- Rep. Thomas Massie said his family’s gun-filled Christmas card photo wasn’t meant to offend anyone.

Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie defended his gun-toting Christmas card that drew widespread criticism in early December, saying that owning firearms is a tradition for his family akin to playing music and that he thought the photo would be “fun to share.”
“We live in a place where there are like three sheriff’s deputies to cover hundreds of square miles. Everything’s been adjudicated by the time the police show up,” said Massie in a Thursday interview on Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz’ show “Firebrand.” “They’re not minutes away. They are an hour away.”
“It’s just a tradition of owning guns for all the reasons. Not to hunt, not for this or that,” the congressman said.
