The "no" voters on Gun Safety.. are they responding to

their constituents? . . or do they fear for their lives?

We all know now about the ricin laced letter sent to Roger Wicker. We are all familiar with the vicious vitriole aimed by the crazies in emails to every pubic servant who takes a stand against the NRA, and why shouldn't we believe their threats?

We all have a gun to our heads. Those who fight against background checks couldn't pass one.

Wicker voted to end the filibuster. The letter could have been a response to that.

Do they fear for their families? I sure as hell would.
