After stating “know your history,”Lauren Boebert claimed “there were Gatling guns” when the second amendment was written.

Fact check: The Gatling gun was invented in 1861, over 70 years after the Constitution was drafted.

I remember when this particular nugget of dumbassery was passed around several years ago. It lasted about 15 minutes before even the most regressive gun cultists were shooting it down. The only history they know is every nuance of teh gunz and knocking down a womminz with their superior knowledge of the topic makes them feel their oats. A rare spectacle.

When the very famous hooting baboons picture of salmonella slider and the peach tree dish was taken at the close of the SOTU. The representative from CO had DBD written on the back of the dress she was wearing.

Again, unoriginal.

The first gatling gun ( hand cranked machine gun ) was invented in 1861-1862 and looked like this:



Hard to imagine someone taking one of these into a school classroom and killing 19 students and teachers.

13. Maybe we should be telling people like her about her factual mistakes.

I wonder if anyone ever tells these people that what they are saying just isn't true. I know the few far righters in my life usually seem surprised when I inform them that what they are saying just can't possibly be true. I think they all just talk to themselves so the lies just get spread around.
