Where in the Bible are we advised to honor Christ's birth brandishing semi-automatic weapons?

RantWoman's #AdventCalendar posts may or may not get around to collecting all the #LaurenBoebert news clips in RantWoman's drafts into one big festive #CivicsForLauren holiday package but in terms of naughty / nice listing... . Let's just say around RantWoman, "holding in the Light" can be a pretty fierce concept in the first place. In the second place, if ever political figures need the purifying power of prayer, the illustrious Ms. B pops right to the top of the list.

1. Never mind Rep. Boebert's galling fundraising Islamophobic quips about riding in elevators with Rep. Ilhan Omar when she's not "wearing a vest" and the CO representative's tone-deaf inability to recognize harm to a colleague. Considering Rep. Boebert's flouting of Capitol rules about gun detectors, RantWoman would always assume Ms. Boebert is packing heat and avoid getting into elevators with her. Or perhaps, even if Rep. Boebert were to ditch the Islamophobic smears against a specific colleague, someone should go all in on whether the second amendment also covers ...

2. Please enjoy this clip about an exchange of Christmas tidings between Rep. Ocasio Cortez and Rep Boebert.  RantWoman has more to say "on the other side" as the modern lexicon likes to put it.




3. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse's mom drove him across state lines with a rifle and sensible people are still appalled by the unpunished carnage that resulted. Ethan Crumbley and his parents are all warming jail cells in MI because the parents were willing to enable their underage son's gun fascination instead of getting him the mental health care the note he wrote seems to have been asking for. And now Rep. Boebert is getting her sons semi-automatic weapons for Christmas? If it's illegal for minors to have guns, why don't parents who give their kids guns for Christmas get charged with child abuse? Child Neglect? Child endangerment???

4. While RantWoman is at it about fierce opinions, as disgusting as RantWoman finds Rep. Boebert's behavior, RantWoman is torn. On one hand, Rep. Boebert is on a list of several representatives connected to the January 6 insurrectionist who should probably all be expelled from Congress. On the other hand, RantWoman does not want, for example, to strip Rep. Boebert of committee assignments if that is just going to give her more time for fundraising and xenophobic bilge on Twitter. How about, send her to parenting class for handing out firearms to her kids and then send her to detention to learn about her responsibilities and the needs of her district. RantWoman has no idea how to accomplish the "send Rep. Boebert to detention" concept, but maybe someone out there has suggestions!
