So, what the ‘Authorities’ are saying, in effect, is that you can have *either* the First Amendment, *or* the Second - but not both.....

Additionally, the former gun owner stated, “It is absolutely, absolutely unacceptable to shoot indiscriminately. Target only politicians and their staff and leave regular citizens alone.”

The first amendment gave this cretin enough rope to hang himself.

1st Amendment never granted a right to threaten or incite. This guy is an idiot and deserves it.

The First Amendment does not give one the right to threaten to kill anyone, including member of Congress.

Now, this may have been merely a very, dumb comment, as opposed to a real threat, but an investigation into it seems totally appropriate to me.

Really they’re just saying what’s been the case for a while, if you make a statement that’s deemed as threatening to government officials you’ll get a visit from some well dressed people. Threatening speech isn’t protected.
