Rubio’s gun

Marco Rubio found a new way to celebrate the birth of the Prince of Peace — by bringing a handgun to the Christ child’s manger.

As reported in the New York Times on Jan. 15, Rubio tells us how he spent Christmas Eve, not at mass, but at the gun shop. “I went to go purchase a handgun on the 24th, on Christmas Eve.” This is a new twist on the Three Wise Men who brought gold, frankincense and myrrh.
