A woman on Twitter has come, erm, under fire after posting a gun-toting graduation photo.
Brenna Spencer, who is a senior at the University of Tennessee Chattanooga, wore a pink “Women for Trump” t-shirt and tucked a gun into the waistband of her jeans for the photo.
She then posted the photo online, writing: “I don’t take normal college graduation photos…”

Understandably, a lot of people were upset by the photo.
I’m 100% pro gun but brandishing a firearm for a photo shoot or showing it off to try and look cool is just stupid. They are tools. Why brag about carrying a gun?

How dare someone have a different opinion on an issue....you think we were living in some kind of democracy!!!!
I read this article because I was curious which you found more objectionable, the shirt or the gun? I think it was a draw ;)
Can the shirt accidentally kill or maim someone? Nope. It's clearly the gun.
Really? Are you sure about that? The gun doesn't appear to be cocked. Perhaps you should go over the finer details before you go off half-cocked ;)
Yeah, I'm sure about that.
The pistol being cocked or not isn't the issue. It's that it's basically being used as a fashion accessory or prop for a photo that's meant to be celebrating finishing school but has no reference to anything scholastic.
