By the way, I didn't comment on this display of dishonesty.

You didn't juxtapose photos accurately depicting the 6-foot-2-inches athletic adult Treyvon Martin against 5-foot-seven-inches George Zimmerman so that people could render a fair assessment. You juxtaposed only busts of Zimmerman (how tall is he?) and of a childhood photo of Treyvon Martin for distracting and misguided emotional appeal. That is despicable.

It's exactly what Reuters would do.

You keep dodging my question here.

Should everyone, Mr. Martin included, be walking around with a gun.

Then the show down between Martin and Zimmerman would have been fair right? A good old shoot out.

Still not going to answer?

Quite right. The nuclear power station suffered catastrophic destruction of several reactors, most notably reactor No. 2. The station itself suffered total power failure. The only casualties were from the tidal wave itself, none were caused by the failure of the reactors.

An no release of nuclear material, other then underwater from reactor No. 2, and that was minimal. The bulk of that fuel is fused into a solid mass entangled among twisted wreckage of the reactor. Only specially built robots can get into there, and carefully, due to the amount of high speed neutrons still emanating from the wreck.

They are slowly cleaning it up.

Meanwhile, Japan has returned to a normal life. They still go to work, fish off the waters of Japan, and everything. They picked up the pieces and rebuilt.

Aaaahhh, the all-too-predictable gun-craven conflation.

Whether someone keeps and bears arms is entirely up to each individual, but everyone has the RIGHT to do so. A rational person would have worded your question "Should everyone, Mr. Martin included, have the RIGHT to walk around with a gun." The answer is "Yes." However you asked if all individuals should be walking around with guns whether or not they want to be walking around with guns. It is not the case that everyone should be walking around in clown suits and makeup and big red-ball noses whether they want to or not, but everyone should have the RIGHT to walk around in full clown get-up.

You're conveniently skipping over the actual context of the situation.

Mr. Martin, being a 17yo boy, was old enough to get shot in the chest but DID NOT have the right to carry a gun. He actually WANTED a gun we later learned.

So dodge all you like but you have yet to answer:
Do you, IBD, think Mr. Martin should have been carrying a gun. Your advise to his father would have been what?
Do you, IBD, think Mr. Martin should have had the right to carry a hand gun, concealed in public, as was Mr. Zimmerman's, at 17. I'm assuming that's a yes? Then how about when Mr. Martin was 10 years old?

Seem like a wild question? Not having regulations of any kind is a wild policy for a lethal weapon.

Still in this topic like an elephant in the room is your apparent belief that any citizen can pull a gun on the police when they attempt to act on a search warrant and simply refuse because they don't wanna.

That the government can't have any authority at all but a nut like Zimmerman can play Judge Dredd really calls into question your objectivity on a government policy for anything, be it Covid-19 or managing the environment.

Maybe you're just an anarchist IBD?

And no that does not mean you politely knock and wait for the suspect to read the warrant and then agree to let you in.

4th amendment:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Guess what.
"probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation," and we're done.

Wilson v. Arkansas,182 the Court determined that the common law "knock and announce" rule is an element of the Fourth Amendment reasonableness inquiry. The rule is merely a presumption, however, that yields under various circumstances, including those posing a threat of physical violence to officers,

Treyvon was the criminal. He was the thug who would have otherwise been tried as an adult for felony assault if not murder 2. George Zimmerman was the small, chubby, weak victim upon whom Treyvon preyed and probably would have killed if he had been allowed to continually bash Zimmerman's head into the concrete until the munchies became unbearable, forcing him to stop and eat his Skittles.

When robbers who are thwarted in their attempts to knock off a liquor store or a pawn shop and who later wish they had had a gun so that they would not have been thwarted, we don't typically bash on the thwarting proprietor for having had the means to successfully thwart the crime and we don't typically feel sympathetic for the criminal ...

... except you do. That's despicable.

Why do you lobby for violent criminals to terrorize society with impunity?

Answer me this straightforward question: Should children be allowed to play little league baseball? Should they be allowed to have a bat at home with which to practice, that was purchased without any ID or any background check?

Of course, all lethal weapons have their differing characteristics, but you acknowledge that baseball bats are lethal weapons, yes?

I think we're done on this topic, unless you really want to continue. I will be elated to oblige if you do.

George Zimmerman has been a victim, of his own stupidity, his whole life. He desperately needed to prove he wasn't a 'loser'. If he was in fear for his life, and needed to care a firearm, he should be messing with people. As Neighborhood Watch, the police would have made it perfectly clear, he was only to observe and report, not interact, and never carry a firearm. The police teach those guidelines, to avoid the exact situation Zimmerman created. He ignored everything he was taught. He knew better, was well informed. It wasn't ignorance. Trayvon hadn't committed a crime, or was likely to commit a crime, until Zimmerman interacted.

Harvey, you're a straight shooter ... but you have three egregious errors in this statement above.

