Okay, let me play Devil's Advocate for a second here... *puts on red hat with little pointy horns*
First off, nobody threatened her life. All they said was she'd never take "our" guns, and that they knew where she lived. This is a lot different from saying " I don't like what you're saying/doing and I'm gonna come kill you".
Next... some people NEED to be threatened. It's about the only thing that keeps them from doing something stupid. Hell, it's how our laws work. They (the laws) say "If you do *this*, we'll do *that* to ya." You don't do *this*, you got nothing to worry about.
It's a threat, plain and simple.
Now, considering that this woman's words aren't just her opinion... that the thoughts behind them are things she's willing to take action on and try to make a reality... Then maybe somebody pointing out that those actions can/will have a consequences isn't such a horrible thing?
Again, simply saying your piece and speaking your mind is one thing. Trying to shove those beliefs down other people's throats is another matter entirely.
Anyway, I'm done now, so I'll take the hat with the horns off.
