Town hall disruptions around the country have led to some outbreaks of
violence. Unions participating in town halls have received death threats. At
an event held by Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) last week, the threat of
violence led her aides to call the police after one attendee dropped a gun.

"Yelling and screaming is counterproductive," she told the Sierra Vista
Herald at a Congress on Your Corner event last week. There, one visitor
dropped a gun at the meet n' greet held in a Douglas Safeway, her staff
says.

That has aides, who called police to the event, concerned for her safety.
"We have never felt the need before to notify law enforcement when we hold
these events," said spokesman C.J. Karamargin.


One of the callers to the Service Employees International Union said, "I
suggest you tell your people to calm down, act like American citizens, and
stop trying to repress people's First Amendment rights... That, or you all
are gonna come up against the Second Amendment."
