Lauren Boebert's Bizarre Prediction About An Assault Weapon Ban Has Twitter In Stitches

Lauren Boebert has made headlines in the media for openly attacking politicians like Vice President Kamala Harris for things like using she/her pronouns, and this time around, Boebert’s remarks on a  conservative news-focused television station have been shocking to some. Boebert recently appeared on Newsmax in conversation with Sebastian Gorka to discuss her pro-second amendment stance, and made a startling comment about her views on the future of the United States (via the Daily Mail).

Boebert compared Venezuela, which banned the commercial sale of guns and ammunition back in 2012, to the current state of the U.S. “You know here in America, we have gourmet treats for puppies, we have these amazing groomers for dogs,” Boebert told Gorka, as seen in a video clip uploaded on Twitter. “Well, in Venezuela, they eat the dogs and it started because they don’t have firearms. They do not have a way to protect themselves, to defend themselves against a tyrannical government.”

Boebert’s comments were in reference to the House’s decision to pass a bill banning semiautomatic assault weapons in a narrow vote of 217-213.

The social media site retorted in no time, with one user tweeting: “I’m Canadian. We have gun laws banning assault weapons. Neither I nor my neighbours have eaten any dogs.” Another user took a sarcastic jab writing, “Does anyone else want to know more about that time Lauren Boebert ate her dog because she couldn’t find her gun?”
