pretty penny out of The Sun for it. But was the man's use of the toy gun harmless or reckless? And is it scandalous that Pippa Middleton was somehow involved?

So they do it because they are being paid to be stupid by their masters, now that is what I call Mental Minions!!!!
On the other hand the I can see the Paparazzi hasn't changed since Diana's death....Kinda reminds me of the Reich....They don't have a clue!!!......
Quick Reichties get you guns and your bibles out.....
The press may be going nuts because deep down, the gun geasture may express exactly what most people would like to see done. Just take a deep breath and imagine some irritating, rat bastard paparazzi with a neat little hole in the middle of his forehead as he topples to the ground, his camera flopped beside him. Now tell me truly ..... are you really crying?
How much is the corporation paying you to be a Troll???....I hope the Koch Bro's are paying you well.....

Which is why the right spot is the middle of those extremes which is a constitutional republic which limits government power and protects the individual's natural rigths to life, property, freedom of speech and off course the right to bear arms in order to protect themselves and more importantly being able to protect those rights. Because in the end only strenght can preserve liberty against those that would readily take it from you.
At least that's how it's supposed to work because we know that thanks to statists both Liberals and Neocons this is far from the case.
News flash, everyone!
It's a toy!
It also speaks to his lack of good judgement. If you're doing a gag photoshoot (if it was indeed a joke), using weapons or weapon-like toys, you make damn sure it's not anywhere in the public view.
On the other hand, what little of his face is showing bears a striking resemblance to Russel Crowe. Maybe that explains it.
