Congress Rep. Rick Nolan has been receiving threats from anonymous sources since he has expressed his “real gun country” views.
The gun safety advocate told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes today that his office is receiving threats telling him to “watch his back”.

He told Hayes:
“I have never, ever in all my life feared for my security, and I’m not fearful of it now. But I’m a little more [fearful] than I ever had been before. We’ve been getting a lot of not very thinly veiled threats and calls into my office. You know, things like, ‘you tell Nolan he better watch his back’”

Think Progress reports:
Nolan added that during his Congressional campaign, NRA Executive Vice President and CEO Wayne LaPierre, crisscrossed his district telling voters with hunting licenses that he “is going to take your guns away.”
Nolan also said that he’s never been nervous until now, and that he fears for himself as well as those around him.
