Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert of Colorado attracted attention last month when she appeared at a virtual House committee meeting in front of a large display of rifles.

Now, following the mass shooting in her home state of Colorado, Boebert appeared in a virtual interview to argue against stricter gun regulations.

If Boebert is so certain guns aren't anything to be ashamed of, Twitter wondered why Boebert removed her display.

Apparently, Boebert felt her guns might not send the right message after a mass shooting.

Twitter ridiculed Boebert for her sudden, unacknowledged change of decor.

Perhaps Boebet's guns will reappear after some time has passed since the most recent mass shooting.
