It is disgusting that Democrats in Congress would wear AR-15 pins following an attempt on Donald Trump's life with an AR-15.

Oops, no, I got that wrong. These are the AR-15 pins worn by GOP members of Congress after schoolchildren were gunned down in yet another school shooting using an AR-15.

@augieray Wait, seriously somebody did this in your country and there wasn't any response from general public?

@schmaker There was a response to this from Democrats, but it only amused and emboldened the Republicans. https://www.businessinsider.com/congress-members-ar-15-lapel-pins-2023-2
Why Congress members have been wearing lapel pins resembling AR-15

Georgia Rep. Andrew Clyde, who owns a gun store, has taken responsibility for handing out lapel pins in the shape of miniature AR-15 rifles.

@augieray I would expect general public to raise up their voices, not only politicians. It's their kids who gets murdered by the thing they are wearing on the clothes...

@schmaker Plenty did. The GOP doesn't care. They are the "cry harder" party, now.

That is outrageous. It is unbelievable that people would even vote for those guys... then again, there is a significant number of idiots voting for fascists here in Germany, so who am I to talk. I will keep my fingers crossed for your elections!
