Friday, during an appearance on FNC’s “Hannity,” Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) offered a defense of the Second Amendment, arguing that it was an “equalizer.”
According to the Colorado freshman Republican lawmaker, gun rights were women’s rights.
“[T]he Second Amendment has nothing to do with hunting,” she said. “And it certainly doesn’t have to do with anything with deers having Kevlar vests. It’s actually an equalizer. Gun rights are women’s rights. And I need an equalizer to defend myself against a larger potential aggressor. That’s why most people carry. So they have a way to defend themselves. And we have the Second Amendment to protect us from a tyrannical government. But this is important to me because I’m a mom of four boys. And I need a way to protect them, to defend our lives. And that is what this is all about.”
“I have a pretty interesting story in my book, ‘My American Life,’ about what spurred me to get passionate about the Second Amendment,” Boebert continued. “I saw so many politicians giving our freedoms away rather than securing our rights like they took an oath to do. And I even challenged Beto O’Rourke whenever he said that he was going to come and take our guns. And now I’m taking on Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the Democrats, and unfortunately, two Republicans in the House to make sure that the American people’s second amendment rights do not get taken away.

Oh my! She is just HOT! Be still my heart!
At one time, women out west complained that they were not on juries and too many men were deemed innocent when they were guilty as hell.
Oh, I see.
So the issue isn’t fighting for and defending the Constitution which protects our God-given freedoms.
The Constitution doesn’t matter. Only “Women’s’ Rights”.
What b#ll sh#t.
Yours is a confused post, friend.
Yes, she wants to uphold the Contitution.
As a diminutive woman, she is aware that only a firearm gives her parity with criminal men.
So, firearm rights are pro-woman.
More stupid libtard ladies would be pro-gun if they went out and touched the grass.
To me, it sounds like Boebet’s argument is that “Women’s Rights” is what validates fighting for guns rights and I object.
She also said, “ And we have the Second Amendment to protect us from a tyrannical government.”
I came back for a second look.
“sounds like Boebet’s argument is that ‘Women’s Rights’ is what validates fighting for guns rights”
I don’t think she’s an idiot and assumes the Founding Fathers included the Second Amendment just so women would be protected from rapists.
Women having access to an equalizer is just a positive aspect of the 2A.
The Constitution, not “women’s rights” is what validates the fight for gun ownership.
Women’s rights and the women’s movement has the spirit of antichrist.
nevertheless, the Constitution, not “women’s rights” is what validates the fight for gun ownership.
Women’s rights and the women’s movement has the spirit of antichrist.
Lol, I hope the people in her district give her a second look.
Are you Biden? Come on man!
And I'll say it again.
Women’s rights and the women’s movement contain the spirit of antichrist.
The fruits among other things show you this if you're willing to look with eyes that perceive as well as see.
Women’s right, minorities, feeble, just plain humans who want to survive.
If you don’t “hear” this, you need to clean out your ears.
If she can stress the importance to a group in order to get them to open their minds and listen, she is doing OK.

Well... no.
While the Constitution enumerates the right to have and carry weapons of all sorts, not just guns, God is who validates it.
It is a God given right to be able to defend yourself against aggression with whatever tool you need.
So HUMAN RIGHTS are not a given? Do I understand ?
True, and in that sense the truths of the Declaration of Independence (DOI) are what validates the fight for gun ownership.
The inspired DOI defines us as individuals and as a nation.
The Constitution is the legal and political extension of the DOI. Whereas the DOI defines the PEOPLE of this nation who are born free by their Creator, the Constitution defines the GOVERNMENT of this nation and delegates certain LIMITED enumerated rights to it. It is understood that every power delegated by the Constitution to the feds lessens the freedom of the people, but necessary to have a workable government that was able to fend off mainly foreign enemies.
The vile Left hates both founding documents because the vile left hates America.
the Constitution enumerates the right to have and carry weapons
No, that is a common misreading of the first ten amendments. The Constitution doesn't enumerate any rights to individuals because those rights ate dispensed by God not man. The first ten amendments are there to satisfy the anti-federalists who didn't want a Constitution and demanded these be put there to confirm the rights they already had, but worried a central government would simply violate them if they weren't clearly spelled out. The first ten amendments are a CONFIRMATION of certain God-given rights, not an enumeration of such.
These things are confirmed in the 9Th and 10th Amendments which the Left has categorically rejected. Unfortunately, since the Left has had control of our most important establishments including education, everything the Left hates has simply not been taught and, thus, we have a fairly ignorant population - by design thanks to the vile Left.
