Lauren Boebert, Second Amendment warrior, really hates constitutional 'rewrites'

Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert needs more attention.
First, Marjorie Taylor Greene stole her thunder by trotting out the Jewish space lasers while Boebert was still plunging her hands into the soft, wet clay of garden-variety QAnon conspiracies.
Then Ted Cruz decided to overshadow them both with the single worst travel decision since the Donner Party turned down their complimentary peanuts and Biscoff cookies to save room for the hot meal that was coming later.
But Boebert is back, baby!
Take a gander:
Good God, these people. I know there aren’t citizenship tests for people who were born here, but can we make an exception for incoming members of Congress?
So what do you suppose Boebert thinks the “amend” part of her beloved Second Amendment means? It was, erm, kind of a rewrite. Because the Founding Fathers looked around them and decided the day would surely come when we’d need to spend decades arguing over whether three guys in a mildewy basement playing Doom and eating expired Funyuns constitute a “militia.”
Needless to say, Lauren was dragged pretty hard on the Twitter.
We all have doorstops smarter than Lauren Boebert. I call mine “Marjorie Taylor Greene.”
