The Scottsdale Gun Club in Arizona is inviting residents to have photos taken with "Santa and his Machine Guns." The club's website announces, "Santa's back with his bag of goodies," which are mostly high-powered automatic weapons.
One photo opportunity was Nov. 26. The next is Dec. 10. from 10 a.m.- 3 p.m. (cost is $5 for members; $10 for non-members.)
Presumably, the promotion is designed to inspire interest among families and children in guns, and to stand up against proponents of gun control.
Richard Jones, a member of the club, told Phoenix news station KSAZ: "Whether you’re a gun advocate or you’re not, you should have a lot of fun with it."
It might be fun for some, but others are bound to find this campaign, and the accompanying video report, a bit unsettling.
