Merry Christmas From The Law Makers

Here's a very festive picture of US Congressman, Thomas Massie, with his family armed with semi-automatic weapons. It makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside at the time of peace on earth and goodwill to all men as they gather around the Christmas tree, grinning inanely and holding weapons of death.
His tweet includes the line: 'Merry Christmas! ps. Santa, please bring ammo' so we had better hope that Santa has enough room in his bag because that is a lot of guns to provide for.
It comes only days after yet another school shooting in America and to those of us outside of America, we may believe that it is down to easy access to firearms and bat-shit crazy gun laws but that's incorrect if you ask any bunch of gun toting second-amenders.
If being able to buy a gun at supermarkets along with your breakfast cereal and potatoes isn't the cause then i'm confused why America has these things happening with such frequency.
It can't be a lack of thoughts and prayers because they get mentioned after every massacre and must come as soothing to the families of dead children as they bury them and it can't be because a debate has been worked over because no debate is ever needed, what with it always being too soon for a debate on dangerously inadequate gun laws.
I guess it will come down to the Congressmen, the people who make the laws, to decide whether the woefully lax gun laws which allows easy access to weapons need to be tightened up to try and prevent more deaths or to continue with the status quo which sees 40,000 gun deaths a year.
Anyway, that's for another time, it's Christmas-time so let's just enjoy the lovely family picture of Congressman Massie and his family not letting the death of three teenagers killed by a 15-year-old who shot and killed them with an early Christmas present from his parents ruin their own Christmas.
It's what the baby Jesus would want after-all.
