Lauren Boebert starts the week with one of her dumbest tweets yet
July 3, 2022 “There was just a mass shooting in Denmark, a country with some of the strictest gun laws in Europe,” Boebert tweeted. “It’s time to admit that gun laws DO NOT stop mass shootings!”For context, what happened in Denmark yesterday was the worst gun attack in the country since February 2015, when a 22-year-old man was killed in a shootout with police after going on a shooting spree that left two people dead and five officers injured.
The country has not had a school shooting since 1994.Related: Lauren Boebert has no shame and this letter to Pete Buttigieg proves itOnline, many reacted to Boebert’s tweet with some hard facts.First one in Denmark this year.
You had over 300. You must be joking— Ståle (@StleKvale) July 3, 2022Denmark’s last mass shooting before this one was in 2015.
We average more than one each day.Do you have the ability to put those two facts together into some sort of coherent hypothesis?You really should have finished high school.— weasel (@weaselx86) July 3, 2022denmark vs usa in gun violence deaths https://t.co/7JgGh2YN7q pic.twitter.com/xcvQPs2O3q— ian bremmer (@ianbremmer) July 3, 2022Gun violence deaths per 100,000 people in developed economies: https://t.co/ptYpgVhvmVU.S.: 3.964Denmark: 0.141She’s lying because there are no consequences for her lies.
