Bloomberg remained unperturbed by the letter. Ricin letter focuses on guns, threats

New details of the ricin-laced letter to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg were reported Thursday, including its strongly worded message around guns.

“You will have to kill me and my family before you get my guns,” the letter stated, according to MSNBC’s Chris Jansing. ”Anyone [who] wants to come to my house will get shot in the face. The right to bear arms is my constitutional, God-given right and I will exercise that right till the day I die. What’s in this letter is nothing compared to what I’ve got planned for you.”


On Wednesday reports broke that Bloomberg and his anti-gun violence group Mayors Against Illegal Guns had received anonymous letters containing the substance.
