Ayup. Callisto32 Mar 2012 #53
Probably because that's where the vast majority of the shootings are DonP Mar 2012 #8
He's an anti on a poutrage. His seeming ignorance of the violence problem shadowrider Mar 2012 #12
A National Stand Your Ground Law and lots and lots of armed vigilantes would clear up that "problem" jpak Mar 2012 #29
And nearly all of the illegal guns used come from "law abiding gun owners" baldguy Mar 2012 #15
Yeah, we need more laws banning guns here. DonP Mar 2012 #19
So unless you are involved in that scene, not much need to tote -- Is there? Hoyt Apr 2012 #65
This coming from the person that is ALWAYS making bigoted and disparaging remarks rl6214 Mar 2012 #22

Here you go.... PavePusher Mar 2012 #43
If national reciprocity is the real issue... discntnt_irny_srcsm Mar 2012 #3
Nope jpak Mar 2012 #4

With a $10k bounty (Dead or Alive) on his head shadowrider Mar 2012 #18
I would've thought you'd support vigilante justice for a murderer allowed to walk around free. baldguy Mar 2012 #20
Murder. You have proof he intended to kill someone that night shadowrider Mar 2012 #23
What a stupid comment rl6214 Mar 2012 #24
It's purely meant to inflame since he can't deny the bounty on Zimmermans head. shadowrider Mar 2012 #25
enough of the regional bigotry gejohnston Mar 2012 #31
The only people pushing "vigilante justice" (oxymoron, much?) seem to be.... PavePusher Mar 2012 #44
What are the insane "Stand Your Ground" laws other than vigilantism encoded into law? baldguy Mar 2012 #55
Nice try at shifting goal posts. PavePusher Mar 2012 #56
Of course nobody will come right out and say "Zimmerman was a hero." baldguy Mar 2012 #63
Zimmerman was in the wrong from the moment he left his vehicle. krispos42 Apr 2012 #72
Cites, please. n/t PavePusher Apr 2012 #77
Zimmerman was not a hero. However, Zimmerman does not make all self-defense vigilantism. Atypical Liberal Apr 2012 #91
Self-defense. krispos42 Apr 2012 #71
Do you? oneshooter Apr 2012 #64
Feel free to go protect him Starboard Tack Mar 2012 #38
I'm not protecting anyone. He has NOT been convicted of anything that would shadowrider Mar 2012 #40
So drunk drivers should be able to keep driving until convicted? Starboard Tack Mar 2012 #60
You mean they don't gejohnston Mar 2012 #61
Not after drying out. After being stopped Starboard Tack Mar 2012 #62
You've been defending him since this story first broke. He should have lost his right to carry Hoyt Apr 2012 #68
If you are going to make the accusation, ManiacJoe Apr 2012 #69
Simple, if someone wakes up everyday and sticks a gun down their pants to defend themselves, they Hoyt Apr 2012 #74
Ok, let me see if I've got this straight. discntnt_irny_srcsm Apr 2012 #76
I'm not defending anyone but would prefer all the facts come out shadowrider Apr 2012 #70
Yea, maybe if we wait for all the facts, it will blow over and NRA and pro-gun crowd can get back Hoyt Apr 2012 #73
Argh! discntnt_irny_srcsm Apr 2012 #75
As it should be. It is evidence in a homicide case. Starboard Tack Mar 2012 #37
Again, he hasn't been convicted of anything. He has a $10k bounty on his head shadowrider Mar 2012 #39
There are organizations through which right wing gun supporters will contribute to Zim's defense. Hoyt Apr 2012 #66
If he were charged, it would be suspended. Once convicted, revoked. X_Digger Apr 2012 #80
Unfortunately, politicians usually make that call Starboard Tack Apr 2012 #81
Care to actually answer? X_Digger Apr 2012 #82
Sorry to upset you, but it's not my call Starboard Tack Apr 2012 #83
That'd clog up the courts for years. X_Digger Apr 2012 #84
I think you need to study up on how the system works. Starboard Tack Apr 2012 #85
No, I think you do. google 'prosecutorial discretion'. n/t X_Digger Apr 2012 #86
I don't need to Google it. Starboard Tack Apr 2012 #87
It doesn't work that way in Florida- not for manslaughter or murder. X_Digger Apr 2012 #88
OK I guess we are both right and wrong. Starboard Tack Apr 2012 #89
That's my point. X_Digger Apr 2012 #90
Not the issue here. n/t discntnt_irny_srcsm Mar 2012 #16
If you have a Florida CCW permit Old Codger Mar 2012 #28
