He looks gun crazy, she looks like she's scared and not thrilled with guns in the house, and the kid is likely going to grow up to be just like his dad.

This man is not a responsible gun owner, as a responsible gun owner would not be pointing one in his wife's direction, nor glamorizing them by posing with one in a family portrait. I hope the pic is a fake, but fear it's not.

I did a reverse Google image search, and it seems this was originally posted (and shared) on German sites.

This seems to be the first which uses this image. Anyone know what it says?

to oppose domestic violence against women and children. So I guess the position of the gun is intentional.

The article seems to be objecting to family violence against women being referred to in their media 'as family drama' rather than simply 'murder'.

But google translations are not always clear, so this is just my interpretation of the translation.

There was so much text that I didn't even try a translation tool, fearing I would destroy it in my interpretation.

include a translation option. I know what you mean about trying to put in all that text though.
