Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) got into a heated debate with a House Democrat on Thursday over her ostentatious gun display while discussing a proposed amendment to a House Natural Resources committee rule preventing its members from carrying firearms in committee rooms.
What zoom needs to offer is the ability to substitute your own filter for the face of the remote party. Kind of like when the lawyer accidentally had a kitten representing him on-screen, but this would be imposed by the viewer. Then we would have, say, a Boebert muppet in front of her fetish objects.
“Boebert was among the Republicans who was accused by some House Democrats of giving tours days before the pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol last month.”
Has anyone read or heard whether there is a serious investigation into this?
She’s a gun nut, not a gun enthusiast and it should be made clear that the reason they don’t want her and a gun in the same room in the Capitol is they don’t want her to shoot someone. As the GOP’ers say “guns don’t kill people people do” and she’s just the people to do that. “the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun” ( which means a gunfight is the ONLY option in that thinking ) but better…no one has a gun and they can all get to work. A chef doesn’t bring a chainsaw to work.
“Why does anyone think that they can cherry pick the Second Amendment and say this this is the one enumerated right that we can take away from people?” Boebert said.“
She ought to read up on some history of how firearms have been regulated in this country for a couple of centuries. In the old west aka the Wild, Wild West the local sheriff would bar individuals who were mentally impaired or had a criminal history from possessing firearms. There was also the “check your gun at the door” rules at hotels and bars.
No, no, no, no you’re confusing the Right to Arm Bears with the Right to Bear Arms. It was more about expanding the militia to the local fauna in colonial days.

Is constitutional law part of the GED core curriculum?
