Republicans Give LAME Excuses For Enabling The Endless Cycle Of Gun Violence

Republican monsters Lauren Boebert, Bill Cassidy, Ron Johnson, and many others tried their best to deflect any blame away from guns and the gun industry by blaming literally anything else for the epidemic of gun violence and gun control policy. Boebert invoked 9/11’s impact on air travel yet mentioned nothing about multiple wars and the Patriot Act, Johnson blamed wokeness and straying away from religion, while Cassidy opted to defend pig hunters who need assault weapons to kill feral pigs. Cenk Uygur, Jayar Jackson, and Michael Shure discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 6-8 pm ET. http://youtube.com/theyoungturks/live

"Republican representative Lauren Boebert rebuffed the idea of gun control after the deadly Uvalde school shooting with a bizarre justification: the 9/11 terror attacks did not lead to a ban on planes.

The Colorado representative, a staunch supporter of firearms, said children can be protected “without trying to disarm law-abiding citizens”. Ms Boebert fought the 2020 elections with a campaign fiercely attacking the movement to introduce greater gun control.

“When 9/11 happened, we didn’t ban planes,” Ms Boebert said on Fox News’ Hannity Special on Thursday. “We secured the cockpit.

“I want our schools secured, I want their children protected, and I want teachers that can protect themselves and their students,” she added. “And you know what? We can achieve this without trying to disarm law-abiding citizens.”

“For me, this [gun] is my equaliser,” she stated. “I need a way to protect myself and my children. And my firearm is my equaliser, my tool to do that.”"
