AR-15 lapel pins triggering lefties in congress
2023-02-05
[TTAG] The mystery of the lapel pins has now been solved. Republican Rep. Andrew Clyde from Georgia owns a gun store and has now taken responsibility for handing them out.

"I hear that this little pin I’ve been giving out on the House floor has been triggering some of my Democrat colleagues," he said in a video posted to Twitter. "Well, I give it out to remind people of the Second Amendment of the Constitution and how important it is in preserving our liberties."

He also invited other representatives who wanted a pin to stop by his office.

The congressman owns Clyde Armory in Athens, which makes millions selling military-style rifles, body armor, ammunition, and other weapon accessories. ...

Democratic Rep. Cori Bush noted that lawmakers wore the pins during National Gun Violence Survivors Week.

Other Democratic lawmakers also commented on the pins, with Rep. Dina Titus tweeting: "Weapons of war have no place on our streets, much less on our lapels."
