CAPTION: GOP's entry to unseat Democratic Colorado Gov. (family photo)

Hat tip to our friends at ColoradoPols:

Just forwarded to us, this publicity shot of GOP gubernatorial candidate Greg Brophy and his lovely family. No, this is not a joke (as far as we know, anyway):

He is aiming a glock 19 at his foot. His sister (?) is aiming a bushmaster at his right leg.


Shitty range safety dad, and these are the people you love. Hate to see how careful you are with people not related to you.

Every Single One of them is LOADED.

When my Dad, a Combat Marine Veteran of the Pacific & Korea gave me my first rifle in 1959 when I was 10 years old, and took me on a 3 day "vacation" in The Woods to teach me Marine Firearms Safety and Handling, Lesson #1

[font size=3]*There is No Such Thing as an "Unloaded" Weapon.[/font]
ALWAYS treat every firearm as if it has a Live Round in the Chamber.

There were a lot of other rules I learned over those 3 days,
and I have never forgotten them.

My Combat Marine Father is now gone,
but I still have that old bolt action .22, and still shoot it occasionally.
It is still always loaded.

Is not following proper gun etiquette. You don't point your weapon at a person unless you're prepared to use it... or maybe her little brother pissed her off...

Yeah, I went there. But I think he looks like Hitler, not that I think he is Hitler.

the rest of them, I don't know, it's just publicity and can't tell if any of them really are gun freaks or if it's all for show. But it's all rather stupid to say this is our life and that's all there is. They look all set for the zombie invasion all right...

unless they actively participate in the campaign.

I will say that young boy should ask his sister if he has done something to upset her, and invest in steel toe boots

for the next two hours pretend all Democrats are zombies who want to destroy the earth. Two points for an adult, one for a child. . . . All ready? . . . Fire at will."
