Channel 9 caught up with Fine in Tallahassee. Fine said the tweet was not a threat.
State Rep. Randy Fine of Brevard County tweeted the following message to the president: “Try to take our guns and you’ll learn why the second amendment was written in the first place.”
“I was pretty disgusted at the president politicizing last night and Democrats coming out saying ‘F’ Republicans, blaming Republicans for that,” Fine said.
