He is now giving away two AR-15s instead of one to show how committed he is to his to spreading guns around.

State Rep. Andy Holt wrote a lengthy post on his Facebook page Monday bashing the media for asking if he’d still give away the same model of semi-automatic rifle used in the mass shooting in Orlando—as well as the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre and in December’s terror attack in San Bernardino, California—as a prize at his “Hog Fest” fundraiser on June 25.

His original plan was to only give away one rifle, but because of the backlash from the media, he’ll give away two, according to WSMV.

“I’m furious that I get phone calls from the media asking me if I’m still going to give away an AR-15 at our HogFest, rather than asking me how many extra firearms I’ll be handing out to ensure people can protect themselves,” Holt wrote on Facebook. “After all, it was a bullet that stopped the terrorist. Amazing how so many seem to miss that fact.”

    So…will he do a background check on those people who he gives the rifles to? What’s to stop a felon or some unstable person to try to get in on this rifle give away?

    I’m surprised he hasn’t offered free targets from the gun shop/range that banned muslims.

    we had, I say had, a pig farmer who raised wild organic pigs. One day he was found in one of their mud wallowing pools, mostly eaten.

    The GOP is now the party of the Brain Dead. They’re zombies, they just haven’t realized it yet, it’s coming though, it’s coming.

    A Florida Republican, what else would you expect? Taste and compassion?
