for MTG to simply wrap the gun up in festive balloon paper and present it to some toddler in her district. Imagine the crowd-pleasing photo op!

Not only that, the most vile, awful, disgusting, criminally insane, crazy ass person who's ever been elected to Congress since Joseph McCarthy giving away a weapon doesn't raise any red flags or alarms?

WTF society are we living in?

Her “favorite semiauto” costs over $11,000, weighs 16 pounds, and because it’s semiauto it won’t kill people you don’t like any faster than the cheapest AR-15 in any gun store in America. The company that makes it sells it as a “military collectible.” If anyone has ever actually bought one it’s hanging on the wall at a VFW or Marine Corps League hall.

No thanks, Marjoe.

I'd rather have a pea shooter that's made up to look like a M134.
