Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.), who represents the district where a school shooting occurred on Monday, faced criticism after a 2021 photo resurfaced showing him and his family posing with firearms in front of their Christmas tree. Ogles released a statement offering “thoughts and prayers” to the victims’ families, but gun control advocates and Democrats argued that the post was insensitive and called for stricter gun control measures. Ogles has yet to respond to the criticism, but has previously expressed support for gun rights.
