House Republican Says Her Office Received ‘Very Serious Shooting Threat’

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) said on Wednesday her office received a “very serious shooting threat,” an announcement that came after a second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at his golf club in Florida over the weekend.

“My office has received a very serious shooting threat,” Luna said in a post to her personal account on X. “This division and hate campaign against Republicans is going to get someone killed. I will not be threatened, intimidated, or bow down to those using violence as a means to push their agenda. We will win.”

Luna added, “America is the greatest country in the world. I will continue to fight for the wonderful people who have elected me as well as those across the country that feel that they are being left behind. Please keep my family in your prayers. Hate has no place here.”

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) responded to Luna, saying, “We are right there with you. It’s OUT OF CONTROL.” Social media influencer Rogan O’Handley, better known as “DC Draino,” said the shooting threat “just days after” Trump nearly got assassinated was “unacceptable.” He added, “They’re trying to kill anyone who actually gives a damn about saving this country.”

Luna, an Air Force veteran who was first elected to Congress in 2022 with Trump’s endorsement, is running for re-election to continue representing Florida’s 13th Congressional District for another two-year term. She is poised to face off against Democrat challenger Whitney Fox in the November election.

With her congressional account on X, Luna criticized Vice President Kamala Harris and the Left for making inflammatory statements directed at Trump and other Republicans. Harris, the Democratic Party’s 2024 presidential nominee, and others have faced increased scrutiny for describing Trump as being a danger to freedoms and democracy in light of the multiple threats to the former president’s life.

“The continued rhetoric by Kamala Harris and the radical left about President Trump and Republicans being a ‘threat’ has to STOP,” Luna said. “The fact that it continues even after the first (crazy that we have to say first) attempt on his life is disgusting.”

‘Thoughtcrimes Are For 1984 – Not 2024’: UK Bans ‘Influencing’ Within 150 Meters Of Abortion Clinics

In a move designed to keep pro-life activists from influencing women about having an abortion, Great Britain’s UK Home Office announced it would enforce a ban on “influencing” anyone within 150 meters of an abortion facility.

The Home Office stated on Tuesday that anyone breaking the law would face an unlimited fine. The Home Office stated, “Safe access buffer zones will make it illegal for anyone to do anything that intentionally or recklessly influences someone’s decision to use abortion services, obstructs them, or causes harassment or distress to someone using or working at these premises. The law will apply within a 150 metre radius of the abortion service provider.” 

“Good law should be clear, consistent and predictable but the buffer zones legislation set to be enacted is vague and broadly drafted,” Jeremiah Igunnubole, Legal Counsel for ADF UK stated. “By banning ‘influencing’ – a broad and sweeping term – over an area stretching 300m in diameter, the law is wide open to misinterpretation and abuse. In the places where ‘buffer zones’ already exist under local authorities, we have already seen three individuals prosecuted over the past two years, simply for praying silently in the privacy of their own minds.”

“Engaging in silent prayer, or consensual conversation, are peaceful acts protected by human rights law,” he continued. “And whilst the government has heeded calls to refrain from naming these acts as criminal offences, the threshold for criminality remains intolerably unclear. It is now incumbent on the CPS and the College of Policing to provide guidance that reflects existing protections for freedom of thought and speech –  keeping the UK in line with international legal standards. Thoughtcrimes are for 1984 – not 2024.”

Army veteran Adam Smith-Connor, who has been criminally charged for praying silently for three minutes near an abortion facility in Bournemouth, stated:

Nobody should be prosecuted for silent prayer. It is unfathomable that in an apparently free society, I am being criminally charged on the basis of my silent thoughts, in the privacy of my own mind. It’s not different than being tried for a thoughtcrime. I served for 20 years in the army reserves, including a tour in Afghanistan, to protect the fundamental freedoms that this country is built upon. I continue that spirit of service as a health care professional and church volunteer. It troubles me greatly to see our freedoms eroded to the extent that thoughtcrimes are now being prosecuted in the UK.
