Lawmakers Threatened For Their Opposition To Guns In Parks

By Kleinheider Posted on September 17, 2009 at 8:06 am

Knox County Commissioner Amy Broyles and Knoxville City Councilwoman Barbara Pelot say they have received “ugly” and “threatening” anonymous e-mail messages from people who oppose their support of a ban on weapons in county and city parks.

Broyles said she has received 15 anonymous e-mail messages, including one that said, “Who do you think you are anyway? The next rape, the next robbery, the next murder on a bike trail is going to hang around your pretty little neck, my dear. Trust me.”
