US gun club offers photoshoot with Santa, rifles!

London, November 30 (ANI): 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)
