No, none of them was the shooter. No one said they were.

I have never received a Christmas card with a family posing with their guns.
Celebrating and sending Christmas tidings with an entire family displaying guns, my what a powerful message. :(
Me neither
I don't think it's a powerful message

So that fact that he portrays guns in his Xmas card and is from Tennessee have no bearing whatsoever on the events at the school....

Rebuild With Biden!

Maybe not directly. There's a message on the image of a Christmas card with guns -- and it's not all about Christmas.

Interesting. Is it indirect like our democratic and republican politicians all posturing and pointing at the wrong things in lieu of taking concrete actions?

What does the random bible passage have to do with ignoring the crux of the mass killing issue?

That's what the family posing with guns on their Christmas card seems to be doing -- political posturing.
Owning guns are not the issue. Many instances exist in society requiring/feeling the need to do so -- the need for stricter gun laws is the issue.

The bible passage quoted above is basically saying violence begets violence.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — As Nashville residents reeled from a fatal grade school shooting that left six dead, a federal judge quietly cleared the way to drop the minimum age for Tennesseans to carry handguns publicly without a permit to 18 — just two years after a new law set the age at 21.

The move marked yet another relaxation of gun laws in ruby red Tennessee, where GOP leaders have steadily chipped away at firearms regulations and lambasted those who have warned that doing so comes at a cost.

It's a familiar scene playing out across the United States, with Republican-dominant states rebuffing calls to strengthen gun safety laws in the wake of violent tragedies and Democrats in blue states championing gun control proposals.

"This isn't freedom. Our families don't deserve this. I am sick of living in fear that our loved ones won't make it home because of gun violence," said state Sen. Raumesh Akbari, a Democrat from Memphis, shortly after Monday's shooting.

The most significant movement involves the state's permitless carry law. In 2021, Lee led the charge to allow most adults 21 and older to carry handguns without first obtaining a permit that requires clearing a state background check and training. Thereafter, gun manufacturer Smith & Wesson announced plans to relocate its headquarters to Tennessee due to the state's "support for the 2nd Amendment."

So they're doing just the same as the rest of our politicians. But there's something wrong with them....they somehow influenced the matter..

But each and every other politician doing zero but pointing fingers gets no notice?

You're at liberty to decide for yourself who/which political party is trying to prevent tragedies of having so many senseless killings.

Tennessee Shut Down a Red Flag Law That Could Have Stopped the Nashville School Shooting
Law enforcement said there are no laws in the state that would’ve allowed police to take weapons away from the shooter.


But there could have been a law: a Democratic state senator introduced what’s known as a red flag law in January 2020. The bill would have let family members, household members, intimate partners, or law enforcement officers petition a court to ban an individual who “poses an imminent risk of harm to the person or others” from possessing firearms.


If a judge granted the petition and issued an emergency order, the individual would have 48 hours to hand over any guns they already owned, and they would be prohibited from purchasing more until the order is terminated. But first, they would have to prove in a hearing they are no longer a threat to themselves or others.
Republicans held a supermajority in both the state House and Senate at the time (as they do now), and the bill never made it out of committees. In the years since, they have focused more on trying to curb LGBTQ rights than gun safety.

Following Monday’s tragedy, Tennessee Republicans have decided that there’s simply nothing they could have done differently to prevent the attack.
