The congresswoman said that gun reform isn't needed in the wake of the Uvalde elementary school shooting.
"When 9/11 happened, we didn't ban planes, we secured the cockpit," Boebert said.
"I think Lauren Boebert's point is that we didn't do anything after 9/11," tweeted Matt Full, editor at, while sharing a clip of Boebert's remarks."There was no government response. No loss of liberties. No legislation. Just continued doing the same things we'd always been doing." Biologist Michael Eisen added:"Good analogy Lauren Boebert. So let's do for guns today what we did for planes after 9/11: create a US Gun Security Administration, and give them a massive budget to do whatever is necessary to prevent people from using guns as weapons."
