Here's a grand irony of this Zimmerman/Trayvon case:
Dems are claiming that this case shows we need more gun laws and to repeal Stand your Ground laws.
But the logic behind gun control laws is that we shouldnt defend ourselves (unless you are a politician with armed guards or police protection) and instead flee or submit and then trust the justice system to iron it out.
But the Trayvon mob are arguing that this case shows that we CANT trust the criminal courts for justice. , that juries will let the bad guys off
“...Dems are claiming that this case shows we need more gun laws and to repeal Stand your Ground laws....”
If it wasn’t this case, it would be the next one, or the one after, etc.
Good luck with it. Once you teach someone how to use a firearm properly and protect themselves, and once you give them the enlightenment that comes with that knowledge - that they and they alone are responsible for their own immediate safety - that genie is out of the bottle. You’ll NEVER get the gun out of the hand of someone who understands that basic concept - Nobody is going to protect me but ME.
That’s why I teach as many people as possible. It’s very satisfying to watch the light bulb come on in students as fear and indoctrination gets replaced with knowledge, self-empowerment, and education.
And it’s also satisfying to note that every one we train is one less that the other side has.
I call it...”Giving Something Back”...or “Making A Difference”...
