As I’m sure we’re all well aware by now, news broke this morning of yet another heart-shattering instance of seemingly never-ending gun violence in America, when an armed individual wearing a gas mask and a green construction vest allegedly tossed a smoke bomb into a crowded Brooklyn subway during rush hour this morning, before opening fire on the passengers. Reports thus far indicate a total of 16 people were harmed in the attack, 10 of which were gunshot victims, five of which are reportedly in critical condition.
As it stands, the alleged Brooklyn subway shooter is still on the loose, and the subject of a massive NYC manhunt.
This serves as just another indicator that there is a serious problem in this country that is going to continue to prove fatal, over and over and over again, until something is done to change it — as noted by so many Democrats, politicians, public officials, and American citizens today.
And then you have the Right.
Already today, we reported that Fox Business essentially ran right over a breaking news alert this morning to continue to whine and complain about President Biden’s gun control attempts in the US — a move that you’d honestly think would be bad enough for the Conservative crowd, given the heinous circumstances this morning.

But as is customary with these people, it can (and does) always get worse.
The GOP has a whole hell of a lot of monsters to offer up. But leading the charge among them is none other than Colorado House Rep. Lauren Boebert.
Boebert already boasts a pretty damn disgusting obsession with guns, in general. But this morning, she took things way too far when she published this tweet, in the midst of the catastrophic Brooklyn subway attack:
Never forget that the people who want to take away your guns are the people who know the least about them.

I’m sure you can imagine how Americans reacted:
Said on the morning of a mass shooting in Brooklyn. Your ignorance knows no bounds.

More gun violence with more innocent victims. Qbert offers nothing but, OOOOOOOH NO MY GUNS! Probably waiting how to figure out how she can manipulate it for donations. https://t.co/QSuOFfhvpN

This is why America needs gun control. People who shouldn’t have gun can’t do this.
Lauren Boebert thinks otherwise.https://t.co/xoBEwM7eSK

Lauren, did you hear there was another shooting today? Do you condemn this?

The lack of shame these people have managed to build over the last few years is beyond astounding. People are dying, Lauren.
