Gun Control Group Hires Security for Capitol Hearing

https://www.texastribune.org/2015/02/11/pro-gun-control-group-gets-security-capitol-hearin/

"An unarmed, off-duty police officer will accompany representatives of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, Claire Larson, the president of the group's Texas chapter, confirmed Wednesday night.

The group has received "death threats, threats of sexual violence, threats against our children," Larson said, and judged Thursday's hearing to be a circumstance in which extra security was needed."

"In the first month of the legislative session, the behavior of some gun rights activists led to the installation of new panic buttons in legislative offices. One Democratic lawmaker now has a security detail after receiving death threats following his decision to kick a group of open carry advocates out of his office. The advocates grew increasingly hostile when they learned he did not support their cause."

Law abiding citizens. Threatening lives so they can wear their penis extenders outside their pants.

And it will probably fucking pass.

I could never in my life tell somebody "I'm gonna kill you", "I'm gonna rape you and beat you", "I'm gonna hurt your children"

Some people are fucking sick, and it's a sad, sad part of our societal culture ...

the right-wing gun lobby in our country. They are inflamed by the rhetoric of Wayne Lapierre, Ted Nugent, Larry Platt, Stewart Rhodes, Fox News, ALEC (Koch Brothers), and the rest of the crazy-assed cold-dead-hands gun nut crowd.

They are bent on destroying all that is good about the USA, and turning it into a lawless, guns-for-hire, Bubba wet dream.

We live in a country where well-armed pinheads gun down college students over parking spaces.

And at this point, absolutely no one should be surprised regarding death and sexual violence threats from the pro-gun crowd. That's how they do business.
