"Santa, please bring ammo": Kentucky congressman tweets Christmas photo with family brandishing guns
CBSN
A U.S. congressman posted his family's Christmas photo – showing himself, his wife and his kids brandishing guns. On Twitter, Representative Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, captioned the photo "Merry Christmas! ps. Santa, please bring ammo." He is now facing criticism for sharing the post in the wake of a school shooting in Michigan.
Gun control activists condemned Massie's photo, including Fred Guttenberg, whose daughter Jamie was killed in the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. "Since we are sharing family photos, here are mine," Futtenberg tweeted, sharing one photo of Jamie before she died, and one of her gravestone.
"One is the last photo that I ever took of Jaime, the other is where she is buried because of the Parkland school shooting," Guttenberg wrote. "The Michigan school shooter and his family used to take photos like yours as well."
