Newsweek reports:
Representative Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) released a photograph of her family holding guns on Tuesday in support of Representative Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who had posted a similar photo days prior.
Boebert, who was elected in 2020, posted a picture on Twitter that showed herself surrounded by her four children. While Boebert herself does not appear to be holding a gun, her kids are each holding what appear to be assault rifles.
“The Boeberts have your six,@RepThomasMassie!” the tweet was captioned, with the congresswoman jokingly adding that they did not have any spare ammunition for Massie.

Our representatives competing to show the world that gun fetishism is alive and well; that exploiting your children to advance your career is ok; & teenagers that died last week are long forgotten. pic.twitter.com/1DjqGRTNJt

The fact that the four children murdered by a teenager with a gun in Michigan haven’t been buried yet means nothing to the pro-death GOP. They will kill you with guns, Covid or Fascism. https://t.co/vcUywjsLKR

Gun safety = Gun Responsibility. @laurenboebert, the monster who murdered my daughter and 16 others was inspired by photos like this. Because of your incompetence as a parent, as a responsible gun owner and as an American I definitely see a future school shooter in this photo. https://t.co/AfMB2ZnK8I

I heard four young kids were gunned down this week, so here is a photo of my kids with their guns just to say fuck you to their memories.
Sincerely,
Lauren Boebert. https://t.co/RGEEcAtA8z— Bruno Amato (@BrunoAmato_1) December 8, 2021
My God…. it’s been just a week since America suffered yet another horrific school shooting and a second politician posts a photo of her young family parading semi-automatic weapons in front of a Christmas tree.
This is sickening. ? https://t.co/NxNYLEyafI— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 8, 2021
So this is how yet another GOP politician wants to celebrate the birth of Jesus?
Pathetic. https://t.co/JpwpzTegnm— Richard W. Painter (@RWPUSA) December 8, 2021
In some of #America‘s closest allies in the West, acts like this would lead to arrest & one’s children being taken into protective custody.
Beyond being a stunt, this glamorizing of guns by the right is dangerous & stunningly out of touch with their defining “Christian” values. https://t.co/2tafcDgoNM
