Nevada lawmaker posts festive, armed-to-the-teeth Christmas card.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Nothing says Christmas like a family cradling their firearms. <\/p>\n

Nevada Assemblywoman Michele Fiore captured the true meaning of Christmas with her 2015 family Christmas card, which she posted on Facebook this week. In it, every member of her clan above the age of toddlerhood is packing. And so many different kinds of weapons to choose from! There\u2019s a Beretta, some Glocks, a Walther P22 for 5-year-old Jake, and for Michele, a Serbu Super-Shorty 12-gauge shotgun. Woohoo. <\/p>\n

This marvelous public servant was a big supporter of wonderful, law-abiding Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy<\/strong>. She told MSNBC<\/a>, “Don’t come here with guns and expect the American people not to fire back<\/strong>.” <\/p>\n

For the holidays, she went with a much sweeter tone. “It’s up to Americans to protect America,\u201d her festive message said. \u201cWe’re just your ordinary American family.\u201d <\/p>\n

Oh, good God, no.   [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
