Cops: Letters to NYC mayor test positive for ricin

NEW YORK (AP) — Two threatening letters containing traces of the deadly poison ricin were sent to Mayor Michael Bloomberg in New York and his gun-control group in Washington, police said Wednesday.

The anonymous letters were opened in New York on Friday at the city's mail facility in Manhattan and in Washington on Sunday at an office used by Mayors Against Illegal Guns, the nonprofit started by Bloomberg, police said.

Chief New York Police spokesman Paul Browne said preliminary testing indicted the presence of ricin in both letters but that more testing would be done. He said the threats contained references to the debate on gun laws and an oily pinkish-orange substance.

Fascinating that one should resort to poisoning in order to stifle the debate on guns.

Poisoning is the preferred method of eliminating emperors and pharaohs,

And now it has become the preferred method of cowards.

Anyone else find it amusing that a gun advocate is poisoning people?

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Personally, I don't find attempted murder amusing. Hope they find the gun nuts responsible for this and lock them up.

Amusing, perhaps. Surprising; not in the least.

Yes ban guns. stop this kind of stuff. Wait it was poison.

That would be a legal impossibility, which makes the gun nuts even nuttier by trying to stifle debate.

Ironic they should cling so passionately to their 2nd amendment all the while dismissing the 1st amendment of others...

But then again, their actions indicate we are dealing with people of limited intellectual ability.
