bullet US gun club offers photoshoot with Santa, rifles! corner

A gun club in Arizona has offered its members a chance to have their pictures taken with Santa Claus while holding pistols and military-style rifles.

For a fee of 5 dollars for members and 10 dollars for non-members, the Scottsdale Gun Club in Arizona will arrange a photo op with a nervous looking Santa and a selection of automatic weapons valued at 170,000 dollars.

In the backdrop of the photos is a Garwood Minigun, which can fire up to 6,000 rounds per minute, the Telegraph reported.

Revellers have a range of hand-held guns to choose from including pistols, assault rifles and the odd grenade launcher.

The club's website exhorts readers to "Get your holiday picture with Santa and his machine guns!"

Several of the example pictures include young children either holding guns or sitting in Santa's lap as their parents pack heat. (ANI)

We work strenuously to bring our readers a completely independent perspective of Tucson news. Our software programmers, editors, journalists and affiliated wire services are all dedicated to producing the best journalism possible.

This in a world where conflicts of interest pervade business empires, and political dynasties, and where a shrinking number of media proprietors are growing their interests at the expensive of diversity of media ownership. The Tucson Post is an independent online newspaper. Our focus primarily is to produce the latest breaking stories out of Tucson.

We also cover the nation. Regional news too is a priority, as is our extensive world news coverage. For a Tucson weather report, local news, breaking international headlines, or what's happening in sports, the Tucson Post is for you.

Our Business Centre too is active 24 hours a day, bringing you the latest market updates from key global centres like Tokyo, Sydney, London, Paris, Berlin, and New York. Foreign exchange rates are a regular feature, and we provides a vast range of general interest news covering topics like business travel, seniors, womens interest, and lifestyle stories.
