North Carolina lawmaker: March for Our Lives speakers want to murder gun owners [View all]
According to a North Carolina legislator, some March For Our Lives speakers also called for a far more nefarious approach. State Rep. Beverly Boswell, a Republican from the coast, suggested on her Facebook page that speakers at the marches expressed violent intentions.
"Many of the speakers at these rallies were calling for gun registration, confiscation, Second Amendment repeal and even the murder of those who would not turn over their guns to the government,” Boswell wrote on her campaign Facebook page.
Murder? That seems harsh.
Boswell, who’s in her first term representing House District 6, has been an open critic of efforts to toughen gun laws. She recently referred to students who participated in the national school walkout as “Tide pod” eaters and boasted on Facebook about confronting a school leader who held an assembly on that day — which he says was simply to honor the victims of Parkland shooting.
She was also recently scolded by the North Carolina Board of Nursing for misrepresenting herself as a nurse.
