Gun-toting Lauren Boebert leads charge against Capitol metal detectors as others blast ‘Pelosi’s ‘communist America’

However, Representative Boebert, of Colorado, has since publicly slammed the screening demand, dubbing it as a "political stunt" from Pelosi.

Boebert has talked openly about carrying her firearm around town and onto the Capitol grounds.

Earlier this month, Boebert wrote a letter to the House urging them to let a 1967 rule allowing lawmakers to carry firearms in the Capitol stand.
