late last week, police arrested a man for allegedly s
ending threatening messages to Colorado state Rep. Rhonda Fields (D), a supporter of gun safety laws featured in a recent ThinkProgress video. Fields sponsored bills banning high-capacity magazines in Colorado and requiring universal background checks for gun sales and transfers.
According to police, a man named Franklin Sain sent six emails, one voicemail and one written letter to Fields that were riddled with obscenities, racial slurs, sexist language and violent threats:
“I guarantee there is not enough law enforcement or military to stop an all-out overthrow of this government if you or that n—– president tries to take our guns,” one e-mail dated Feb. 13 reads. “Guarantee we will make World War I and II look like child’s play, many will die. Be prepared.”Another e-mail expresses hope that someone would “Giffords” both Fields and Rep. Beth McCann, a reference to the 2011 mass shooting that nearly killed Arizona Rep. Gabby Giffords.The paper letter attributed to Sain states, “There will be blood! I’m coming for you, n—– b—–.” . . . “Limiting magazine sizes is stupid and will not work,” he wrote on Feb. 13. “I for one have 100+ 30 round mags and 150 round drums. I will never give those up and I am far from being some whack job.”In an email to Fields the following day, Sain wrote: “I ordered a ton of new 30 round magazines today C***bag…go f*** yourself and your new law…we won’t abide by it…C*** N*****.”
this is the idiotology the right wing and NRA are pushing and the crazies are getting the message, at least now they want Blacks and Hispanics to by guns not to defend themselves but to rake in big scared money.
i know some may have thought when i first started writing about this impending God forbid encounter between moderate Americans and extreme persons.
everyday we hear of murders almost every month we here of mass murder , gun buying without regulation., and the republican with no shame promote at every chance problem their base believes the lies which translate into willingness to engage the Gov't or other Americans, stand your ground, regardless to what grounds you do it, license to kill.
