Arizona Gun Club Invites Families to Pose With Santa and a Machine Gun
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz – An Arizona gun club is putting a new twist on Christmas by inviting families to pose for a photo with Santa Claus and a gun.
The Scottsdale Gun Club is hosting what they call a family event that allows people to take a holiday card picture with St. Nick, and a high-powered firearm.
Given that I've sent out Christmas cards with my kids on a 1940s vintage Harley-Davidson with Biker Santa, I heartily approve this concept. This story has everything: children and firearms, machine guns, a symbol of the oppressive theocracy who also happens to advocate obesity... This is a leftist's worst nightmare. The only way this could be worse would be if you had Sarah Palin fly Santa in on a helicopter while shooting his reindeer for sport...
Now, how to get the family out to the Scottsdale Gun Club...
That is all.

How about an eggnog stand that doesn't just use rum in the eggnog, they also use raw eggs!
Or passing out toy guns to all the kids? Cap guns for kids 5 to 10, BB guns for kids 11 and up (with an on-site shooting class).
I keep getting this image of someone with a coach gun sitting beside Santa in his sleigh.
There's an old saying that not all publicity is good publicity, and I think this is the case with SGC and this stunt.
This isn't some hick gun shop in the middle of the swamp: Scottsdale Gun Club has successfully themselves up as THE premier indoor firing range west of the Mississippi.
And then they go do something like this, a cheap PR trick that's more Tex and Edna Boil than Texas lawman.
This is why I live in AZ. Heh. C'mon in, Jay! The dry heat's fine!
