They werent making a huge issue about gun control until Sandy Hook came up, and lets face it these weren't Black kids that were shot.
Black youth have been getting murdered in the streets for decades, and few people even give a crap, but when its White kids being shot up in school then that is what tilts the political issue of them pursuing gun control.
Its not just the inner city that needs to be disarmed, but also the Elmer fuds out there like Zimmerman, prowling around like a vulture just to harass a young black kid who was tired of being mistreated. Cant even take his whooping like a man, and has to pull out a gun to shoot a teenager. What a coward.
Well a couple of things here. First off gun control will not stop the negroes from killing each other because most of the murders committed by negroes, against whites and other negroes, are done with ILLEGALLY obtained firearms so no amount of "gun control" will stop this from happening. We have had a 100% ban on the possession, manufacture of, import of and transport of, heroin and cocaine for over 50yrs, yet both are readily and easily available to the criminal element in our society in EVERY town, city and suburb in our nation. So to think even a 100% ban on firearms will in any way lower the rates of black kids being killed, or people in general being killed by them, is a fallacy and a hope based on stupdity. As for Zimmerman, yeah, I agree in part, take your whooping like a man, but you must also take into account that the number of young black males that don't stop at just whooping your ass, but go all the way and murder your ass, to understand why a personwould be thinking it's not an ass whipping they face, but them being murdered they face and well the statistics are on the side of the latter so you can understand them thinking they're fighting for their life and need to resort to any and all means to protect themselves. Since no one else has the courage to say this, I will. One out of three black males in this nation have been at one time or another in their lives under some sort of court ordered supervision, meaning jail, prison, parole, probation or house arrest so the chances of you coming across a black man that's a criminal is pretty good. Not to mention these truths; Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery. When blacks commit crimes of violence, they are nearly three times more likely than non-blacks to use a gun, and more than twice as likely to use a knife. Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent. Blacks commit more violent crime against whites than against blacks. Forty-five percent of their victims are white, 43 percent are black, and 10 percent are Hispanic. When whites commit violent crime, only three percent of their victims are black. Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery. Blacks are 2.25 times more likely to commit officially-designated hate crimes against whites than vice versa.
With these facts in hand it's not surprising that Zimmerman didn't just "take his whooping like a man" and used his firearm to protect himself, the odds were on his side that it was more than an ass whooping he was getting.
