For anyone curious, I couldn't find an exact statistics but hearing aids in the US cost between $2000 to $8000 per pair with the average costs sitting around $5000-$6000 per pair.

Insurance coverage varies per insurance provider and per state. It looks like many people will end up paying the maximum required by law before insurance takes over which is roughly between $1000-$3000 depending on state.

Not only is a single purchase expensive, you usually have to replace them every 3 to 5 years.

One of my local gas stations had that to where it was so loud you can hear them in the car. A few weeks after they installed them, someone came by with a hand drill and drilled out all of the speakers. Not sure what happened to that hero but we need more people like them.

Starting back to front, left to right, looks like they have a G3 with buffer tube adapter and standard cheap adjustable stock, Paratrooper FAL, M16A2, M16A1, M60, Uzi, and Thomson Submachine gun.

The designs are old enough to where they could be legal pre-ban machine guns but those are insanely expensive to own ($10k+ each minimum) but considering they're in congress and have an M60 (even semi-auto only is expensive), they're probably extremely rich.

I support people responsibly owning firearms and they are handling them safely (open chambers, no magazines, safe direction, fingers off triggers), but this still looks very bad for a congressman.
