An American gun club has invited children and their families to pose for pictures with Santa Claus – and a high-powered firearm! They are able to choose between grenade launchers, assault rifles and AK-47s. The picture, taken against a festive backdrop, will then feature on a holiday card. Afterwards, the families also get a chance to test out the machine guns.

Describing the event, gun club member Richard Jones says:

Families and gun enthusiasts will have a one-of-a-kind opportunity to be photographed next to Santa while against a backdrop of a stunning $80 000 Garwood mini-gun and SGC’s coolest belt fed machine guns including the M60, M249 and M240. I think it’s going to be all in fun from those who support the second amendment and those who don’t. Whether you’re a gun advocate or not, you should have a lot of fun with it.”

Here are some more images of people having fun with some guns:
