[Canary42]

Totally tasteless, immensely inappropriate, IMHO.

I hope their Christmas goes with a bang.

they should be taken out and - shot.

Not a brain cell between them .

Stomach turning, Canary.

[DTCwordfan]

Agree on that one, anne....it's a disgrace and not exactly in the spirit of the festive season whatever religion one is or isn't.

It's Kentucky.

If this was in the UK or in some US city I might agree but for many Americans, especially in the South, this will appeal. Life is quite different there to here.

A Republican congressman has been criticised for posting a picture of himself and his family posing with guns, just days after four teenagers were killed in a high school shooting in Michigan.

The window for posting a photo such as this is very, very small in the good old US of A.

[youngmafbog]

Yes, trying to link it to the school shooting is also a bit desperate.

I`ve just come back from a Republican state. I saw a teenager with his Dad at security in the airport. He was wearing a jacket that said "We pet 'em, then we shoot 'em. Gun ownership is endemic there.

It's missing something...........maybe a dead elk/moose/grizzly in the front.......then it'll be a great republican gun-toting family photo.

a dead Democrat, maybe?

[Atheist]

Well, Republican senators have called for the execution of Democrats!

"Yes, trying to link it to the school shooting is also a bit desperate."
The photo does seem to show that guns are so accepted over there that such a photo doesn't seem to be tasteless. Is that family so thick or insensitive that they don't see that treating weapons as amusing props is not a decent thing to do? I guess that that is everyday life in the good ol' US of A!
There was a time when the goodies were over here in the west and the baddies were over there in chinaland or bongobongo land. Tragically, our so-called allies have been corrupted by the Trump rot. And now we have our own mini-Trump (Johnson).

Another "words fail me" moment. But sadly disgustingly unsurprising.

[Gromit]

What a bizarre photo to send to your electors.
The USA is a really odd country sometimes.
