Thomas Massie Trolls The Progs

A US congressman has posted a Christmas picture of himself and what appears to be his family, smiling and posing with an assortment of guns, just days after four teenagers were killed in a shooting at a high school in Michigan.
Thomas Massie of Kentucky tweeted: “Merry Christmas! ps. Santa, please bring ammo.”

The Democratic US Representative John Yarmuth condemned his fellow Kentuckian’s post. “I’m old enough to remember Republicans screaming that it was insensitive to try to protect people from gun violence after a tragedy,” Yarmuth tweeted, apparently referring to calls for gun control laws.
“I promise not everyone in Kentucky is an insensitive asshole,” he added. The shooting in Oxford, Michigan, was the latest in a string of such incidents that have prompted fierce debates over school safety, gun control and gun rights.
It’s good to see Rep. Massie trolling the progs. Never quit!
Now for the readers, name the guns in the photo? If I’m not mistaken, Massie has a collection of Class 3 weapons.

A plurality of “pose with your guns” photo shoots use inert props. Not all, and I won’t even claim most, but enough to make me doubtful the Massie family owns all of those.
It has become a novelty photo industry, sort of like those “Wild West” photo booths you see at fairs and carnivals, where you can dress up in period clothing and pose for a “wanted dead or alive” poster in sepia print. Some of them have period-appropriate guns, too, but they’re all plastic props.

Counterclockwise starting with Rep Massie
M60
Standard Uzi
M1/M1A1 Thompson
SP1 AR-15A1/M16A1
AR-15A2/M16A2
FN FAL
Blasphemous HK91/G3. An AR carbine buttstock on a HK? really?
As I once had a similar personal assortment in the past, I have no reason to think they aren’t all functional guns.

Note: All participants in the photo seem to be exhibiting good trigger and muzzle discipline.
Props or not, good job.

Yeah, Miles. Had a friend with a HK91 clone that went back to the factory multiple times and would still never get through a full mag. YMMV
FWIW, I’m voting that Massie owns these guns.
Screw all the pussies that spout “this is insensitive.” Total straw man bullshit.

Drove past Massey’s farm in Garrison yesterday. Would have loved to have seen this photo op in person! I’d say all those guns are real, knowing Tom.
