Please. This case has more to do with armed citizens than Race even though the media and politicians are doing a great job of making you think otherwise. Playing the public like puppets.[/quote]
I think it should be about carry permits, but this really isn’t about that, although you keep repeating that it is.
Also, laws are for the law abiding. If you take the guns from the folks who can own and carry them legally, do you really think criminals will not use them? That the criminals who are law breakers in the first place are going to think “uh oh… I better not use a gun on my B&E or rape?”
really?
Again
Laws are for the law abiding. I say make ammunition more expensive and if you use a gun during the act of a criminal activity, let the sentence reflect that
.
Do not punish law abiding folks for criminals.[/quote]
What?? Are you even talking about this case?[/quote]
absolutely I am.
But I am also talking about ramifications from the case. Just to put it out there, I thought he should have been charged with manslaughter. Not murder. I just don’t know what the prosecution is thinking. I guess they are going with the since he had a weapon then his intent was to kill.
I should have couched my earlier message better. I do not think Trayvon should have been killed. That isn’t even a question for me.
But, this isn’t a weapons issue now, at least not in the public. [/quote]
The public has been told what to think on both sides from the beginning by either someone in office or the media. And once this trial ends you may see some grumblings helll maybe a store break in or two ( with dumb asses claiming it was for trayvon). But what really will be driven by this is a bill maybe even in Trayvons name to stop “GUN” violence. Race is only the selling point to get the uninterested involved. [/quote]
aaahhh holey moley. There you go with gun regulation. Would you tell me what you mean by that. So you know, I grew up on a marine corps base
. Weapons are every day.
But will you please consider that laws are for the law abiding. The bad folks with the guns already DO NOT CARE.
Please let me know what you think about my consideration that acts of gun violence should face longer time. You use a gun, you pay for it.
Also, just economics, make ammunition expensive.
And really, there has never actually been a race war thank goodness. My Dad is from Watts and a Marine. When they had the riots he was dropped off 3 blocks from his house.
