Boebert said lawmakers vow to uphold the Constitution, and Second Amendment is part of it
California Democratic Rep. Jared Huffman accused Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert, a Republican, of having a "gun fetish" Thursday, prompting her to remind Democrats on the House Natural Resources committee that they had taken an oath to uphold the Constitution."If somebody wants to have a shrine to their gun fetish as a Zoom backdrop in their private life they can do that," Huffman said during the meeting. "But this is our ‘hearing room,’ and at some point we will get past the COVID epidemic, and we’ll all start showing up in person, and our safety and our ability to conduct business civilly without feeling threatened is a relevant consideration, unfortunately."
His "shrine" reference knocked the four-gun display seen behind Boebert in the course of a discussion on firearms in the Capitol complex during the virtually held meeting. In a tweet later in the day, he again accused Boebert of "fetisihizing weapons."

U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., responded Thursday night after a California Democrat accused her earlier in the day of having a "gun fetish" because some weapons were visible on a shelf inside her home during a Zoom call with other lawmakers.
