A Christmas card with guns? Lauren Boebert and Thomas Massie start a new culture war.

Given the extent to which school shootings have become the norm in America, I was deeply saddened but not surprised by what occurred in Oxford, Michigan, last month, when a 15-year-old boy is alleged to have unleashed gunfire on his fellow students, killing four of them and injuring several other people.

 I was, however, shocked and repulsed by Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., who, within days of this heartbreaking event, posted a holiday message on social media featuring himself and his smiling family, each member posing with a gun. Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., then joined ranks with Massie by sharing a picture of her own minor children posing with their own large guns, as though the incident in Oxford hadn’t occurred the week before.
