Torillian said: But to me this means that he shouldn't be playing cops and robbers with a gun. If he can't get out of a situation like that without someone winding up dead he either shouldn't have the gun or shouldn't be getting into the situation. Give the guy a tazer and he can get himself out of being beaten to death just fine and if he gets shot with a gun from far off he was probably fucked anyway. |
Sounds like you are saying that the Second Amendment should no longer be applicable in this modern day and age of multi-round magazines and quick-loading guns. Are you saying the right to keep and bear arms is too volatile/life-threatening in the 21st century, whereas tasers are acceptable, along the line of a slap on the wrist?
Are you saying that one should only be permitted to carry a taser and not a gun? Zimmerman chose to carry a gun and not a taser - and the jury agreed with his decision. Were they wrong in their judgment?
Is a criminal more likely to carry a gun or a taser? If someone points a gun at you, would you point your taser at them?
