USA: MP is photographed as a family at the Christmas tree holding guns

Member of Parliament on USA, shocked posing with his family at Christmas tree holding arms.

A Republican lawmaker has been at the center of a controversy sparked by a photo of himself with his family rejoicing in front of a Christmas tree adorned with garlands… and guns in hand, just days after a deadly shooting at an American school.

“Merry Christmas! PS: Santa Claus, bring ammunition “, commented Thomas Massey, who represents Kentucky in the House of Representatives, posting on Twitter the photo where he appears with six of his relatives.

The United States on Tuesday mourned the victims of an armed violence at a high school in Michigan (north) during which a teenager killed four students, a tragedy repeated in a country where gun violence has been described as an “epidemic” by President Biden.

The parents of the 15-year-old gunman, who is accused of negligent homicide, had given their son the Sig Sauer semi-automatic pistol in advance as a Christmas present.

At the same time, the family photo of Thomas Massey caused a stir, with elected officials and parents of gunmen accusing the Republican of anesthesia.

“Scandalous,” wrote Democrat John Yarmouth, saying such messages were tantamount to “explicitly killing children.”
