Congresswoman Gets Death Threats Over Gun Control Bill

[cynatnite]

Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) says she has received multiple death threats over legislation she is working on to make sure gun owners have insurance.

“Yesterday, several death threats were phoned into my New York office in response to news reports about a bill I authored requiring gun owners to have insurance,” the congresswoman said in a statement Wednesday morning. “The calls were fielded by young interns, who were understandably shaken by this experience.”

Maloney told the New York Daily News that the threats came in three menacing phone calls, which left her so disturbed she ended up missing a planned awards dinner Tuesday night.

“They said they were going to kill me,” she told the paper.

1. I hope they find the caller(s) and take their guns away.

Because owning guns and making death threats are two things that shouldn't go together. EVER.
