That’s a great question.
This past April, authorities intercepted ricin-laced letters sent to Sen. Roger Wicker and President Obama. And this morning, media report that yet another letter sent to President Obama may be positive for ricin.

Domestic terrorist gun nut sends ricin letters to Obama and Bloomberg. Hope they find him and lock him away for good.

Gun freak sends a letter with ricin to President Obama…guns and religion. Blah.

Pathetic. Terrorism is terrorism. And Second Amendment supporters do not support it.
Anyone on the right who sends ricin letters, or even letters threatening people on the left DESERVE THE FULLEST JAIL TERM POSSIBLE.

Stop with the fucking ricin, assholes. You're endangering innocent people. That stuff in not a joke. C'mon already.

To the guy who mailed ricin: you are a coward and a criminal, and I hope justice will be done for your crimes.
