This is why some members of Congress have been seen wearing lapel pins resembling miniature AR-15 rifles

• Some GOP lawmakers have been seen wearing lapel pins in the shape of miniature AR-15 rifles.

• Georgia Rep. Andrew Clyde, who owns a gun store, has taken responsibility for handing them out.

• One Democratic congressman said that wearing the pins "isn't the flex you think it is."

Recently, Republican members of Congress, Rep. George Santos and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna have been spotted wearing lapel pins resembling miniature AR-15 rifles.

"Where are these assault weapon pins coming from? Who is passing these out?" Democratic Rep. Jimmy Gomez tweeted.

In another tweet, Gomez noted that Luna had worn the pin at an Oversight hearing less than 48 hours after her state of Florida experienced a mass shooting that wounded 11 people.

"This isn't the flex you think it is," Gomez said.
