Colorado Representative Rhonda Fields responds to man arrested for threats

http://www.9news.com/news/article/319622/339/CO-Rep-responds-to-man-arrested-for-threats

....
According to an affidavit, one of the letters alleged to have been written by the Colorado Springs man reads, "Rhonda Fields, mother of [Field's daughter]. Death to both." The letter goes on to say "There will be blood! I'm coming for you, N----- B----."

In one of the emails, Sain allegedly wrote, "hopefully somebody Gifords [sic] your asses with a gun."
....

------------------
Yet another right-wing "I'm not a racist" "You'll never take my guns" nutjob who proves he's a racist and will lose his right to own a gun. Hopefully, he will lose his job as well.

2. Personally, I can't believe they aren't charging him with more serious crimes.

I don't know if you read all of the messages/the letter, etc, but that is one scary dude. And any company that has him in an executive position is begging for a lawsuit.

4. This NRA poster boy -- and those like him -- are reason enough for restrictive gun laws.

5. He was just protecting our freedoms by threatening death to someone he disagrees with.

Just another law-abiding gun owner who will be having his rights squashed because he can't buy more 150 round ammo drums.
