I think it is part of our gun culture and it is ok. And it should be ok. And if it is not ok in public eyes, we should care for, that this is ok in the future. She has to decide how she want to present herself in the future and when she think it is ok like posing like this, why not?
And of course it is a political expression. And this should be accepted.
My point of view.
I'm thankful, that she has no regrets!
Damn! Save your god given rights!
