Ryan Bort - Yesterday 8:58 AM
It’s been just over a week since four students were killed and seven people were injured after 15-year-old Ethan Crumbley allegedly opened fire at Oxford High School in Michigan. Sandy Hook quashed the idea that any particular school shooting has the power to inspire Congress to enact common-sense gun reform, but one would think Republicans could at least refrain from going out of their way to glorify guns in the immediate aftermath of these tragedies.
They’d be wrong.
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) on Tuesday night posted a photo of her four young children posing in front of a Christmas tree with military-style rifles. “The Boeberts have your six, @RepThomasMassie!” she wrote.

The Boeberts have your six, @RepThomasMassie!
(No spare ammo for you, though)
The nod to Massie comes after the Kentucky Republican posted a photo of his family wielding military-style weapons. “Santa, please bring ammo,” he wrote. Massie was criticized sharply for the photo, which he posted just four days after the shooting in Michigan. He refused to apologize. “I’m going to double down,” he told conservative radio host Todd Starnes. “I’m never going to delete that picture.”
Boebert, and her children, have his back. The weapons both families are holding in the photos are not hunting rifles. They are military-style long guns designed to kill people.

Hoplophobia is a mental disorder, toid, getting over it is a tough nut to crack, requires extensive psychotherapy and an education on guns - experience being the best teacher.
The Christmas photo of the Massie family is revealing if you know what to look for.
Thomas Massie seated at left is holding a Vietnam era M60 machinegun.
Rhonda Massie seated at right is holding a Thompson submachinegun - the old Chicago Typewriter.
The young girl seated at center is holding what appears to be either an MP5 or Uzi submachinegun.
Those standing are holding your basic AR15s and a couple of other "military style" rifles.
What in Sam Hill, you may ask, are these people doing with such weapons?
The answer is simple.
Like millions of American gun owners, the Massies may be collectors.
If Thomas or Rhonda hold a valid and current Class 3 FFL, owning a fully functional machinegun is legal.
If not, then the machineguns are either "demilitarized" or deactivated and cannot fire.
Or, they are semi-auto replicas that can fire and are perfectly legal to own.
And these can be used for hunting.
Leave it to the progressive propaganda machine - euphemistically referred to as "the Mainstream Media" - to attempt to connect dots that do not exist. I do not believe the Massies - or the Beoberts - are thumbing their noses or otherwise dancing on the graves of murdered children. That notion is patently absurd.
The Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot in West Point, Kentucky is the biggest event of its kind in the world. It takes place every April and October and attracts upwards of 20,000 Second Amendment supporters. The night shoot is second to none.Knob Creek Machine Gun ShootBTW: Knob Creek, Kentucky was Abraham Lincoln's boyhood home.
