The tweet first drew criticism from parents who lost their children in school shootings in the United States. Fred Guttenberg, a family member of the school shooting victim, commented under the tweet, "Since we are sharing family photos, this is mine." One is the last photo I took for Jamie, and the other is where she was buried because of the Parkland school shooting. The Michigan campus gunman and his family have also taken pictures like your home before. Fred's daughter Jamie is understood to have been one of 17 people killed in a 2018 shooting at a high school campus in Parkland, Florida, USA.

And Manuel Oliver, who lost his son in that shooting, called Marcy's tweet "the worst taste ever." "This matter should also teach who we should vote for in elections and who not to vote for," he said. This is a very annoying post. ”
Rep. John Yarmuth, a Democrat who chairs the U.S. House budget committee, has denounced Mr. Marcy's practice of posting photos. He tweeted, "I guarantee that not everyone in Kentucky is an insensitive jerk. I remember Republicans shouting that it was insensitive to try to protect people from gun violence after a shooting, but now they openly talk about child murders in front of us as if they were getting a rugby touchdown. Shame on you. ”
