Not appropriate for Christmas IMHO. It'd be the same if he'd chosen to pose with car exhaust pipes, garden digging implements of whatever else. With "Santa bring me a new muffler" or "Santa bring me a new shovel".
Christmas is about celebrating the birth of Christ not rot about "Santa bring me this" or "Santa bring me that". I'd have no problem with that gun picture on the anniversary of the ratification of the 2nd Amendment.
There's a time when a thing is relevant and right. This celebrating one of the Christian faith's most important holy days isn't that time.

Given the fact there was a mass shooting in a school the other day I think it is very distasteful to the families of those who were murdered.

They'll not be partaking in festive feast on the 25th then or enjoying the subsequent Bank Holidays??
I don't celebrate diwalhi because I'm not Hindu. I don't celebrate eid because I'm not a Muslim. I do however celebrate Christmas & am thankful for all that it brings.

I worked with a Nigerian guy many years ago and alongside him many who's heritage was Pakistani.
I said to him...one Ramadan...in daily our group meeting "Are you be fasting Olu?"
To which he replied "No, Richard. I am not a Muslim."
Cue my response "I didn't think you were Olu. I just though you were a fat bastard and could do with losing some weight."
To which all my colleagues of that faith burst into fits of loud laughter.

For those old enough to remember Salman Rushdie and the Satanic Verses drama of the late 1980s early 1990s.
Suffice to say that HMG provided a protection team for the author.
One member of the team was 'slightly' out of shape and was referred to a "Whar".
We were asked by the principal one day why the officer was called that.
To his credit, he laughed at the explanation:-
"It's short for Fatwa".
Yep....doesn't exactly tick the boxes with "Peace and love to all men" - (and women and any other gender which I was never taught about at school of course - don't want to upset anyone now!)

All wrong mate.
Christmas is just an excuse to spend money on things we don't need, and wouldn't buy if it wasn't Christmas.
