A US congressman is under fire for posting a picture of his family smiling and holding guns in front of a Christmas tree days after a deadly school shooting rocked the country.

Thomas Massie, a representative for the staunchly Republican state of Kentucky, posted the photo of himself and six members of his family, each holding a gun.A US congressman on Sunday posted a Christmas picture of himself and what appeared to be his family, smiling and posing with an assortment of guns, just days after four teenagers were killed in a shooting at a Michigan high school.

Some semi-automatic weapons are made to look nearly identical to fully automatic weapons like machine guns. Under US law, weapons like machine guns are restricted to the military, law enforcement and civilians who have obtained special licenses for weapons made before May 1986.

Extremely poor taste and a representative of the government should know better!

No problem with having guns as long as holder is not mentally unbalanced (why we need strict regulations and neuro-exams)

FFS

'rocked the country' not a fucking chance. It was the 30th school shooting just this year

“Under fire”,,, SBS cheeky.

This is just sickening.

They’re hunting human for Jesus?

Mafia style!

For a moment, I would've thought this was The Onion, something satirical, but nope its serious 🤦

To sick to govern….

I should imagine it,s always days after a school shooting in murrica

Is it just me or none of this family are actually look alike each other?

Close the borders! stop the spread of this debasement of humanity and Christmas shame usa meltguns

Talk about Congress being heartless. We don't need this crap making laws for us. Get anyone out of office that does crap like this. We have to draw the damn line somewhere. This should have been drawn a long time ago.

stampmemesnz What is wrong with these Americans? Honestly!

USA ...what a shit hole man.

Why are we continually subjected to imagery of this sick militaristic regime? Do your job and report on important issues.

Border control team WA.

And they call America civilised.

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Season of goodwill so let’s send everyone a family Christmas card……fkwits

If only insensitivity weren't considered a virtue in American politics.

So sick and disgusting!

I can't tell the difference

No one in this family seems to think that is abnormal and cruel. 😡

He is a legend...

What in the actual fck is wrong with these people.

USA and guns= murder

Taliban &family 🤣🤣👍👍

Same advertising school as Scomo it would appear.

Sad.

Yeah that’s the Christmas spirit 🙄seriously why?

The wild west still lives and breathes in USA. There is no real secret Santa here.. everyone already knows what they are getting😂. Automatic and semi-automatic rifles. Ah dear..

Christmas is a time of peace and goodwill. Like your guns? Fair enough. But you’re Christmas-ing wrong. I hope they don’t call themselves Christians.

Great snap shot love the guns a defensive tool to protect and defend its the tool that stops tyrants attempting to subjugate and in slave a population

Shooting is one of the most inclusive Olympic sports... If there is an attack with a car in the US today... should we ban pics at the Formula One for a few days?

They've found a way of stopping reindeer, crapping on their roof.

Is this USA what Australian LNP politicians want so keenly to follow?

The guy is a congressman OMG!! Please America … change the last 2 lines of your anthem to: “Land of the fools, Home of the mad”.

They must have run out of brains, years ago. When are they going to run out of ammunition?

The American way. 🤬😡

They probably don’t know or care how the rest of the world sees them.

Gun violence - the pride of America at the expense of thousands innocent lives loss. A total screwed up country where children have to go through traumatic shooter drills in school, living in fear when will you be the next target.

I see what you did there …”under fire” 😉 Stupidity really must be genetic.

AMURDICA family portrait

And what a lovely bunch of psychopaths 😖😖😖

The King of England wouldn't dare show his face around their place!

Fcking insane. 🙁👎🏻

This is why you shouldn’t let cousins marry.

Under fire?

Just shows the mentality of your congressman. Appalling!

A sick country with many sick people..

Wasn't the school shooter caught? Blaming all gun owners for the crimes of one gun owner is no different from blaming all Muslims for terrorism. And you wouldn't do that, would you? Would you?

Imagine being this afraid.......

Do these people hate their own country? Totally terrifying

I like this version way better

Even if there wasn't a mass murder with guns every other day in the US, how is that picture NOT deeply fucked up? I mean... look at it... that is not a family I want to spend time with under ANY circumstances.

This one picture sums up all that is wrong with America. Guns and bad parenting.

Fkng fanatics.

Nothing like a photo of an average American family gathered round the Xmas tree toting military grade firearms to bring forth the peace on earth goodwill to all message. Truly screwed up country!

Everything that's wrong with America right there!

Under fire?

Seditionists want more ammo for xmas.

Smiling assassins?

They are sick

International students are dumping Australia for the UK and US due to border rulesDivij Gupta has been a student at the University of Western Australia since July last year, but he’s never set foot in the university, or in Australia. If only the federal government built National quarantine facilities, Diviij would be completing his 10-14 days now and be doing orientation online. Hunt, Morrison and co have really buggered Australia. There is no longer any need to attend in person. Our government needs to prioritise education at the same level as work. International students are a net benefit to Australia. Stupid that they haven't been let in to the country. They should really sue our universities or government for being unreasonable and irrational.

Parents of Michigan boy charged over Oxford school shootingA prosecutor describes chilling moments on the day of the shooting when a teacher found a drawing of a gun, a person bleeding and the words 'blood everywhere' at the boy's desk. Good one! 'Jennifer Crumbley texted her son after the shooting, saying, 'Ethan, don't do it,' ', trying to establish an alibi, after the fact. These parents do need a dose of law and order! I hope this sets a precedence for future mass shootings in America. The US gun laws are a disaster but we shouldn't forget that we have a large, cashed up gun lobby in this country who want similar access to guns. And that they find sympathetic ears in our own parliament. An Aussie MP threatening greenies on facebook - this is how it starts.
