Gun Control Group Hires Security for Capitol Hearing [View all]

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.
