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.

” “It is absolutely, absolutely unacceptable to shoot indiscriminately. Target only politicians and their staff and leave regular citizens alone.” “

Sorry - I don’t see a “threat”, in that quote (which, granted, is the only part of his original article available) - where does he say “I will...” or “You must...”

This is, at worst, bad mannered - and stupid - hyperbole, and, in truth, much milder than you’d hear in a barroom on any given Saturday night....
