The George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin Travesty

[maddygirl]

Only thing I can add is I think we can all agree that it's sad someone as young as Travyon was killed. 17 years old and dead. I don't blame his parents for being angry, and I don't blame Zimmerman either. I can't because I wasn't there.

I already mentioned gun show loopholes. Close 'em.

It is obvious from your previous comments that you want more gun restrictions. The problem is that once the GOV starts nipping at people's rights, there is no stopping them. One by one they will take them all. Though you may confess to being a gun enthusiast (due to your hunting past) but statements like: "A gun in your home is more likely to be involved in an accidental shooting or used by family member to commit suicide than actually employed in protecting the family." lean more towards gun control and complete firearm ownership banning than towards a more regulated right.

I hope some one kills Zimmerboy

I commend your honesty in admitting that writing it in plain English too.

I'll blame Zimmerman for you then...and I wasn't there either.

Oh the ol' slippery slope argument. That's a hoary, if fallacious one. Let the government deny you the right to carry nitroglycerin and next they won't let you have a water pistol. Give me a break. Oh wait, the Texas legislature allows you to carry firearms into their chambers, but not water guns, water balloons, or overripe fruit. How fucked up is that?

Though you may confess to being a gun enthusiast (due to your hunting past)

I didn't confess anything. I volunteered that I was hunter; that's not the same thing as a gun enthusiast. Enthusiasm over a hard, steel rolled barrel that shoots projectiles into soft pliant flesh is something you may or may not experience. I certainly don't.

but statements like: "A gun in your home is more likely to be involved in an accidental shooting or used by family member to commit suicide than actually employed in protecting the family." lean more towards gun control and complete firearm ownership banning than towards a more regulated right.

It's a statement of fact. If the only solution you can see is banning guns, then maybe you're on the wrong side of the argument. I'm merely suggesting that even though it's your right to keep a firearm at home, it nevertheless increases your family's risk of injury and death.

I don't know why people are pissed the Hispanic got off. The white guy wasn't on trial. The Hispanic got off with all white women the jury. What's the problem? If it was old white guys on the jury, then sure.

Go ahead, you can, doesn't mean you're right or know the situation first hand. If it was life or death and he shot him I don't blame him..
