So, by your definition, if Zimmerman called Travyon a "black ass nigga" then called him a "cracker" it would cancel out the racism.

In the world of Ghetto slang. Nigga does not mean the same thing as Nigger.
And honestly I've never heard a black man call what he thinks is a white dude "Nigga"

So Martin called Zimmermen a "white ass cracker" And also a "Nigga"?
Seems odd...

Cracker should now be referred to as the "C-word"

The 'gun show' loopholes you mention... are really the 'private sales' 'loophole'.

Any person or business that routinely sells firearms must be a federally licensed dealer (aka FFL) and has certain paperwork requirements (ATF form 4473) which involve background checks of the buyer. Even at a gun show an FFL is still required to have the buyer fill out the 4473 and have it called into the NICS for a background check.

A person who is not in the business of routinely selling firearms is free to go to the gun show and sell their arms with a handshake if they like (depending on state laws). The same also goes for any transaction they might conduct in their living room, a parking lot or virtually anywhere else within the state that both are a resident of.

To call it the 'gun show' loophole once again demonstrates your ignorance of the issue as it applies to *all* private sales. Of course your ignorance is shown doubly so when you say 'gun show loopholes' (plural). I'm very familiar with the laws regarding firearms at the state & federal level... and would love to hear what other loopholes you think exist at gun shows other than the lack of a background check for private sales (which still does not absolve the seller of liability).

Hey, not trying to start a flamewar. I know where you're going with that and while I recognize all slurs are bad, they don't all carry with them the same force. To me it's not an arbitrary thing that people are hesitant to say the n word even when quoting someone.

it was in the court transcripts that martin used both the c-word and a variation of the n word to describe zimmerman stalking him.

but martin used the word nigga and not the actual n-word which is a form of that word

Trust me Trish, time and again we see that slippery slope happening.

For instance, Diane confessed to an outright ban herself, stating that if she could get 51% vote she would ban every gun in America (except the ones used by the body guards protecting her family of course)

I bet you there will be no mass shooting happening in that place since the weirdos and criminals know they can be stopped and killed by CCW armed law-abiding citizens.

gun enthusiast or not, I hope that you know that the 2nd amendment has nothing to do with hunting.

O Trish! for a minute there I thought you were salaciously thinking about my hard meat during the act of deflowering the deflowerable.

Yet that right should never be trampled upon by any entity: Foreign or domestic.
