Can't let threats go unchallenged

It's time for the political rhetoric talking about guns and politicians to stop. I don't care what side of the political spectrum you fall on: if we keep going down this road this country is going to become an anarchy.

If you want to say that your opponent is the scum of the earth, who beats their mother every day, spits on little kids and babies and has no morals, fine.

Once you say that we should use the 2nd Amendment to take the country back, and other such things, you've crossed the line. And no, the 1st Amendment does not give you the right to threaten to murder anyone, politicians included.

So when are Americans going to stand up and say that we've crossed the line with allowing these things?

If you feel that it's acceptable for these types of violence inciting verbiage to continue, I suggest that you are as complicit as the folks who commit the acts of violence.
