The Democratic congresswoman behind a new bill that would require gun owners to get liability insurance or face a fine of up to $10,000 says shes now receiving death threats.
New York Rep. Carolyn Maloney said she has been receiving threats since The Daily Caller reported Tuesday about her Firearm Risk Protection Act, which would require gun buyers nationwide to obtain a qualified liability insurance policy before they are able to legally purchase a firearm.
They said they were going to kill me, Maloney said of the threats, according to the New York Daily News. The liberal Democrat, the paper reported, received three calls within about an hour on Tuesday night.
She says she was so shaken up by the calls that she skipped an awards dinner after reflecting on what happened to former Arizona Rep. Gabby Giffords, who was nearly killed in a 2011 shooting.
I couldnt go. Who knows what could happen? Maloney told the Daily News. I think any member of Congress would be scared after what happened to my good friend Gabby Giffords.

Play Stupid Games. Win Stupid Prizes.
Everyone in public life gets these threats but we only hear about them when the victim want’s sympathy for political reasons.
What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
I scarcely give a sh...er...a smelly Obama.
Wouldn’t it be, uh, ironic if the killer uses a knife.
If she’s not lying about the threats (a VERY big “if” with a liberal), I hope she’ll show some common sense, get a gun, and take an NRA class.
How many democrats in congress are now pulling strings like mad to get their spouses and other relatives set up in the gun insurance business?
This is New York. Irony would be using a (gasp) Big Gulp.
Politicians need to remember that actions do not happen in a vacuum (except perhaps between the politician’s ears). Actions have consequences, and the populace, for better or worse, are reacting strongly to actions they feel are infringing on their rights of speech, etc.
They must not like Insurance Agents.
She should be required to purchase dingbat legislator insurance, under penalty of fine.
Didn’t this cow take an oath to defend the Constitution & Bill of Rights? Maybe this useless subhuman can’t read?
"If your going to shoot, shoot. Don't talk."
Further I doubt the threats are real. Phoney threats are a standard topic of worm infested turds Democrats who want to play the victim card. Mind you, it would not break my heart if someone offed her.
Stop threatening, people. That's useless, and just empowers the enemy. It's time we stopped playing by Marquess de Queensbury rules, and engaged in the street fight.
“Democrat behind mandatory insurance for gun owners bill claims shes getting threats”
Prove it, this one of the oldest tricks the left has.
I simply don’t care that she’s receiving threats. Too bad, how sad.
Now, now. She probably has her armed security guys and gals on high alert with their hollow point .40 cal tax payer funded ammo. Kind of nice to know that you’re paying for the ammo that might take you out huh? At least you’ll be able to see where your money went.
With the easy ability to record calls and messages “to ensure quality of service” I simply don’t trust these claims without a transcript, and the ability for some journalists to hear the recording.
An angry rant: e.g. “you deserve to be strung up...” isn’t a death threat.
