Furore over gun club's festive firearms snaps

A US gun club is offering children a chance to pose for photos with Santa while holding pistols and assault rifles.

One image shows Santa in a wingback chair with a snowflake background, a Christmas tree behind him and flanked by an $80,000 ($80,000) machine gun and a tripod-mounted rifle. Next to him is a man standing behind a boy, who is holding an unloaded AR-15 with an attached grenade launcher.
