The woman who confronted 2020 presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke about his proposed firearm confiscation plans had even more strong words for him Saturday

During an event in Aurora, Colorado on Thursday, Lauren Boebert rebuked O'Rourke's commitment to taking citizens' AR-15's. "I am here to say: Hell, no, you’re not," she said, playing off of O'Rourke's "hell yes" statement during the third Democratic primary debate.

She expanded on her comments while speaking to "Fox & Friends" on Saturday, telling Fox News host Griff Jenkins that O'Rourke was wrong to try and use the memory of her state's tragedies to benefit his campaign.

Sorry to tell you Ms. Boebert, they have ZERO comprehension of what the meaning of shame is. It’s as meaningless to them as INFRINGED. But, carry on young lady.

Absolutely not guilty.

Of anything.

Ever.

Right on.

And those who still consider themselves Democrats are scum.

I posted this because of the courage this young woman has.

She is just a normal average American, untrained in public speaking or politics, but informed, honest, civil, and respectful.

She is, indeed, beautiful.

“The kitchen at Shooters Grill is not the only thing packing heat.

The waitresses do too.

And so do many of the customers.

“Guns are welcome on premises,” reads a sign on the front door of the burger joint in the aptly-named Colorado town of Rifle — population, 9,500.

“Warning: This is not a gun free zone,” reads a sign in the wood-paneled restaurant. “God Bless America,” says another.

Six-shooters and rifles adorn the walls along with American flag imagery and pictures of Hollywood cowboy icon John Wayne.

Shooters Grill owner Lauren Boebert opened the restaurant with her husband, Jason, in 2013.

Shortly after the opening, a man was beaten to death nearby and Boebert said she began questioning how to keep herself and her employees safe.

“What do I do to protect me and my people?” she said. “I could call the police but would they even come out in time?”

Boebert said she sought advice from Edward Wilks, the owner of the Tradesmen gun store and pawn shop located conveniently next door.

Wilks explained that Colorado was an “open carry” state allowing for certain firearms to be carried openly.

She said she started strapping on a gun, a Taurus Judge revolver, the next day.

“It just felt right,” she said. “The customers didn’t bat an eye.”

Several of her waitresses asked her a few weeks later if they could carry a gun as well, Boebert said.

That eventually evolved into the “open carry” theme which characterizes the restaurant today.

“It wasn’t supposed to be a gimmick,” Boebert said. “It was just about protecting you and us.”

Jessie Spaulding, a Shooters waitress with a nose ring and a pink headband, wears a pistol holstered on her hip as she serves customers their burgers and fries.

The gun theme even carries over to the menu, which offers a Swiss & Wesson burger with sauteed onions, mushrooms and Swiss cheese for $11.99.

There’s also the Guac 9 burger, which comes with “Glock-a-mole,” also for $11.99.

Those not in the mood for a burger could go for the Ruger Reuben, a corned beef sandwich, for $12.49.”

That’s right. There’s no reasoning with them.

I’ve eaten in the SHOOTERS GRILL a few times. Most of the customers were carrying, too. No ugly waitresses, either.

I bet she rubs it in his face too.

My beautiful bride left me two years ago next week, after fighting cancer for over 9 years.

He’s a happy man.

” untrained in public speaking or politics, but informed, honest, civil, and respectful.”

I saw her on F&F this morning. For being untrained, she certainly did a bang-up job presenting her case. I guess that’s what happens when you speak from the heart. She did great!
