How magnanimous of you to turn a tragedy into yet another gun control argument. In some cases a gun really is an answer, deterrent, solution. In others, not so much.

Oh, is this just a drive-by troll, or do you have something useful to add?

I am a gun owner myself and this incident disgusts me.Too bad this Zimmerman did not try this on me because he'd have been facing a gun.
Interesting dance. On one hand you take people to task for insisting that more guns are the answer (when, as August pointed out, no one in this thread has done that), but on the other hand you say that you wish he had tried it on you because you have a gun. So, more gun ownership is not the answer but you having one is?
