So there has been only one verified threat. He, Franklin Sain, is not in jail he is out on bond. So once again your facts are just not correct.
BTW
When it comes to threats against officials, does Denver have a double standard?
Back in August, a man called the office of another local politician, Republican Secretary of State Scott Gessler, and said that "Republicans should be shot in the head, and that way maybe they would learn," according to Minerva Padron, the staffer who took the call. Four days later, the office received an e-mail from someone threatening to rape Gessler's wife and daughter. No one was charged in connection with either the phone call or the e-mail threat —
(CNN) -- States with the most gun laws experienced a lower overall mortality rate from firearms than did states with the fewest laws, researchers in Boston reported in a study published Wednesday.
"States that have the most laws have a 42% decreased rate of firearm fatalities compared to those with the least laws," said Dr. Eric W. Fleegler, an attending physician in pediatric emergency medicine at Boston Children's Hospital and an assistant professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School.
Those states with the most gun laws saw a 40% reduction in firearm-related homicides and a 37% reduction in firearm-related suicides, he said in a telephone interview.
Fleegler, the lead author in the study published online in JAMA Internal Medicine, reached that conclusion by analyzing data reported to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 2007 through 2010 and then correlating those figures with state-level firearm legislation aggregated by the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
Wow... Imagine my surprise... More laws = less gun mortality
(We might have had numbers like this sooner, but the NRA was successful in getting the GOTP to block legislation that would have required the CDC from providing such statistics.)

Just another BS study data was supplied by the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
From the article linked above
But Dr. Garen Wintemute, an emergency medicine physician and director of the Violence Prevention Research Program at the University of California, Davis, urged caution in interpreting the study in an accompanying editorial published in the journal. "Correlation does not imply causation," he wrote. "This fundamental limitation is beyond the power of the authors to redress."
He added that the list of laws takes no account of differences between states in the specifics of laws and takes no account of how hard states worked to enforce those laws.
The biggest difficulty, Wintemute continued, is that almost all of the associations between more laws and fewer deaths disappeared when the investigators took into account the prevalence of gun ownership in each state.
"This is a problem because there are two completely opposite explanations for why that might be the case," Wintemute said in a video issued by his university. "One is that these laws work, and that they work by decreasing the rate of gun ownership in a state, because we know that the rate of gun ownership is associated with the rate of violent death in a state.
KCFR this morning was refuting the claim the Gifford's husband was spouting about 40% of firearm sales were without background checks, but the poll was only 250 people, taken years ago, before states like Colorado passed their anti-gunshow loophole bill, and some of the respondents actually don't remember if they did have a background check.
