I think the picture of Boebert (and her existence in general) is a nice statement on the left vs the right vis-a-vis guns. For the pro-gun left (probably most of us here), guns are a tool. A necessary, potentially life-savings tool and that's about it.
For the right, guns are a fetish. It's about signaling the kind of person you are. I mean, I hate the term "virtue signaling" but it's actually kind of appropriate here. For the right, guns are a personality trait. Oh, and also racism - because you gotta be armed up for when those "urban youths" overrun your suburbs like every white reactionary thinks will happen.

I shit red white and blue because I'm a patriot and food safety inspectors are basically the stasi
