What's weird to me is that some people can look at this photo and not think it's a sign of a crazy, dystopian society.
That somehow the insane juxtaposition of smiling, happy family Christmas celebration and high powered weapons doesn't seem completely insane to them.
I think the worst part is these people in the photos aren't the most insane ones. Sure, the picture is crazy, but they know that it appeals to a certain demographic. They aren't doing it out of a desire for the picture themselves probably, but to make others like them somehow.
He's a Congressman appealing to a very specific base.
Which in itself, even if this man hated guns, is some sociopathic shit.
