'What happened to the assault weapon shrine?'

Sharp-eyed critics of Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) noticed a none-too-subtle change in her decor on Tuesday night after she posted an interview she did with Newsmax on the mass shooting in her state on Monday.

In a previous question and answer Zoom session she did weeks ago, she had a full display of her personal armory haphazardly stacked on the bookshelves behind her. Tuesday night those same guns were nowhere to be seen, replaced with books.

It did not go unnoticed as you can see below:

Hey Boebert your still a POS, do you think that open carry law in my former state would have prevented this shit..........don't think so, its about fucking back ground checks and and just for added fun with what ever is running through that rock between your ears called a brain, its not about that racist's second amendment dogma either that your side likes to spout off about and use all the time like in the twitter feed you posted .............

22. When their motives are transparent and ripe for lampoon

the tide has turned against them. That was a good one!

2. Another RW spineless hypocrite.

Hey Boebert, if your really believe all of your bullshit why are you hiding your idols???

[TheBlackAdder]

24. Merchant of Death Boebert almost immediately started to fundraise off of the shooting too!

.

But while decent people were still processing the horrific tragedy, Boebert saw it as a moment to line her pockets via some incendiary, pro-gun rhetoric. Raw Story noticed that one hour after her “prayers” and just two hours after the massacre, Boebert was ready to cash in. Apparently, she was in too big a rush to carefully proofread. She wrote:

Fellow Patriot, as a supporter, I want to make sure you are up-to-date with what is happening in Washington. While the Media with the help of Big Tech pretends that Joe Biden is a “moderate,“ AOC, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer are filling their radical liberal army into a Trojan Horse to attack our freedoms. Next: our Second Amendment.

Who do they think they are?! I will fight this new attack on our sacred rights with everything I have. .… This effort can only end with one tthing: turning law abiding citizens into criminals. That’s what they want. Do you thing [sic] the gang members, drug runners, and thugs will obey their laws? Of course not. This is about punishing conservatives who want to keep the right to defend their family and their livelihood.

3. There's no law that could have stopped him

except the assault rifle ban that Colorado's legislature passed but a Judge struck down just six days before the shooting. Laws like that?

The 2nd Amendment is not about personal armories. That's a sign of sickness, amassing an arsenal like that. She knows it, or she would not have taken them down and replaced them with books she's never read. It's not about personal self defense, or it wouldn't start with the phrase A well regulated militia....

We need to stop pretending the 2nd Amendment didn't have its origins in armed militias clearing out natives on the edges of the colonies and in slave patrols hunting down escaped property. That's the bargain the Southern States made--their slave patrols
or militias, as they were called, needed to be able to cross state lines. We need to stop pretending muskets and shotguns and assault rifles are all the same. We need to stop pretending that everyone who wants a gun should have one. Where all these hoards of home invaders? WHere are all these good guys with guns stopping crimes in progress? Too many dudes like Boebert and Cawthorn and Greene who have no interest in serving in the military or the guard want to pretend they are all that's standing between us and oblivion. It's delusional video game pretend bravery and valor.

It's toxic Masculinity in bed with religious fervor. The GOP immediately went to you own't take my guns, and offered a hearty defense of prayers that clearly are not working. They defend white guys' right to murder others as the cost of doing business even after the Insurrection.

On a positive note, McTurltle's lips are blue. He's trying to hide that, but they're blue. He is not gettign good blood flow. He is paling around with the Grim Reaper, who really doesn't want him either. Beshear needs to put a democra in when Mitch croaks. and then we need to go bigger than big.

6. When the Bill of Rights was drafted,

A farmer with a musket was a match for a British soldier. Today, you would need a nuclear tipped cruise missile silo in your back yard and a armored personnel carrier with depleted uranium shells in your garage. It’s your right, nay, your duty, to be as heavily armed as your oppressive government soldier.

7. It's Conservative Selective Reading. Same as with the Bible and the Constitution.

They read what helps them & ignore the rest

[gldstwmn]

10. We have a red flag law in CO

that would have stopped him had anyone in his 20 person household made a phone call and said their schizophrenic relative just bought an assault rifle.

[Brogrizzly]

12. Well written. N/t

[SYFROYH]

23. certainly slave patrols were an interest of southerners, but its not the only reason the 2nd exists

The State of Pennsylvania (abolitionist from its founding) had and still has a strongly worded RKBA in its state constitution.

Originally stated as:
XIII. That the people have a right to bear arms for the defense of themselves and the state; and as standing armies in the time of peace are dangerous to liberty, they ought not to be kept up; And that the military should be kept under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power.

Revised to:
The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned.
Pennsylvania Constitutional Provision Article I, Section 21: Right to bear arms.

4. They have the nerve to complain about "cancel culture ". Lmao

She self canceled herself. What another eight wing hypocrite.

[gratuitous]

5. Ohmigosh! Lauren! Someone stoled your guns!

Ambulatory pile of hypocrisy.

[Hekate]

9. She has the meanest little ferret-face I've ever seen

[Harker]

11. I'm guessing you've not seen her mother. n/t

[Garion_55]

13. Everyone should be allowed to own 2 guns

I would say only one gun but the Constitution does say bear arms plural.

If it were up to me there would only be one type of gun on the market and that's the type of gun an 80 year old grandma could fire.

Personally I Think we should go back to the 6 shooter hand loading revolvers and thats it.

Maybe one rifle for hunting.

And citizens are allowed up to 2 of those.

That would satisfy the strict interpretation of the Constitution it says you can bear arms but it doesn't say what type and it doesn't say you are allowed more than 2

14. I was thinking

The top picture on the right is the same facial expression she had when her criminal husband flopped out his adult Johnson and Johnson in the faces of her and her underage girl friends at the bowling alley.

[bucolic_frolic]

16. Reporters should question her about content in the books

[Celerity]

21. ...

[IronLionZion]

17. How do you tell if someone is open carrying or about to commit a mass shooting?
