Sebastian Gorka loves guns.

The former deputy assistant to President Donald Trump has an "eclectic" and wide-ranging collection of firearms: modern handguns, AK and AR military rifles, SW 1917 and Webley 38 revolvers, and .22 caliber rifles, among others.

Every day, Gorka carries two pistols, a tourniquet, and a copy of the US Constitution. Naturally, he's a Second Amendment enthusiast.

"The Second Amendment isn't ultimately about stopping rapists or bank robbers. It's about the people's last line of defense against a strategic level threat. It's not about hunting whitetails," Gorka told Recoil, a magazine focused on guns.

After the story appeared featuring a photo of Gorka posing in a brown suede vest, people on Twitter mocked the former presidential adviser for his gun-toting poses and McLovin-styled attire:

In response to the jokes, Gorka tweeted that "Beta-males and Progressives have been fainting" because of the interview.

Gorka told Recoil that he inherited a love for guns from his father, an anti-Communist freedom fighter who fled Communist Hungary and settled in the UK, where Gorka grew up. He later became a naturalized US citizen.

"As a kid, I loved long-range prone position rifle shooting at Bisley in the UK," Gorka said. "Once a month, my dad and I would make the trip and shoot 7.62 bolt actions with iron aperture sights at 1,000 yards. I loved the delay between the ignition and the bullet hitting the butts."

Gorka left his White House role in August, but has continued to support Trump and his "Make America Great Again" agenda from the outside. Gorka was aligned with the nationalist arm of the Trump administration, occupied most prominently by former Chief Strategist Steve Bannon and senior policy adviser Stephen Miller.
