Here’s The Insane Gun-Themed Family Christmas Card A Nevada GOPer Sent Out To Voters

[Warren Stupidity]

Need proof that some people really do love guns more than people? A Nevada Republican seems to think her firearms are part of her family.

In a Christmas card sent out to her followers on Facebook, Nevada state assemblywoman Michele Fiore made sure to arm her entire family – including her young son – with an assortment of lethal weapons. Helpfully, she even included a description of each weapon in the top left corner.

1. So what?

How is this any of our business? If that's how they want to send their Christmas cards, then more power to them, it doesn't affect me, you, or anyone else here.

3. good trigger Control

Notice they are into gun safety and gave weapons holstered or fingers away from any triggers and pointed in a safe direction.

[GGJohn]

5. First thing I noticed as I looked at the picture.

I don't get the outrage here, how is this any of our business?

13. You know what would be cute?

Pacifiers shaped like guns for the little ones to suck on.

Wouldn't that be adorable!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

19. Well, she did share it to the world on her Facebook page, so clearly she wanted to make a statement.

And if she wants to make a public statement on it, it's well within our rights to comment on it.

Including making comments on how it's creepy, and speaks towards the glorification of guns, and contradicts the message of peace conveyed in the Christmas season, and that it's disturbing that she includes young children in all of it, and that had this family been black or Hispanic or Muslim all the people heaping praise on her on Facebook would probably not be doing it, and given that Ms. Fiore recently made comments about wanting to shoot Syrian refugees (no, really!) it just adds to the complete ick factor of it all.

You know, those type of comments.

Oh, and also that the dude on the far right looks like his head was photo shopped on. Kind of looks like one of those things at the fair where you stick your head through a hole in a picture of a bodybuilder. (But that one's kind of a shallow comment, I'll admit.)

24. gun rights are one thing

I can accept your right to have them.

But this Christmas card is tacky and not worth defending.

[Logical]

2. This is why people use the term "gun nuts"! Normal gun owners do not do this! Nt

[GGJohn]

4. I agree, not something I would ever do,

but how is this any of our business?
If that's how they want to send Christmas cards, more power to them, none of our business.

[Logical]

6. Calling out odd behavior is not uncommon. This is a discussion board. I think any....

Posts that insult guns is your concern.

[GGJohn]

7. Except that that isn't insulting firearms, it's an attempt to shame firearm owners

who choose to do a Christmas card that's different.

[annabanana]

10. 'Cause nothing says "Peace on Earth"

like firearms.

[Logical]

12. I said normal gun owners don't worship guns. You gun folks always defend...

Guns as a tool like a fire extinguisher that protects you life or family. If some idiotic family sent xmas cards out holding fire extinguishers i would think that was odd too.

Those idiots are why people think gun owners are nuts. It does not help the gun cause any more than idiots open carrying just to shove it in someones face.

A gun is a tool, not an object to obsess about.

[Buzz Clik]

14. They deserve shaming. Sorry, but the "Christmas" card is fucked up.

[GGJohn]

15. Of course it's fucked up,

but it's still none of our business.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

23. Again...she sent it out on Facebook.

It's not like she sent it out only to friends and family in the mail and it somehow got leaked.

She wanted a public reaction to it.

[Warren Stupidity]

26. They proudly made it everyone's business.

This is not a doxing of these idiots. It is typical however that gunners just go for derailment on everything.

Do you think there is anything wrong with that picture other than your bogus doxing-bad nonsense?

[LanternWaste]

29. It is our business, regardless of how you rationalize it otherwise

It is our business, regardless of how you rationalize it otherwise; an elected official sent a publicly available message en-masse to her constituents and followers. It is in fact, a mass mailer from a representative. Indeed, it begs the question, 'what specifically leads you to allege it is none of our business?'

[callous taoboy]

31. An elected official showing the world

how off the rails with the gun-humping nuttery she is certainly is EVERYONE's business.

[voteearlyvoteoften]

27. Yes it is

I'm using doves and olive branches.

[annabanana]

8. It's ok. Karma will probably

kill them all with some incredibly expensive disease that's only minimally covered by their private health insurance.

[Blue_Tires]

9. This is actually pretty smart

Fiore has gotten way more publicity from this silly stunt than she would ever get from doing her job properly...

And let's be honest -- Somebody has to fill that "tits 'n' gunz" void for the GOP now that Sarah Palin is an afterthought these days...

[duhneece]

11. Nevada Republican lawmaker Michele Fiore says she'll shoot Syrian refugees herself

Gun nut, just -in-general-sociopathic-nut...this woman is a horrible, monstrous human being.

“I am not OK with Syrian refugees,” Republican Assemblywoman Michele Fiore said late last month on her weekly Las Vegas radio show. “I’m not OK with terrorists. I’m OK with putting them down, blacking them out, just put a piece of brass in their ocular cavity and end their miserable life. I’m good with that.”

[Chiyo-chichi]

28. The Daily News did her the favor of correcting "nocular cavity"... which is what she actually said.

Very clearly. Was featured on The Daily Show or Larry Wilmore's show last night... I forget which.

Here's a further sampling of her nuttery: http://wonkette.com/595586/idiot-nevada-assemblywoman-michele-fiore-will-represent-boobs-and-guns-in-congress

16. The 5 or 6-year-old boy holding the gun is the most disturbing element

of this photo.

[-none]

21. At least the 3 youngest ones are not holding guns -- Yet.

This family obviously doesn't understand what the Christ in Christmas stands for.
There is no Peace in their message, only more mistrust and hate. As if we need more of that.
Do they get royalties from the gun manufactures for that card?

[Victor_c3]

17. They forgot to give the two smallest children guns!

That is clearly an oversight on their part.

[Buzz Clik]

18. A bit of background on the lovely Ms Fiore and why she has made this "our business"

Nevada lawmaker, Michele Fiore, sparked outrage by saying she is “not ok with Syrian refugees” and is ready to pull the trigger. Сommunity members accused her of inciting hatred and launched a petition seeking her resignation.
During her weekly Las Vegas radio show “Walk the Talk with Michele Fiore”, the lawmaker was asked why she didn't sign up to her fellow Republican assemblymen’s letter. It was issued after the terrorist attacks in Paris and supported a review of refugee resettlement programs. Fiore said she remained opposed to accepting refugees.

“I’m about to fly to Paris and shoot ‘em in the head myself. I am not OK with Syrian refugees. I’m not OK with terrorists.”

Her rant went on: “I’m OK with putting them down, blacking them out, just put a piece of brass in their ocular cavity and end their miserable life. I’m good with that.”

Her remarks outraged the local community, with a petition calling for her resignation. “Her recent comments regarding the slaughtering of Syrian Refugees is hate speech and she should not be an Assembly Woman in our state. Nevada is embarrassed by her continued, hateful, racist and downright evil remarks,” the statement on Change.org said.

She's a public figure making public inflammatory remarks. Her "Christmas" card reflects the same attitude. She made it "our business".

[treestar]

25. She's potentially dangerous

and can't tell the difference between terrorists and refugees.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

30. Not to mention she sent it out ON HER PUBLIC FACEBOOK PAGE.

So, yeah, it's our business if she voluntarily wanted to make it our business.

[yellowcanine]

20. Isn't sending child pornography through the mail illegal?

[Arkana]

22. Jesus fucking Christ how goddamn insecure do you have to be?

Fucking pathetic. What, are they afraid someone's going to shoot them while they're having their fucking picture taken?
