Officials on both sides of the aisle, Michigan residents and parents of gun violence victims condemned the image from Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky.
by Rep. Thomas Massie on Saturday, along with the caption: “Merry Christmas! ps. Santa, please bring ammo.”Both Democratic and Republican elected officials, Michigan residents still reeling from the school shooting last week that left four dead, and parents of gun violence victims all took to Twitter to criticize Massie’s Christmas photo. Meanwhile, some conservative politicians, pundits and media personalities jumped to his defense.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and others gathered at a Dec. 3 vigil in Oxford, Mich. held for those killed in injured in a Nov. 30 shooting. such an “irresponsible” public display of gun ownership “incites and inspires” other people to do “evil, terrible things.” Guttenberg considers the photo of Massie’s gun-toting family particularly egregious as the nation debates the role of parents in preventing gun violence. Days before the shooting, Crumbley’s mother boasted on social media about going with her son to a gun range to test out “his new Xmas present,” authorities said.
Some of those who came to Massie’s defense claimed the photo bore no relevance to the Michigan shooting.
