here's what i i think a lot of folks don't know you did not originally have the intention to have a a firearm christmas card but the massey family

00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:18.390
actually has firearms around you live in a rural part of kentucky a firearms are sort of a part of life so maybe just tell us how does the massey family think

00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:27.189
about firearms and do you view them as solely this tool of destruction or is there maybe uh just a more modest approach to this type of life that a lot

00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:36.790
of americans wouldn't understand well first of all we live in a place where there are like three sheriffs of deputies to cover hundreds of square miles everything's been adjudicated by

00:00:36.800 --> 00:00:45.350
the time the police show up okay so you got to keep that in mind they're not minutes away they are an hour away

00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:55.110
uh but also it's just a tradition of uh owning guns for all the reasons not to hunt not for this or that and here's how

00:00:55.120 --> 00:01:05.350
the christmas card picture happened i didn't mean to trigger every leftist on every continent in the united states with this christmas with this christmas card so we took christmas card pictures

00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:14.230
of us doing something we also like to do which is playing music so we're all holding musical instruments in the actual christmas card and my mail

00:01:14.240 --> 00:01:23.429
vendor said all right you need to send me that card we got to get these out by christmas so this weekend i'm going through that file folder and i found this this little gym where we just

00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:31.910
decided to pick up all the guns and pose and i was like wow this no the world's not going to see this be kind of fun just to share it

00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:40.390
and i shared it and i didn't just kick the hornet's nest i agitated every hornet on the planet and bbc was running specials on the

00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:48.789
thomas massey christmas card the archbishop of canterbury weighed in and i mean shouldn't he be making like those chocolate eggs right

00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:57.030
right i mean i'm hungry just when you mentioned that made me want one of those chocolate eggs but but i think what what a lot of people in my district saw through that

00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:05.920
is that firearms are not in and of themselves some deeply offensive thing to other people
