Assault rifles are not toys. Will Boebert cry as she looking down on one of her sons who is dead
and ripped to shreds by bullets?

Violence signaling from Rethugs and constant defeat signaling from the MSM (Dems are expected to lose the House) is a very dangerous mix.

but I’m gonna type this up anyway.

God forbid, any of these rocket science Congress people lose any of their family members to gun violence.

I could never take a photo like this for clicks and funding. I wouldn’t play with karma. It’s almost like they don’t know the stats in this country.

I truly believe this is all for attention connecting off the Massey photograph, to prove she can be even more outrageous. However, she also proves she is a cold-hearted soulless individual. She purports to be a Christian. Nothing says the love of Christ at Christmas like clinging to a lethal weapon, especially after a school shooting.

I hope the capital police are ready for Rep. Boebert and her clan, if they should decide to take a stand, in attacking the capital the next time they contract “Soreloseritis”.

That does surprise me. In the past there would be at least a brief period of respect for the dead before they called out their circus clowns to put on a gun show. Now they're literally shoving kids with guns in our faces as a response to a kid with a gun slaughtering schoolmates, to mock everyone who is upset about the loss of lives. This is a new low.

I think we make a big mistake by fussing about these pictures.

It's like we're jumping into the trap of looking like we're easily offended.

But I think the Massie Christmas card was planned long before the school shooting as was the NRA ammo promotion.

perversion of what Christmas is supposed to represent that we are seeing in these pictures. I've seen a few of these now. What a horrible message to send their children. If ever there was a "war on Christmas," this is it.

Would she think any differently? What if they had been the 4 kids murdered in a mass shooting? Would that just be the price of freedom?
