House Republican reacts to Dems' fit over guns in her home(more in depth than yesterday)

Reacting to Democrats who had a fit over the fact she has guns in her home, a Colorado congresswoman says her colleagues across the aisle are "too busy mocking the Constitution" to get their work done.

The reaction from U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., came after a virtual hearing that disintegrated into a diatribe against the Second Amendment, which, Boebert pointed out, is part of the Constitution that Democrats swore an oath to uphold.

"Rather than having a productive debate about policy … Democrats were too busy mocking the Constitution and disrespecting the everyday Americans that I was elected to represent," she said in an interview with Fox News' Mike Emanuel.

"This was my first committee hearing, and the chairman couldn't stop attacking, degrading,and insulting committee members," she said. "I am busy fighting against the left's real fetish for power and stripping Americans of their constitutional rights."

Claude Taylor, a former White House staff member for Bill Clinton, criticized Boebert via Twitter.

"Unsafe gun storage is no laughing matter," he wrote. "Is this Fascist fraulein really the best Colorado's 3rd CD can do?"

Boebert said: "Who says this is storage? These are ready for use."

I’m surprised there is not a GOC...and thinking about it now...is there a Bill of Rights Caucus?

“I appealed to Lincoln for his own sake to remove at once, and, in giving my reasons for it, I simply voiced the admittedly overwhelming protest from the loyal people of the land against lauren’s continuance in command. I could form no judgment during the conversation as to what effect my arguments had upon him beyond the fact that he was greatly distressed at this new complication. When I had said everything that could be said from my standpoint, we lapsed into silence. Lincoln remained silent for what seemed a very long time. He then gathered himself up in his chair and said in a tone of earnestness that I shall never forget: ‘I can’t spare this woman; she fights

No, the Democrats are not opposed to having guns. They have no problem with the Government having guns, as long as they control the Government. They have no problem with the street gangs and other criminals having guns.

Their [the Democrats] problem with guns is when people of good character possess them. In other words, when good people can own guns, then in the viewpoint of the Godless, Demonically possessed, evil Democrats, guns are now a problem.

But they say that they are good Democrats, tit has been said. Ask yourself, can anyone who advocates for the murder of an innocent unborn baby in its mothers womb, a baby who has no chance to harm or do hurt to anyone ,or does the deed themselves be good?

The goings on between her, a real American, and the leftist socialist human debris that infect our government, is the most interesting thing since Donald Trump!

Everybody knows it’s there, ready to go, and nobody has ever touched it but me and my sister.

You learn to shoot by 8 or it's to late. I was born and raised in a time when you told kids not to do something, they didn't or else. Shot my first cottontail before I was 8 and every kid should know how to hunt.

What ever would they say today if Davy Crockett or Daniel Boone were to enter congress ......Wait maybe they did.

I started learning to shoot at 5, rule was I couldn’t hunt till I could hit a .22 cartridge box 10 out of 10 shots, at about 30 yards. Remington 514 single shot .22 rifle. My brother has it now. I started on squirrels and rabbits at age 8, almost 9. Entire family could shoot that way. Don’t let my grandfather hear you sboot 3 times and bring in 2 rabbits...bad idea...better be a dead snake out there somewhere too...

My grandparents always had at least a half dozen guns leaned up just inside their front door. Nobody said anything, you just knew you never touched any except your own gun. Nobody did. Whole family could shoot, and very rarely did anyone miss. We all learned to shoot the way I did. My grandmother could probably out shoot most “deer hunters” today...I’ve heard some of these yahoos shoot 7 times and never find a blood drop. We believed in one shot, period. Knew an old man who could light matches with his 30-06. I think my grandfather could too but never was sure. I know he never missed. Ever. Watched my father drill a nail through a fence post with a 38 colt one day at about 25 yards. Right handed, he was a southpaw. What they didn’t know was he was on the army pistol team, star shooter, required to shoot right handed. So they told him to try it right handed, knowing he was a leftie. That prank failed...

My job was to clean and oil everything after every trip into the woods. 12 ga winchester model 12, Remington 22, old Stevens 410 single shot I used, borrowed from my grandmother. I still clean and oil everything twice a year even if it never gets touched any other time.

Ditto for fishing reels. I have 2 Ambassadeur 5000 reels made in 73 and 74 I’ll string up and use right now. Used both in salt water for 15 years. Still look great, a little wear but nothing out of the ordinary for 40 year old reels. Work perfect too. Have them put up in zip loc bags. Cleaned and oiled first. Use a couple of newer Ambassadeurs, 4600 & 6500. Getting a 5000 C ready, not sure if it will work out though.

She had some guns on a shelf behind her. Seems to me she was taunting them and they fell for it. I’m sure she has a gun safe and probably a pretty nice one.
