Rep. Lauren Boebert took time away from getting reimbursed for traveling around the sun to spread her special brand of fiery misinformation on Sunday. After three people were murdered by a gunman who opened fire at a shopping mall in Denmark over the weekend, Boebert went to her Twitter account to pretend she had a point.
Writing, “There was just a mass shooting in Denmark, a country with some of the strictest gun laws in Europe. It’s time to admit that gun laws DO NOT stop mass shootings!”, Boebert was once again testifying to how utterly her existence is a waste of space in the world at large. It’s hard to imagine a less intelligent statement being blurted out by a public official. Boebert was roundly lambasted for her newest attempt at fundraising off of human misery.
Less than 24 hours later, six people were killed and 38 injured after a man opened fire during a July 4 parade in Highland Park, Illinois.
Initially, people attempted to bring some data into the equation.
Considering that Boebert believes that Jesus would have made sure to carry an AR-15 and arm his apostles as well in order to overthrow who exactly? Spoiler alert: Boebert thinks the Jews, not the Roman Prefect Pontius Pilate, killed Jesus of Nazareth.
There’s also Boebert and other Second Amendment fetishists’ proclivity for conflation of the American Revolutionary War with whatever it is they think they’re doing these days.
There were some attempts at helping Boebert get to where she needs to go.
And some tried to remind Boebert and others how not scared of things Republicans and other gun-totting faketriots really are.
And here’s a way to remind you how the guy the traditional media likes to say has a good education and was on a “debate team” is rocking the same analysis of world events.
And finally, because regulating stuff like guns works.
Sign the petition to Congress: Ban assault rifles.
