Rep.-elect Lauren Boebert, a Republican pro-Second Amendment proponent, said she will fight efforts from House Democrats to ban lawmakers from carrying guns at the Capitol in Washington.
“The Democrats are always up for stripping away our Constitutional rights and feel threatened when we simply want to exercise those rights,” Boebert, who is to represent a district in Colorado, told Fox News on Wednesday. “I carry a firearm to protect myself and want to exercise my right to do so in one of the most dangerous cities in America. They want to take that right away from me. I look forward to helping make sure they can’t.”
