Lauren Boebert's Bizarre School Teacher Look Was Overshadowed By This Eye-Popping Accessory

There has been an ongoing debate on whether or not teachers should be allowed to carry firearms in the wake of school shootings. Vocal gun rights activist Lauren Boebert might've unintentionally given a glimpse into what a weapons-carrying teacher possibly looks like in this day and age in a photo posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. The get-up Boebert wore wasn't exactly anywhere near one of her most inappropriate outfits, but it was definitely a peculiar choice even by her standards. The Colorado representative sported the kind of blue blazer, white dress combo that wouldn't have looked out of place on a quirky teacher or librarian. However, she would've narrowly gotten away with the look if she hadn't sabotaged it in true Boebert fashion with the rifle she held in her hands. 

The accessory was so glaring that it even distracted from her necklace and the mismatched brown high heels she wore, neither of which went with her wardrobe at all. The rifle looked out of place in a seemingly safe office space adorned with plaques on the wall and an American flag hanging behind the controversial businesswoman. However, Boebert made the deliberate choice of carrying an American flag-covered rifle to make sure it blended in more with the office's United States theme. Although some might see it as Boebert flexing her Second Amendment rights, it could also be seen as classless and unnecessary.

We once thought the only thing tackier than Lauren Boebert's style was her enormous tattoo. However, she seemed determined to outdo herself with her American-flag tattooed rifle. But the one  saving grace about her photo is that the gun isn't Boebert's. Of course, it's easy to imagine the former Shooters Grill owner playing arts and crafts with an assault weapon before flaunting it around government property. But the gun actually belongs to Colorado Congressman Ken Buck. Buck would display the decorated assault rifle on his office wall in D.C., where it accompanied his family photos and plaques. Apparently, Boebert simply couldn't resist the opportunity to take a picture with the patriotic firearm.

Along with this outdated fashion trend Boebert should never wear again, we'd like to believe that she would give up trying to mix assault weapons with her threads. But it's a wish that's unlikely to come true. Boebert made a point by once proudly declaring she wouldn't be unarmed while on the job. "Let me tell you why I WILL carry my Glock to Congress," she once posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. "Government does NOT get to tell me or my constituents how we are allowed to keep our families safe. I promise to always stand strong for our 2nd Amendment rights."
