Keep in mind that Chris Murphy's home Congressional district (before he replaced that shit bag Joe Lieberman in the Senate) includes Sandy Hook. The man has been very used to death threats because of his prominence in a post-Sandy Hook world, so for him to be shaken so severely has given a lot of us pause.
