NRA thugs do this–they do not care darn hoot 30 kids killed in Sanyo hook elementary. Pass gun-ban laws.
you know we all want to know what the letter said....
sounds fishy...why would a pro-gun person do something that would give the anti-gun side more power and leverage
law bidding nra gun nuts at work
The NRA should denounce this act of terrorism...or are we expecting too much?
So.......how is it, people obtain ricin so easily?
I know this guys is a fool and dork but no one sould be threaten this way or anyway with harm
Some gun nut from WV or NC.
And you think those who run the NRA are not dangerous? LaPierre & Co. has worked the most radical into a
frenzy with their words. Time for the real hunters to kick these guys to the curb and start over.
Just sayin.
I wonder (and hope) it can be traced back to who sent it. This is an evil act. It shows that who sent it can't be rational and accept other views. That isn't acceptable in a rational democratic country like ours.
I wonder if this is the new norm for what happens to politicians when they try to violate the Constitution.
Leave it to those family value bible thumping my way or the highway guns don't kill fools to turn something simple as gun safety into a terrorism threat. Same as with double bombs at abortion clinics or federal buildings.
