Results: Nothing Says Christmas Like Multiple Firearms

Las Vegas Assemblywoman Michele Fiore stirred up some controversy this week when she posted her annual Christmas card online -- a multiple generation family card with all of the family in red shirts and jeans standing in front of a tree. The only difference is that this family is holding firearms, including her young grandson. Fiore, who is a vocal gun rights activist, has sponsored a number of pieces of gun legislation during her time in the state Assembly, including one bill that would permit people to carry concealed weapons in non-secure areas of airports, college campuses, K-12 schools and childcare facilities. The bill passed the Nevada Assembly in April, but never passed the state Senate. How do you feel about this card?
I applaud her for standing up for her beliefs, and reflecting them in her card

While I respect her right to her beliefs, I find it in bad taste to put a gun in that child's hands

I totally disapprove of this card--no matter what she believes, in light of what is happening now, it's in bad taste

Other politicians in the past have been criticized for their inappropriate holiday cards, some merely for being really odd choices, or some for being in bad taste. Tony Blair, the former British Prime Minister sent out this card last year, and comments ranged from "he looks terrified" to "he looks demented". What is your opinion on his card?
It's totally laughable
