Same vibe
If you write a non-satirical story and put your villain in a picture like this, people would call it exaggerated and unserious.
I take it you haven’t seen the most recent season of Fargo
I don’t even know what a “Fargo” is! 😀
I don’t want a large Fargo. I want a god damned LITER OF COLA!
Do we have liter of cola?
What’s funny is if Farva had just Dimp-a-Sized his meal for a quarter more, he’d have probably gotten a 32 oz. drink which is very nearly a liter of cola. It’s just 25 cents, and look how much more you get.
The bar is very low, but at least I see trigger discipline
There’s at least 80,000$ worth of guns in this picture. That’s 20,000$ more than the yearly wage of an average American.
That’s not counting any licensing fees, shipping, the two guns on the left that I can’t tell if they’re “cheap” AR15s or expensive military issue rifles, and would be if they bought them for the cheapest bidding price.
This is Thomas Massie’s family. He is currently a Congressman of Kentucky’s 4th congressional district. Where the median household income is $75, 907. Each Congressional person earns $174,000 /y unless posted otherwise.
He comes from a business background in electrical engineering and holds/held 24 patents. Back in 1996, SensAble Technoolgies, Inc., raised $32 million of venture capital. The business was sold back in 2003.
So while his photo of his family holding guns for their Christmas photo is weird as fuck, this dude is rolling in the money.
Yep, full auto firearms are for the rich, connected, and powerful only. They are not for poor plebes like us.
I cannot say for sure, but I would suspect, if they are actually full auto, he personally owns none of those guns. But rather a private group, a type of corporation, actually owns and maintains, and insures all of the these weapons. It’s far cheaper and easier to maintain the collection that way.
But almost every one of the pictured firearms are actually available as street legal semi-auto firearms. A lot of FALs were made semi-auto from the start. Semi auto Thompson guns where made by re-welding cut receivers from parts kits and adding semi-auto trigger groups. New semi auto Uzi’s were imported into the US and other nations as sporting arms, (and might still be). While I haven’t checked lately, new semi-auto G3s can still be had. But they are stupid expensive. I think I have heard of a few M60’s built from parts kits in semi auto. But I have never bothered to try and verify their existence. The AR’s are most likely cheap as chips semi autos.
The photo IS a completely stupid thing and Massie is a fool in all things. But enough money makes right these days. (Pun intended) And he has enough money to be a fool.
I learned from video games that you can find dozens of those things just lying around for free.
WTF with those prices? Isn’t retail on an Uzi like $900? I guess because you can’t find them due to their illegal status without tens of thousands of dollars worth of paperwork and background checks?

Yep, that’s driven up prices for NFA items considerably. You’ll never find an NFA transferable automatic gun in the US for 900$ or lower.
Which gun is which? Specifically what does the mom have?
I couldn’t figure out which one was the Mom vs. which one was the daughter, so I made this.
Dork on the right looks to have an M16A1, its got the Vietnam era handguard.
Could be an original, reproduction, or a commercial AR 15 modified to look like the original M16.

Yep, that’s why I didn’t want to specifically call it one.
As least the inaccurate gun was given to the one who doesn’t look like she can see straight.
For the record I find it weird to have a family photo with guns outright. That said get a better argument, like that one.
they have multiple familys let alone multiple people. Having a hard time counting are we? Let alone the assumptions they bought them in one year and all brand new which I doubt.
How many more straws would you like to hold?
Didn’t someone photoshop a bunch of penises in their hands in place of the guns?
You know what? This is fucking weird. Even as a recreational shooter, this is weird.
Man, I feel so owned right now
What’s the message here exactly? “Merry Christmas, and if that’s not your holiday we’re ready for that, too?”
Also, anyone remember https://awkwardfamilyphotos.com ?
I love my AR-15 but I’m certainly not going to be sending out Christmas cards with a picture of me holding it.
That’s your problem: you don’t love them enough. Each of those humans is in a relationship with the gun they’re holding, so it wouldn’t be a family photo without them. This is a totally normal, not at all weird, picture to take and share with people!
Ooor
Its satire.
I really want to shoot w/e it is that he’s holding 😆 That Tommy gun too.
Republicans are so weird and gross
