Lauren Boebart is one sick twisted bag of stupid



Alcohol, guns, and sex what could go wrong? And the young lady with the braces and a pistol?

I have hunted and owned guns for years and this is just so wrong. If you own a gun and that gun is fired in anger
the odds are overwhelming that it will be used on you or somebody you know and the odds that you will be stopping
"the bad guy" are minuscule. So if you have to carry a firearm @ work and not unless you are in the military,
law enforcement, security, or wilderness guiding then go and get another job.

Someone OD’ed in the alley behind her place.

You probably knew that though.

Sounds like a really great place huh?

is inherent in the fact that restaurants and pubs are rarely targets of robberies. Like never, because they have too many people present. These idiots probably believe every movie is "real life".

And open carry is completely ridiculous. If I know you have a gun, and I want to do harm to you, then I know how to approach you and take your gun first. Its the same with gun store owners who walk around their store with a gun strapped to them... who the hell is going to rob a gun store while its open? That virtually never happens either. This whole idea that one must carry a gun around to avoid being a victim of a crime completely ignores the fact that tens of millions of Americans walk around without guns and are never the victim of a crime.

GRrrrrrr.....

And I'm a gun owner for over 20 years.

This is a marketing scheme pushed by the business. 'Bad ass, pistol packing mamas'
It's a Hooters thing -- with a different dress code.

district so that there would be no need for someone to carry around a firearm for personal protection.

If only there was some mechanism where someone would be elected to some sort of body where they could investigate problems such as wanton violence in the streets and propose common sense conclusions based on collected evidence. Then they could put these propsals into something called a bill and then get that bill passed into law.
