I hear the NRA membership has exploded...
Totally the NRA and let's no forget how they were attempting to ram the SYG laws on states that wanted no part of it.

oh, please.

SYG and other gun laws are state influenced. You can absolutely rest assured gun laws in my state won't be even remotely affected. In fact, my state recently went from concealed carry to open carry.

If you didn't notice black 'leaders' igniting the fire, you might be blind. Or something...

So what was Trayvon holding while he was "slamming" his head? Obviously he had to use both hands. Honestly, I am trying to picture this. For someone to slam a head on the ground, he would need to use both hands, that is, unless that person had a lot of hair to grab. Am I missing something? So Trayvon the magician was slamming his head, covering his mouth and nose, punching him, and going for his gun at the same time.

You're right. Low IQ and mental incompetence might be his best defense.
and don't forget that Zimmerman was yelling for help with the mouth and nose covered!

Maybe just shoot ur d off off you have one.
My belief that he'll be convicted has nothing to do with the evidence, law, or what really happened. Politics, social pressure will trump everything else. If I'm wrong and you're right, so what, I'll read O'Mara's book either way.

Exactly! I would think that each and everyone on this forum would want the same thing if it was their child.

We don't know that. Perhaps he was protecting himself.

Good luck my dear AMERICAN friends and I hope you all get to keep your toys. Some how the idea of the right to bear arms has turned into the love of an object- a toy....I like guns too..they are fun...but not that important. All of your toys should be under lock and key and no person should be allowed to take the gun out of the house unless your dad is with you....You folks need supervision, Apparently AMERICA for all there history of personal weaponry are not mature enough to have guns...strange but true...It's as if you never got any further along than the old DAISY BB gun- which I believe you should all return too.
