Frank Sain's lawyer releases statement:

"We are deeply concerned about the government's retaliation against Mr. Sain for his protected First Amendment political speech. We appreciate Representative Rhonda Fields's service to our community; however, we remind you that Mr. Sain valiantly served his country as a decorated Iraqi war veteran. Representative Fields appears to be furthering her political agenda by trampling on Mr. Sain's constitutionally protected free speech in order to infringe on all Coloradans' Second Amendment rights."

Threatening someone's life is protected free speech? These are some really fucked-up dudes.

Every defendant is a fine upstanding citizen being mistakenly accused and malisciously prosecuted, according to their defense attorney.
