WATCH: Lauren Boebert Says If Gun Control Passes, Americans Will Have To Eat Pet Dogs

Dozens of children have been killed or injured in school shootings in 2022, and mass shooters have terrorized malls, parades, and parties, among other locales and events. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and her ilk will still fight to protect guns rather than lives, and make up the most ridiculous excuses for doing so. It might seem outrageous to imagine that someone could make a connection from a ban on certain semi-automatic rifles to eating the family pet, but again, it’s Lauren Boebert.

Appearing on Newsmax, Boebert railed against the bill that narrowly passed the House, and isn’t likely to pass in the divided Senate. She compared the U.S. to Venezuela, declaring that people in the latter are forced to eat dogs, and warning that the United States is headed in the same direction, and it’s all because of gun control.

“If the citizenry in America is disarmed then we are no longer citizens, we are subjects. Here in America, we have gourmet treats for puppies. We have these amazing groomers for dogs. Well in Venezuela, they eat the dogs! It started because they don’t have firearms. They do not have a way to protect themselves or defend against a tyrannical government.”
The bill that passed the House (along party lines except for two Republicans voting in favor and five Democrats against)would ban the sale, manufacture, transfer, or possession of certain types of guns, specifically a list of semi-automatic weapons, but would not be a ban on gun ownership, in the event that it could somehow pass the Senate.