Please indulge me explaining my point of view.

If I were looking out for my neighborhood (which is totally legal) and I were to see some punk surveying a house in a suspicious manner, I would report it (also totally legal). If, after having called for the police to arrive, I were to fear that said individual might get away, I might very well follow the suspect to ensure the police question him (also completely legal). I have given up trying to undertand why there was such a rush to malign Zimmerman for doing exactly what I have described above (which is a noble thing to do) while working double-time to pull the lamest excuses out of their asses to defend Treyvon's obvious plan to break-and-enter. People like you keep reiterating how "Treyvon Martin MIGHT have had business at that house he was surveilling ... BUT HE DIDN'T. We can look back and verify that yes, he was planning on robbing that place. So please explain why you support that, and why you continue to malign Zimmerman for trying to prevent it. Hindsight is 20/20. We don't have to second-guess Zimmerman. We can confirm that he was correct. He was in the right. Why continue to bash him? Do we have an agenda here?

The police might have done many things, in the subjunctive ... but Zimmerman spoke to 9-1-1 operators who are supposed to do their job and report. They do not issue instructions. They can issue general context-free advice and recommendations but they they are not experts in anything and they are not knoweldgeable in the myriad of specifics unique to each case. They are simply voices at the other end of the phone whose job is to relay the caller's instructions to the proper responders.

Also, there is no such thing as Zimmerman "should not have carried a gun." Simply put, yes he should have. 2nd Amendment. Enough said.

HarveyH55 wrote: The police teach those guidelines, to avoid the exact situation Zimmerman created.

The police are not any authority that "teaches" that there is no 2nd Amendment. That is just silly.

Treyvon Martin created the situation, not Zimmerman. Martin was caught surveilling a house to rob it and he visciously attacked a guy who was simply following him. Harvey, you are dead wrong on this. Treyvon Martin caused it and he got what he deserved. For the life of me I cannot figure out why you malign someone for trying to stay alive after being jumped. I just don't get it.

HarveyH55 wrote: Trayvon hadn't committed a crime, or was likely to commit a crime, until Zimmerman interacted.

Zimmerman hadn't committed any crime. You are treating him as though he had committed a terrible crime ... of trying to protect his neighborhood. Tryvon Martin was simply PLANNING to commit a crime ... one that Zimmerman aimed to prevent. Did I mention that Zimmerman didn't commit any crime. Are you aware that unless there is a restraining order, it is perfectly legal to follow someone? Perfectly legal.

Teyvon Martin DID commit a crime, a violent one, when he attacked Zimmerman with intent to kill (apparent).

Treyvon Martin is the only bad guy in this equation. Yes, Zimmerman might very well have been an ashsole. Does that make Zimmerman guilty of crimes and excuse Treyvon Martin of possibly attempted murder? It seems like you think it does.

Look, my point is that this whole situtation was so completely one-sided, i.e Treyvon Martin was the viscious criminal and Zimmerman was just FOLLOWING Martin to ensure he was questioned by authorities, and yet so many people are misplacing blame, i.e. maligning Zimmerman and treating Treyvon like a martyr. It's mind boggling.

Every townhouse in that gated community, was almost exactly the same, The HOA keeps the exterior very consistent, the landscaping, everything throughout the community. Even Zimmerman had to get out of his truck to check the street sign, while talking to 911. He lived there for a couple years, patrolled daily, and still didn't know.

But it's not okay for Trayvon to look at townhouses, trying to figure out where he was? That's what Zimmerman called into 911, a black man on a sidewalk, looked at a building. George wasn't following at a discreet distance. He even stated on the 911 call, that Trayvon had spotted him following. He wasn't observing at that point, but actively pursuing. Again, his Neighborhood Watch training is ignored. Looking at a building, is not a crime.

Of course bats should be legal. I don't think a bat is equivalent with a gun do you? If you do I guess you don't need gun rights since you can just have bat rights.

This is the stupid NRA logic warmed over: If they didn't have a gun they'd kill with something else!

Except they wouldn't .

Paddock killed 58 people and wounded 413 in Vegas firing just over a 1000 rounds in just 10 minutes because of the guns the NRA had fought to keep legal.

From the public sidewalk? Even Zimmerman made no statement about Trayvon leaving the side walk, until after had gotten out of the truck. He witness no crime being committed, nor saw anything to make him suspect there had been a crime (no vandalism, broken car windows, white women screaming hysterically). Had there been an actual crime, to prompt George's initial 911 call, with good reason to believe Trayvon was involved. I wouldn't care so much about the outcome.

You are right on all aspects. With the recent killing, it seems to be more 2 racist individuals than anything else. But as gasguzler would say, the pop and his son felt threatened by a jogger. Like if someone liked killing Norwegians like what happened to Christopher Bergan. His father in law did nothing wrong by killing him. Someone knocked on pops door and pops shot him.
Kind of like that Norwegian jet stream that gas guzzler talks about. Someone bothers us, we deal with it. Problem solved.

