We should pretend guns don't exist and people don't use them lawfully for a certain period of mourning anytime someone is killed? Might as well wish them into non-existence.
If that M60 doesn't have a tax stamp, then yes that is an outrageous photo.

School shooting or not, why would you even pose for a picture like that? They love their guns so much?
Such weird fascination with guns; especially ones that shouldn’t even be used for hunting or target practice…really the only two ways citizens would be using a gun

Come on dude. I know you can't see past your constitutional right to bear arms. But this dude is a politician. You can't tell me you don't believe in just a little bit of restraint after an event like that? Quit looking at it so black and white.
Edit- that was responding to ss

Who cares? (And those definitely aren't the only two reasons a citizen should own a gun.)

I don't believe that a school shooting makes pictures of nonviolent people holding guns problematic in the slightest.

But I could see why people who are anti-gun think said photos are problematic. They genuinely can't conceive of someone who doesn't tie the two together.

I get why they feel that way, but for Massie to agree with that view would mean he agrees that he shares moral culpability.
It'd be like asking Muslims in your neighborhood to cancel Eid al-Fitr because ISIS just committed some atrocity in the name of Islam. They don't agree and had nothing to do with it, so why should they feel bad celebrating a holiday?

Yes exactly.
except that one is celebrating that ending of a culturally historic fasting ritual and the other is celebrating cutting-edge weapon technology designed to kill people, amirite?

1. That's a public person, not an ordinary citizen. 2. Guns have nothing to do with Xmas.
