“Merry Christmas! PS. Santa Claus, please bring ammunition “, writes Thomas Massie on Twitter, and shares the picture that now makes more Americans look red.
The Republican, who represents Kentucky in the US Congress, is sitting at the bottom left of the family photo. The family photo that in many ways looks like a normal Christmas card.
What is striking is that, smiling in front of the Christmas tree, one holds all the family reports, each with its own firearm, including automatic weapons.
The case has been covered in several media, including Sky News.
Four killed in school shooting
The Christmas greeting was published on Twitter on Saturday, just days after the arms debate flared up again in the United States.
On Tuesday, four teenagers were shot and killed at Oxford High School in Michigan. A 15-year-old boy is charged after the shooting episode. His parents are charged with negligent homicide, as they were the ones who bought the semi-automatic weapon his son allegedly used.
Parents denies criminal guilt.
The Michigan shooting, which is the deadliest school shooting in the United States since 2018, joins the ranks of deadly shootings in the United States.

Among those reacting to the Republican’s Christmas image is Democratic Congressman John Yarmuth. He also represents the state of Kentucky.
Yarmuth accuses his colleague of openly celebrating child murder as if it were a touchdown in American football.
– Shameful, he writes Twitter, and add:
– I promise not everyone in Kentucky is an insensitive asshole.

In 2018, 17 people were killed and 17 injured during a school shooting in Parkland, Florida.
19-year-old Nikolas Cruz, a former student at the school, entered the school Marjory Douglas Stoneman with a legally purchased automatic weapon of the type AR-15, and opened fire.
Among those killed was 14-year-old Jamie.
Jamie’s father, Fred Guttenberg, is now an active weapons activist, working to prevent gun violence.
Guttenberg is one of those who has responded to the representative’s Christmas greeting.
