Trayvon Martin not an innocent kid! George Zimmerman not a racist!

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?

I'm saying Zimmerman specifically should not be allowed to carry a gun because he's already proven that he likes to put himself in harm's way and then shoot his way out when things get dangerous.  A can of pepperspray or a taser would have stopped the dude beating on him just fine without killing him.  

We've already established that Zimmerman was a shitty fighter and I doubt he's a great shot.  If someone is pointing a gun at him I'm sure he's fucked already which I mentioned before.  

So I guess what I'm saying is that people who want to play at police officer should not be carrying guns when they do so because they are untrained and more likely to do something tragic.
