Boebert Vows to Bring Gun to Capitol, Sparking Outrage
Controversial Representative Draws Ire for Advocating Gun Rights
Colorado Republican Lauren Boebert has sparked outrage after vowing to bring her handgun to the Capitol building in Washington, D.C.
Boebert, who has made a name for herself as a staunch advocate for gun rights, made her declaration on Twitter, stating that she would be carrying her concealed weapon "for the safety of my family and myself." Her announcement has been met with widespread condemnation from both Democrats and Republicans alike, who have accused her of recklessly endangering the lives of her colleagues and Capitol staff.
Boebert's vow comes at a time of heightened security concerns following the January 6th attack on the Capitol by a mob of Donald Trump supporters. The attack has led to increased scrutiny of the safety measures in place at the Capitol and heightened concerns about the potential for further violence.
Boebert's actions have also drawn the attention of law enforcement officials. The Capitol Police has issued a statement saying that they are aware of her plans and will take appropriate measures to ensure the safety of the Capitol complex. It remains to be seen whether Boebert will actually attempt to bring her gun into the Capitol or if she will face legal repercussions for her actions.
