"Mass shootings are illegal."

Gun-obsessed Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) didn’t have a lot to say about the latest mass shooting ― but what she did say was so useless, Twitter users couldn’t help but notice.

On Friday, the Colorado congresswoman continued her streak of looking ridiculous on the social media platform by offering a different take from the usual “thoughts and prayers” after Thursday’s mass shooting in Indianapolis: “Mass shootings are illegal.”

Fuckin' unbelievable - I guess in her mind, little one-on-one shootings are O.K. or selective shootings are O.K.

I guess these gun-humping righties don't even feel compelled to cloak their disinterest in buzzwords anymore.

When's the last time you heard of somebody getting busted with some of those?

OK so apparently Lauren Boebert has a stash.

Mass shooting are illegal. So are individual shootings. It' snot the shooting, it's the killing of people for no fucking reason.

But she told us they are illegal, so they'll stop now. Because we didn't know that before now. Now that we know they're illegal, I imagine white men with anger issues and lack of comping skills will suddenly clamor for counseling instead of Call of Duty?

She is part of the problem, she and her ARs and pistols used as Late Century Jihidi interior decor....

She makes other GED recipients look bad. If this current crop of uneducated and incurious morons doesn't scream out for minimum knowledge standards and more than a high school drop out education, I don't know what will. Their ignorant opinions are not as good as reasoned, educated analysis based on facts. SO,yeah, we are better than you.
