Kentucky Republican Representative Thomas Massie was harshly criticized after he tweeted a family photo in which he and six family members each brandished a military-style weapon in front of a Christmas tree.

Massie's tweet came just days after a mass shooting occurred at Oxford High School in Oxford Township, Michigan.


In it, Massie asked for Santa Claus to "please bring ammo."

Last week, James and Jennifer Crumbley, the parents of school shooter Ethan Crumbley, were arrested following an intense manhunt and charged with four counts each of involuntary manslaughter.

The Crumbleys had purchased the handgun used in the shooting as a Christmas gift for their son on Black Friday and stored it improperly.

The Crumbleys were called to the school shortly before the shooting occurred to discuss a violent drawing made by their son and did not inform the school they had recently purchased a gun for their son.

Speaking at a news conference on Friday, Oakland County prosecutor Karen McDonald said that the charges "are intended to hold the individuals who contributed to this tragedy accountable and also send a message that gun owners have a responsibility."

The shooting has once again sparked a national debate on gun control and the merits of the Second Amendment. The school district, Oxford Community Schools, has confirmed it will conduct an investigation of the incident.

Tim Throne, the district superintendent, confirmed to The New York Times that "the district also plans to ask an independent security consultant to review the district’s safety practices and procedures."

Massie's photograph was harshly condemned as a questionable display of judgment and reignited calls for gun control nationwide.









Massie has proven one of the more controversial members of the House of Representatives, previously making headlines for pushing against COVID-19 restrictions.

Over the summer, Massie shared a meme showing an arm tattooed with a concentration camp identification number, effectively comparing vaccine mandates to the Holocaust, which was the systematic murder of more than six million Jews across German-occupied Europe.

MTG Furiously Lashes Out At Musk's AI Chatbot After It Questions If She's A True Christian

On the Friday after the GOP controlled House of Representatives finally managed to convince enough members of their own party to pass MAGA President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill to enact more of his Project 2025 agenda, Georgia MAGA Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene decided to make some sort of declaration of her personal identity on X.

Whether she was inspired by the House vote or the upcoming Memorial Day holiday, the post from the self-described Christian nationalist—with ties to White supremacist and antisemitic leaders and organizations—raised some eyebrows on social media.

Now headed to the Senate under the budget reconciliation process, the bill aims to make permanent several tax breaks originally set to expire, including provisions eliminating taxes on tips and overtime pay.

Things People Bought As An Adult Because They Weren't Allowed To Have Them As A Kid

Not all childhoods are created equal. No matter how much love might have been experienced in the home, children realize when there are things in life that they're missing out on because of money or circumstance. There are also children in tougher homes where they could have had some of the niceties if their parents only had said yes.

So it only stands to reason that some of these children turned into adults would indulge a little bit and gift themselves some of the things they always wanted.
