Jesus, Lauren Boebert, and AR-15s

Congresswoman Boebert's joke about Jesus not having enough AR-15s to prevent his death represents a fundamental misunderstanding of the Gospel message.

U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., recently spoke at a "family camp meeting" event at Charis Christian Center, a non-denominational, charismatic church in Colorado Springs, Colo.

In her speech, Boebert addressed "Twitter trolls" arguing for strict gun control, "they like to say: 'Oh, Jesus didn't need an AR-15. How many AR-15s do you think Jesus woulda had?'"

"Well, he didn't have enough to keep his government from killing him," she joked.

Lauren Boebert claims Jesus “didn’t have enough [AR-15s] to keep his government from killing him.”

While she got a few laughs, based on the video, fortunately, it appeared the joke fell somewhat flat.
