Just incredibly wrong to post that photo. Hope even the gun folks here see his post as utterly tasteless.

He wants the response. Ignore it and go on.

Several nice firearms in that picture, though. I'd enjoy spending range time with a few of them.

I have no problem with the photo but the caption was a bit political tone-deaf considering recent events.

I don't have a problem with the photo or the caption. Would I have done that? No. However, they have a right to do and say whatever they want on their Christmas card. All shootings are a tragedy. The fact that the liberal left politicizes certain shootings (while conveniently ignoring the huge number of everyday shootings in cities like Chicago) doesn't alter people's rights.

That little girl on the couch has her (unloaded) gun pointed at mom.

Just a dumb photo, should have added matching pajamas.

Trying to tie these together is what is wrong. They are completely unrelated but gun fear and outrage get clicks

Religiously, it's disrespectful to the holiday. Let's celebrate the birth of Christ by brandishing firearms!

It's absolutely their right to do so.

I agree with your statement. Most of what occurs on Christmas is disrespectful to the celebration of the birth of Christ.

Massie is just a political troll, everything he does is to cause a reaction

Guess they need to stop showing car commercials for awhile too.

False equivalence.

A car is made primarily for transportation. Guns have a single purpose.

I do agree that any outage on the subject at have is overboard, though.

Santas not making down the fireplace with all that fire power around. What's up with the m60 the father is holding? Is that a practical weapon to own?

Guns do not have a single purpose. That’s a fairly ignorant statement.

That’s the gun owner’s decision.

Other than kill, seriously injure, or deter, I have trouble thinking of anything. And this is coming from someone who likes them.

How so? Is what they doing a sin? If it is inappropriate now, then it would be inappropriate at any time.

Fighting on Black Friday is for a color TV is disrespectful.

Props for Christmas card photos.

You are blaming the object and not the person. When Judgement Day comes, it will be the individual standing up there, not a damn car, gun or vaccine needle for that matter.

Just curious, but with all of the killing going on outside of just high profile school shootings, when would have been a more appropriate time to take this photo?

People get killed every day in this Babylon country of ours.

I blame the people who make it so easy for the object to be misused.

Guns are used for sport and recreation. Hell shooting is in the Olympics. Far more paper, steel, and clay take bullets than anything living. Some people just like to collect guns as a hobby.
