The Congressman posted the photo a mere days after 15-year-old Ethan Crumbley carried out the deadliest school shooting in the US this year, only the latest in a decades-long series of mass shootings at US schools. His parents were arrested on Saturday in connection with the massacre.

The Oxford shooter, Ethan Crumbley
Massie represents a Republican-majority district. He and his family seem to be holding an M60 machine gun, AR-15 semi-automatic rifle and a Thompson submachine gun.
The shooting in Oxford, Michigan in which a teacher and six other students were wounded, was the latest in a string of incidents that have prompted debates over school safety, gun control and gun rights.
