33. Several groups that are anti-reform have urged their members to bring guns to these meetings.
That is something that Code Pink never did (and I am not a supporter of Code Pink's tactics). Constituents called their congress people and told them they are afraid to attend, which is the intent of these actions.

Now, it's true that they haven't done this *at* the meetings, so you are correct there. Instead they have made their death threats before the meetings and ramped up talk of violence before the meetings to 1.) scare congress people 2.) scare supporters. Then, at the meetings, they shout down the speaker so that they cannot answer questions or be heard.

Those tactics are NOT American. Not when we do it, not when they do it.
