Never heard of the journo. Parody piece?

Don't think so, unless it's leaden satire:

All they need is an Instagram account anyway these days

"A US congressman has posted a Christmas picture of himself and what appears to be his family, smiling and posing with an assortment of guns..."

Bonkers.

It's weird but not incongruous with the 2A.

These people and those likely to see them continue to occupy positions of power and influence aren't going anywhere; if anything this image serves as a strong advertisement for progressive people in the US to arm up as well.

At least they have good trigger discipline.

and extremely white too, like, why is it always the white politcan who pose like that without repercussions?

sadly a republican.

They like guns, so what?

Youngest child gets a cute little uzi. Aww....

Nothing embodies the spirit of Christmas like an m249 squad operated weapon. /s?

Good trigger discipline but dad and daughter’s muzzles make my skin crawl.

Even Harriet Tubman was packing heat.

sadly a republican

And ex marine apparently

Duke of Westminster's card last year had the family sat on a tank !

if anything this image serves as a strong advertisement for progressive people in the US to arm up as well.

Like, it might be the practical thing to do but it's fucking wrong and stupid.

if my neighbour, who thinks i should be exterminated because i'm non-white / trans / homosexual / a baby eating demoncrat is armed to the teeth, i'm gonna want to make sure i can at least shoot back if it comes down to brass tacks.

it ain't fun but what's the alternative?

shoot back

Pay attention, violence isn't the answer remember. You have to let them shoot you and wait for the justice system to make things right.

Previous Duke of Westminster was a TA General, he had been the CO of Queens Own Yeomanry, I did two attachments to them he bought extra pyrotechnics out of his own pocket and hired some helicopters for us.
He also had a personal Range Rover painted in camouflage and kitted out with radios instead of the standard Land Rover.

@psg1ben

nope, you're absolutely right. also - the violence perpetrated on a structural leveled against minorities isn't the right kind of violence, so isn't really worthy of a mention.

Previous Dukes of Westminster don’t have a particularly glorious history
