The recent scandal I saw regarding threatening emails being sent to legislators over a gun ban indicated that they were NOT sent by the person claimed. That it was an attempt to smear the movement and then punish them in the press.
I would beleive it, it was definately a carefully orchetrated press effort to try to convey the idea of "thratening gun nuts", was your reference to mail sent in Maine? Can you give me a source or reference if it was?
