Zimmerman to get his gun back

Last edited Mon Jul 15, 2013, 06:33 AM - Edit history (1)

George Zimmerman will get his gun back now that he has been cleared of murder and his lawyer said today that Zimmerman needs the weapon "even more" than before.

Zimmerman's lawyer Mark O'Mara also practically dared the family of Trayvon Martin to file a widely expected civil suit against him, but said that Zimmerman might be filing lawsuits of his own.

O'Mara, in an exclusive interview with ABC News, suggested that Zimmerman has no regrets about carrying a gun on Feb. 26, 2012, the night he killed Martin, a teenager.

Zimmerman also counseled by certain right wing hate sites to sell his gun at an auction and use the proceeds to purchase an even bigger arsenal

I think Zimmy will make more money if he keeps it. He can do the NRA speaking circuit and let people look at it (no touching though!), while he tells his story of self-defense.

Lord - people collect naval lint if the original owner was on the news. There would be a bidding war over the gun that legally killed the unarmed "black teenager" and that would just be on Stormfront before the auction opened.

They'll say something like they are good hunting weapons, but they don't hunt (at least animals).

He needs to be permanently revoked from owning anything larger than a popsicle stick.

But he was found not guilty by a court of law and a jury of his peers.

He has every right to get his firearm back.

I started out at ABC news, but didn't post that link as I thought everyone knew about it.

After googling to see who else had it I ran across the other link

The link was only meant to show the advice the "Z" man was getting from the crazies to sell his murder weapon at open auction and use the thousands he would get to buy an ever larger arsenal with 32 round clips etc etc I have now corrected it.

The last thing we should be interested in is driving traffic to that cesspit.

Then FR won't gain any unnecessary piggy-back hits off DU members.

And it's all the more reason we shouldn't help drive up their traffic levels. Let them die a slow, unnoticed death I say.
