Uh-Oh. Time to ban all pictures of guns.

i hope one got a paper cut.

frankly, I find this hilarious. Beneath the picture of a gun were the words: Ruger is coming out with a new handgun named the Congressman - it doesn´t work and you can´t fire it.

The ´´perp´´ was obviously making a point about his representative. I take this as a political statement rather than a threat. But all things considered, I´m not surprised that there was a perceived threat from a picture of a handgun...

make that " no one "

I´ve seen this joke before in an email someone sent me. I actually think it´s quite funny and clever, not a "threat".

Let´s play "Guess the Party". Walorski is a Republican but letting readers know that might hurt the agenda.

I suppose sending a harshly worded letter telling them to get off their posterior and do something is now considered a threat as well.

The article goes on to say:

Underneath the gun, the paper said, “Ruger is coming out with a new pistol in honor of the Senate and House of Representatives. I (sic) will be named the Congressman. It doesn’t work, and you can’t fire it,” the police report said. (Snip)
The man reportedly told the employee that they should all be ashamed.

They are equating it with an actual threat of bodily harm that some nutcase did a while back. Sounds like much ado about nothing. More like a prank than a threat. But even pictures of guns scare Liberals.
