How Many Guns Must You Wear To Be A Man?

  • 4 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

Rep. Ryan Armagost pushed the limits of that question during yesterday’s marathon hearing on legislation to ban assault weapons, perhaps breaking the record for most pieces of “firearms flair” displayed by a lawmaker still managing to conform to the Colorado House’s dress code:

Eleven pieces of gun flair is now the bare minimum.

We count eleven total–an AR-15 lapel pin, another AR-15 tie tack, and at least nine guns visible on Rep. Armagost’s tie itself. That’s got to be the most guns we’ve seen near one elected official since Rep. Lauren Boebert pulled out a good chunk of her gun collection to display on the wall behind her during a remote U.S. House committee hearing. And of course, if Armagost is anything like his heat-packing Republican colleagues, he’s packing a real one under his suit jacket too.

Considering how Republican lawmakers fumble and forget their guns around the Capitol with troubling regularity, perhaps it’s good that Armagost is advertising his gun fetish literally on his sleeve. These are the lawmakers you stay out of range of just to be safe.
