Not my style of photo but this critique is from people who want to normalize drag queens in our schools, chemical castration of your children and gender affirmation. The right to legal gun ownership has been DE-normalized and vilified. It’s blatantly obvious that the author has very little experience with fire arms.
These Christmas cards are not encouraging “vigilantism” they are showing safe, legal gun ownership. All of them have their weapon faced in a safe direction and have great trigger finger placement.
The author also attempts to, illogically, draw a connection between legal gun ownership, militancy and racism. I would like to hear their opinions on ILLEGAL gun ownership or tell everyone who legally owns guns in Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit and New York that they are raciest.
Direct Quotes:
Last week, Rep. Thomas Massie, Republican of Kentucky, tweeted a photo of his family all holding firearms, which, according to The Guardian, resembled “machine guns and semi-automatic weaponry, some of which are made to look almost identical to fully automatic weapons.” Then on Tuesday, Rep. Lauren Boebert, R Colo., tweeted a photo of herself and her four young sons, each son bearing their own large gun in front of a Christmas tree.
But the images Massie and Boebert tweeted weren’t merely insensitive: They were bold political and cultural statements. The style of the guns, their size, the number of them and the fact that they were being held by young children displayed a disturbing vision of family and safety — one that speaks to a zeal for guns that exploits the right to bear arms as part of a right-wing culture of everyday militance. That culture, which is racialized in nature, in turn makes our society less safe — and helps create fertile soil for extremist violence.
I don’t own a gun, and I think America would be much safer if it disarmed like Australia or regulated guns like Japan.
Massie and Boebert are helping normalize a spectacle of vigilantism that weaves the possibility of warfare into everyday American life.
Massie said, “I crossed guns with family and Christmas, and those are three things that really could trigger the leftists, and I didn't realize that it would be such an explosive cocktail when you put it together. But it adds up to freedom.”
