Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Thomas Massie: US Congressman condemned for Christmas guns photo
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed, the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution states, which was ratified 230 years ago. It is legal to buy and bear arms, including military-grade assault rifles, in the US. Kentucky’s Republican representative Thomas Massie is a die-hard gun advocate. He doesn’t believe gun control laws will stop gun violence, including school shootings. He even introduced a bill to lower the eligible age to purchase guns to 18 from 21. And on December 5, only a few days after the school shooting in Michigan that left four students dead, he posted a photo of his family around a Christmas tree on Twitter, each of whom was holding a military-grade rifle with a big smile. He wrote there, “Merry Christmas! Santa, please bring ammo.” Even the Taliban won’t post this kind of insensitive photo. Will Massie be reelected?
Nearly 20,000 people were killed by gun violence in America in 2020 alone.
Read the article, see the photo of the Twitter posting, and think if the US is any safer than Afghanistan or Ethiopia.
