A candidate who’s seeking to represent Nashville in Congress posted a photo of his gun and a pointed message for President Barack Obama on his campaign Facebook page.
Brad Staats, the Republican nominee challenging U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper in the Fifth Congressional District election, posted the picture of the silver and black Colt 911 semiautomatic pistol on Friday. Under it he wrote:
“Many people in Tennessee keep asking me about my opinion on Second Amendment rights.

Welcome to Tennessee Mr. Obama.”
