The Gun Control Legislation failed miserably - gun nuts everywhere won ...the only "reason" to send a ricin filled letter would be to stir up controversy and paint, with a very broad brush, all these gun nuts as being extremist wackos waiting for the next revolution ---
I can see it now "demand a plan II"

I can't help but notice that the minute an anti gun control nutjob does something very dangerous and stupid, all the 2nd amendment supports come out blaming progressives and throwing personal attacks at other posters.
It's a sad freaking day when people are so hot over thier political beliefs that they completely ignore the facts.
Someone mailed ricin to to a mayor and an organization's leader. It does not matter why and it wouldn't be any different if the ricin laced letter had been sent to every member of the NRA. Any reasons this person had, is an unexcusable attempt to justify an act of violence.
So quit your bickering and go find an issue worth debating. This is not it.

What are you talking about. Your posts are jibberish? I am a big believer in the law. If you break it you should be held to it. Everyone no matter who you are progressive or tea party member.
Equal protection under the law..........GET IT.
You might want to re-read the article posted because it seems like you have no idea what you are talking about.

That moron tried to ban soda.
Even though this was a set up, he deserves to get mailed lots of things.
