interesting, I have never had anyone that felt that they had too many guns on their side of a firefight
I didn’t realize you were living in Afghanistan. How many firearms does the average Special Ops soldier/Marine need? If you think you need more firearms than that, you might consider moving to a nice gated community in the Green Zone.

There is no point to this thread, at best it is a weak attempt to condemn gun ownership.
I have explicitly stated that I support the Second Amendment. I simply question the reasoning and logic of a grand display of one’s firearms as …. Perhaps an indicator of some emotional insecurity.

Come on man, it was obviously a political statement intended to indicate his endorsement of the 2nd

Actually can also comes across as supporting giving guns as presents to your kids at Christmas like they are a toy. Just days after the shooting by a teenager with a gun given as a present by his parents.

In world class bad taste after the murders of school children. A better way would have been to dress in hunting gear and act like an actual sportsman instead of an insecure man-child.

I respect actual sportsmen who care about the rule of law and wildlife and respect gun safety.

An arsenal is not needed for the security of one’s person and home. This is not Afghanistan.

Yeah, I have a hard time believing an M60 is needed to protect your home.

interesting, I have never had anyone that felt that they had too many guns on their side of a firefight

You think a firefight is a realistic possibility in America? Again, this isn't Afghanistan.

U.S. congressman posts family Christmas picture with guns, days after school shooting
View attachment 309129


A U.S. congressman on Saturday posted a Christmas picture of himself and what appeared to be his family, smiling and posing with an assortment of guns, just days after four teenagers were killed in a shooting at a Michigan high school.

"Merry Christmas! ps. Santa, please bring ammo," U.S. Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky wrote on Twitter.

Perhaps if one lived in a rat hole meth infested trailer park in Alabama….

You know, almost every Christmas song mentions things like peace and good will to others.

But it doesn't matter. Heck! Nothing really matters.. certainly not a Republican politician attempts to intimidate or brag; just another day.

There are plenty of places in america where firefights are a realistic possibility, especially if you are in a gang and fighting others.

Overblown. Those places are few and small.

As for individual gun violence, theres a lot of that - but its almost never what we'd call a "firefight".

Well then, knuckle down and create some proper violence so those people can use the ammo supplied by santa productively.

No. It's pointing out how weirdly obsessed that a lot of Americans are about guns, to the point that a Congressman would have a family Christmas photo with everyone in the family showing them off.

That's just weird. Forget the timing of the release of the photo with the recent shooting. Even without that it's still weird.

At Christmas?

What the heck kinda time is Christmas to do that? 364 days a year is not quite enough?

How one dimensional do you want to be?

Rat-hole trailer parks in the rural south for example.
