(4,311 posts)Lauren Boebert probably thinks this sentence means that only 46% of Americans own guns. Remember, this is the demographic who believed that a one-third pound hamburger would be smaller than a one-quarter pound hamburger.

(12,876 posts)Possibly, because the militant right is itching for an incident to spark a hot civil war.

(2,217 posts)Because once the militant right started carrying off some their own, they would cower and cry victim. They like their targets unarmed and innocent, not able to fight back.

(18,657 posts)The word radical has officially been elevated to a new meaning.
I fully expect the new Congress to waste half their time trying to eliminate the ATF, NEA, EPA, and of course Obamacare.

(67,823 posts)Aspen - 78% D
Durango - 58% D
Pueblo - 49% D (48% R)
Grand Junction - 35% D (63% R)
For what its worth, Grand Junction is trending slightly from red to blue.

(5,738 posts)Aspen is one of the richest cities in the state and Pueblo is one of the poorest. These four cities are spread all over the place. Grand Junction out west almost on the Utah border, Aspen in the mountains, Durango far south toward the four corners area, Pueblo clear to the south east. I have no idea how they decided to allocate this district.

(70,594 posts)But Americas gun super-owners, have amassed huge collections. Just 3% of American adults own a collective 133m firearms half of Americas total gun stock. These owners have collections that range from eight to 140 guns, the 2015 study found. Their average collection: 17 guns each.
But surveys show that gun ownership in America is actually highly concentrated. Only 22 to 31% of Americans adults say they personally own a gun

Like that one-shoulder thing Ive got goin on?
That is VERY inappropriate attire for a serving Member of Congress. Unless shes at some cocktail party. But NOT on the job IN the United States House of Representatives. Some decorum, PLEASE, girlfriend.
