Stupid is as stupid does. Lauren Boebert is so stupid and reckless that she has been cited for not wearing a seat belt and not using child restraints on her kids, not to mention disorderly conduct..  So it stands to reason that she’s not going to obey a gun law, even though she’s now a sitting member of congress. A recent Colorado law states that guns must be locked in a safe with a cable or trigger lock in the event that a “juvenile or a resident who is ineligible to possess a firearm can gain access to the firearm.”

That’s the least of Boebert’s worries, her kid getting hold of a gun. She’s openly mocked this particular law.

Nothing like breaking the law and then openly announcing it. Two of the rifles photographed here appear to be loaded with 30-round magazines and  those have been banned in Colorado since 2013.

But it gets worse still, if you can believe it. In a now-deleted video, Boebert’s 8-year-old son not only has access to loaded weapons, he plays with fire, literally and in the presence of guns. Heaven forfend they are loaded. Salon via Raw Story:

The bookshelf and chair seen in that February Zoom call are also visible in several of the videos featuring Boebert’s son, which indicate that she was in the bedroom of her home in Silt, Colorado, for the congressional meeting.

In the July 25 video, Boebert’s son is seen dancing alone in that same bedroom, close to a weapon that appears to be one of the same rifles seen loaded during the February Zoom call. It’s in a different position in the July video, leaning casually against the headboard of a bed, near what appears to be a handgun lying on the floor. […]

That high-powered rifle is still visible in a video posted by Boebert’s son in late August, in which he shows off his abdominal muscles. Several TikTok videos viewed by Salon reveal that Boebert’s son was playing in the bedroom, at times with two young friends, but with no parental supervision. […]

In one video, Boebert’s son says that Donald Trump “is the real president, not Joe Biden — Joe Biden sucks.” Then he explains, “My mom is Lauren Boebert” before describing a red cigarette lighter as Biden and a green lighter as Trump. In several other videos, Boebert’s son lights and relights the lighters, tossing them on the floor behind him towards the rifle.

This is a disaster waiting to happen. Kids getting their hands on guns and killing themselves or others is nothing new.

“Storing firearms securely is one of the simplest ways to prevent gun violence, especially when unintentional shootings are rising at an alarming pace,” Nick Suplina, managing director of law and policy at Everytown for Gun Safety, told Salon. “Almost every day in the United States, a child gets their hands on a gun and unintentionally kills or injures someone. In fact, research from Everytown shows that there have been at least 259 unintentional shootings by children so far this year.”

In 2018, Boebert explained gun safety by saying, “Accidents happen by being careless or ignorant. Either people don’t know what they’re doing, or they think they know everything.”

Boebert clearly doesn’t know what she’s doing. Hopefully she’ll get a lesson in the Peter Principle and lose reelection next year, having risen to her level of incompetence. Although, frankly, from reading her rap sheet and learning details of her arrests and her inability to handle food storage in her restaurant, her disorderly conduct, all that, she hit her level of incompetence pretty solidly and early on, way before she became involved in politics.

There is a group formed by a couple of Coloradans who describe themselves as combat veterans, RuralColoradoUnited.org, that is devoted to throwing Boebert out of office. Between their efforts, which have been going on for a while, and the redistricting of the CO third congressional district, I think she may be toast. I devoutly hope so. She may not even have a GED. She claims to, but it’s unclear when she got it. But she’s another one of the bimbos who have no problems taking shots at AOC, who is an honors graduate from a fine university, and who has an asteroid named after her.

As I say ad nauseum, two different tribes, two different Americas. When I think of AOC, Adam Schiff and Katie Porter having the same job titles as Madison Cawthorn, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert, I want to tear my own head off before it explodes.

  1. Alaska gave us Caribou Barbie. Colorado has given us Elk Barbie. As for MTG I don’t think Deer Barbie is fair because deer are all over the place. Possum Barbie seems to be a better fit but I’m open to suggestions. Of course, I’d rather they and their time in the spotlight fade into oblivion (literally).

  2. Now let me think:

    not wearing a seat belt
    not using child restraints on her kids
    disorderly conduct
    failure to store food at the required temperature
    Caused multiple instances of food poisoning while operating an unlicensed outdoor grill
    Holding illegal rifle magazines
    Failing to store firearms safely
    allowing a child to play near unsafe weapons

    Yep – she’s eminently qualified to be a Trumpista

    Oh – and someone should tell her that when Leonidas challenged Xerxes to ‘come and take their weapons’, he did exactly that (and wiped out the Greek force totally)

  3. Why is everyone getting so alarmed? Look at the good in this-she’s already brain-washed bobo junior into being the same kind of nit-wit she is. Should he A) shoot himself (and hopefully Mommy Dearest) or B) blow the whole f*cking house up who gives a sh*t? This waste of tampons has already f*cked up this kid’s life. I see no reason for him to become another Kyle Rittenhouse and that is exactly where this 8 year old idiot is headed.
