DENVER (AP) -- Some Colorado fans are upset after music superstar Madonna used guns during a performance.

Bing: Madonna's tour controversy

Madonna started her show Thursday night at the Pepsi Center in Denver with a gun scene, which she has used in previous performances.

According to KUSA-TV, the station received several calls Friday from concertgoers saying they were offended she used guns and violence as part of her show in light of recent events in the state that included a mass shooting at a theater during a Batman movie on July 20 that left 12 people dead.

In a statement before beginning the tour, Madonna said she does not condone the use of guns. She said she is using the guns as symbols of intolerance and "the pain I have felt from having my heart broken."

58 years-old and still a drama queen on-stage?

This is absolutely the correct reaction from everyone... especially since no one in Colorado can even own a gun anymore, what with all the sweeping anti-gun legislation that was enacted in the wake of that terrible tragedy. I know that artists are always allowed a little more leeway than the federal government in a democracy, and that means even though guns are totally banned now it's still kind of okay to make some references as if they weren't completely illegal, but even so, yeah, bad form, you pop singer.

I'm sorry, but I fail to see the issue here. She used firearms as part of her act, so what?

She didn't dress as Bane, did she? 😕
