I see a lot of young women holding those AR-15s. And that’s a good thing.

Third picture down is not an AR, and the 5th pic is of a .22LR look alike.

posing in front of their Christmas trees with the same assault rifle used by the gunmen in three recent bloody killings.

Which three shooters used AR's?

Our 12 year old granddaughter and 10 year old grandson in CO got really nice looking BB guns from their 24 year old brother.
Granddaughter’s is pink - - -

I’d love to own a Black Widow AK47 with a 100 round magazine...

Not a single AK in that collection. Interesting.

The “recipients” looks delightfully surprised, BUT HOW.? They have to start the gun’s paperwork with the KNOWLEDGE AND FULL COOPERATION OF THE END USER.

MUCH more likely that this stuff is airsoft, or relatives of people who bought the gun for themselves.

Santa brought me a Glock 26, and Mrs. Yo-Yo a Ruger SR-22. I asked Santa for an AR, but he said he was flat out of them.

Well, I beat Santa this year. I refinished a 20 gage I inherited from my dad and gave it to our daughter on her birthday late in Nov.

Someone must have gotten a nice gift for Christmas down the road from me. They opened up about 9:00 this morning and fired about 7-8 shots.

It was definitely not a .22 rimfire. Scared my poor dogs something terrible.

Hopefully, they also bought a large amount of pmags and ammo or those AR’s will be expensive paperweights.
