Something everyone can do-send a message to the Senate where there are two bills to make states with strong gun laws honor those of states like Florida by allowing concealed permits from those states. Just click on a couple of links, enter some info, and they will send the messages to your senators.
From the Brady Campaign To Prevent Gun Violence:

George Zimmerman, the killer of Trayvon Maritn, is the NRA's vision of America. The proposed George Zimmerman Armed Vigilante Acts (S. 2213 and S. 2188), would force virtually every state to allow Zimmerman, and dangerous people like him, to legally carry loaded and hidden handguns in our communities. Imagine that: "George Zimmermans" walking your streets. Armed and dangerous. That's the gun lobby's vision for America. But it's not ours.
If a state has strong laws that would prevent someone like Zimmerman — who had an arrest record and a violent past — from getting a concealed carry permit, tough luck.

These new bills would force states with strong gun laws like New York — where Zimmerman never could have gotten a permit — to honor the concealed carry permits of states with abhorrently low standards, such as Florida.

We stand with the American people in flatly rejecting the NRA's vision and replacing it with our own vision of an America where young people can go out to buy a pack of Skittles and can of tea in safety.

Which is complete bullshit to take away law-biding citizens rights to firearms because of this dipshit. I was wondering how long it would take for the antigun people to turn this tragedy as leverage for there cause.

Bullshit on this post. No one is taking away your right to have a gun. It would keep state gun laws as they are now.
 
Don't know if this is new news or not but apparently Trayvon Martin called 911 before he was shot and the Justice department is trying to enhance the audio of the call.http://tattletailzz.com/2012/03/investigators-are-reviewing-trayvon-martins-call-to-911/Really makes Zimmermans claim of being jumped even more bullshit.EDIT: Source is abc news.


Fucking DONE! I've am again stunned.

And +1 to cartoon_soldier. Arrest him, then!

And lol @ the white/Hispanic debate. You all know what the police report says, right?

Oh so what I read on their opposition to CC laws must be a misprint or maybe I'm reading it wrong? My states gun laws allows me to carry a concealed weapon.

Yep, you read it wrong. They don't want Florida's law to override New York's, which is the NRA's agenda that they're currently trying to push through Congress. Pretty simple, really.

And all the clowns who kept moving the goal posts to defend Zimmerman. Where do you go now?

This was some good ol' boy network shit, and once the audio is released confirming that Trayvon called 911. I fully expect corruption charges for Lee and those who "handled" the investigation. They had all this evidence from day one. DAY ONE, yet refused to make an arrest. A fucking box jellyfish could tell you that Stand Your Ground isn't applicable is this case.

Most of what they're talking about with the current CC laws is false at least in my state. I can't carry my gun on public transit, bars, stadiums, colleges etc. I'm sure Florida's law is pretty much the same so in what way would this effect NY? I also love these statements:

We should make it harder for convicted felons, the dangerously mentally ill, and others like them to get guns in the first place. We can do this by passing laws such as requiring Brady criminal background checks on all gun sales; banning military-style assault weapons; and strengthening law enforcement's efforts to stop the illegal gun market, like limiting the number of guns that can be bought at one time.



there are certain classes of weapons that should be out of bounds for private ownership. They include Saturday-night specials, which are used almost exclusively for crime, military-style assault weapons like Uzis and AK-47s, and .50-caliber sniper rifles, which serve no ordinary sporting purpose.

These happen to be my main beef with this group.

I've seen that bottom picture posted in a Fox comment a week ago and I thought it was already confirmed it isn't him. I really hope you just didn't post a fake picture of Trayvon and then claimed to be unbiased.

Any other sources?

That's why I posted is this old? I have no opinion to be honest, not emotionally vested either way. I find it tragic, and a shoddy investigation, but I'm taking a wait as see approach. I got the pic from mediaite.

The twitter link is stupid, what about the eyewitness testimony that's in the hands of the state AG? Everyone is ignoring this for some reason. Letting a narrative capture you and only believing evidence that comes in on your "side" is pretty silly.

Not only is Zimmerman a cold blooded murderer, he's a fucking punk that started a fight and got his ass kicked by a kid literally half his size. What a piece of shit.

That 2nd pic isn't even the right Trayvon Martin.

http://www.facebook.com/people/Trayvon-Martin/100001791912868 <-- That is NOT who we are talking about.

https://www.facebook.com/people/Trayvon-Slimm-Martin/1353307542<-- THIS is who we are talking about.

Classic case of "they all look alike"

EDIT: Put the right link now.

There are more than one who contradict that witness.

And if you listen to his calls on the night the person screaming had a higher pitched voice than Zimmerman.

And why does the picture matter, are you afraid of what you see?

I think there's a deeper meaning in that his confirmation bias is pretty visible. Trayvon obviously must have scared that poor white man with his Facebook photos.

The way he worded it, that is what it sounds like, but he clearly states that they won't be using the 'stand your ground' law as a defense.

because he never could in the first place which is what some of us have been telling the OMG ITS THE WILD WEST FLORIDA!!!!! alarmists all along.
 
Let's just say it's a case of mistaken identity, as they have the same name, and not try looking for a deeper meaning.

I just wanted to avoid another "Are you racist" tangent :p. I feel like focusing on race is just an opportunity for people to defend themselves/zimmerman unnecessarily - the facts are more important and substantial than whatever feelings or degree of feelings Zimmerman or other posters in this thread have toward black people.

Yeah, either that or a 'fake' profile. Strange that he doesn't have any other pics of himself as far as I can tell.

Zimmerman's racial views are clearly part of the facts. Sure, we could ignore the elephant in the room and the situation would still warrant an arrest for Zimmerman. That doesn't mean we should just stick our heads in the sand and pretend like everything is all good when we have good evidence of what factored into the killing of an innocent child.
 
Lol at this guys picture feed.

Is backbreaker65, Wayne Dupree?

Again, I got the pic from the comment section of mediaite. I'm just not overly sensitive and emotional about the case, but I'm like that about any case until all the info is in. Again I said its tragic and a shoddy investigation if any was done. I have a 19 year old son living in Los Angeles, California and he's as trendy as the come, hoodies and sagging with tattoos. And he'll be the first to tell you I'm fair but I'm firm and I don't believe one side of the story. I just gather information before speaking on it.

Saw this on Young Turks last night. Enjoy.

Summary: Trayvon was in the wrong for choosing to defend himself when he should have ran, while Zimmerman had the right to defend himself despite being the instigator.

So he was at fault for defending himself, against a stalker...............

Lets Go GAF Defense force prove this man right!
