On 4/29/21 at 9:26 AM EDT
Lauren Boebert (R-CO) railed against Joe Biden and called him a tyrant after the president outlined his ambition to pass gun restrictions in his speech to Congress.
Biden called on Republican lawmakers to work with Democrats to pass gun reform bills during his joint address on Wednesday.
He said: I don t want to become confrontational, but we need more SenateRepublicans to join the overall majority of Democratic colleagues and close the loopholes required in background check purchases of guns. We need a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. And don t tell me it can t be done. We did it before and it worked. Talk to most responsible gun owners and hunters and they will tell you there s no possible justification in having 100 rounds in a weapon.

These facilities are shouldering more and more of our national security burden as our nation looks to compete with China and Russia. Lawmakers and Navy leaders have long recognized the need to strengthen our shipbuilding and repair facilities. Now is the time to turn that consensus into action.