Has it ever occured to you Zimmerman could have used a taser?


He could have used a gun too. He is allowed to have either weapon or both. Tasers are pretty useless when you are on the ground and being attacked.

Actually, looking at a building can be a crime. It's called 'trespass'.


From the public sidewalk?

Yes. From the public sidewalk. Peering in windows, watching the place for activity (so-called 'casing the joint') is in and of itself a crime of trespass in some jurisdictions.

In the end it was irrelevant. The jury acquitted him of the crime of murder and ruled it was justifiable homicide (self defense). His trial is done. It's over. We don't get to judge him again for the same event.

What prompted him to call 911 or how many times he calls 911 is irrelevant.

Sorry, I already addressed the unique differences all lethal weapons have. The reason you are fine with everyone, including ten-year-olds, owning lethal weapons of all kinds willy-nilly without background checks as long as those lethal weapons are not guns is because you are a gun craven, i.e. the problem is with you, not with that particular inanimate object.

That is so worth repeating. The problem is with YOU.

Sociopaths like you will lock themselves in an eternal death-struggle to ban the object of their psychosis ... and if they should somehow become successful in getting it banned, they shift the objects of psychosis to something else and labor tirelessly to get THAT banned. You can never be forthwith reasoned because your issue is a mental problem, not some concern for anyone's safety. If you were actually concerned about people's safety you would be encouraging them to get armed and to get trained.

Did I mention that the problem is on your end?

Guns are very effective at killing people both when it's intended and on accident.
Number of toddlers to accidentally kill themselves with baseball bats each year:
With guns: ~70

USA #1

Now I know, you're going to point to all the cricket bat deaths in the UK and some other stats on those other "lethal weapons" but good luck finding any "valid data sets" to support that buddy.

Saw this graphic. Weird, isn't California like a MUCH bigger state than North Carolina? Must be some blue state magic going on here:

I sure somewhere at sometime there was a baseball bat mishap but I would think fingers and toes more than internal organs would be damaged in those.

So are baseball bats. You're doing it again. You are wasting time. I have already adressed the point of differing lethal weapons having differing characteristics and you continuing to argue that differing lethal weapons however have differing characteristics.

We agree. Move on.

tmiddles wrote: Now I know, you're going to point to all the cricket bat deaths in the UK

No, I'm not, because the number of deaths involving a particular lethal weapon have no bearing on whether it is a lethal weapon. An you have already explained how you are just fine with lethal weapons being owned by ten-year-olds, willy-nilly, in unlimited quantities, acquired without any background checks, except for those inanimate objects that coincidentally pertain to your irrational phobia ... so let's talk about how all of society must adjust to accomodate people with irrational fears. For example, let's discuss how we should ban tall buildings just because there are people with acrophobia. Right? Let's talk about that. And why aren't we eradicating spiders everywhere? We have people right here in the US who are afflicted with arachnaphobia. We have a lot of work to do before we can even entertain your hoplophobia.

Tall buildings. Wait, remind me why should we ban them. Oh yeah ... because there are a few nutcases who fear them more than they fear death by toture.

Take machine guns, real ones, held by legal license holders. I was wrong that they are never legal they are just rarely legal. Only some states allow a pre 1986 antique to be owned.

They have not been used in terrorist, wacko or criminal crimes.

They don"t matter. Neither do baseball bats.

Hand Guns from Walmart do matter.

A lot of people of all ages die.

Your false premiss that the death count would not change without guns is unsupported by you or anyone.

You believe your person interpretation of the Constitution is the right one. You believe you can overrule the Supreme court! Interesting.

Our Constitution is setup with a method of determining what is legal and illegal. It delegates authority for that. It also delegates authority for interpreting the Constitution and I'm very sorry but it's not you alone ITN.

You are not using the words "legal" and "illegal" as they are normally used.

Suffice to say you can not dispute that owning many weapons is "against the law".

The Constitution has no such method defined on whether any part of the Constitution is legal or not. Only the States have authority to interpret, change, or even abolish the Constitution. The Court has NO authority in this area at all.

tmiddles wrote:

It is not against the law. There is no limit on the number of weapons one may own declared in the 2nd amendment or anywhere else in the Constitution. The 2nd amendment forbids the federal government from passing such a law. That amendment is also binding upon the States.

If any State tries to pass such a law, the law itself is illegal and can be ignored. Further, the State can be sued to require it to comply with the 2nd amendment.

You don't get to decide how many guns someone may own. You don't get to decide whether someone may own or carry a gun. You don't get to change the Constitution of the United States. You are not the king.

No argument presented. Denial of constitutions as law. Attempted justification of tyranny. Hoplophobia.

The 2nd amendment is clearly directed to only a militia. It's one sentence, not two.

There are multiple examples of this being the perspective at the time of the drafting, before and after. Public carry of fire arms, the legality of pistols and knives, have always been "regulated".
