This letter to the editor at the Los Angeles Times really captures how regressive-leftists fantasize about this, "Letters: Trayvon Martin, race and justice":
A relatively minor altercation resulted in a tragedy. Who really knows who was the aggressor and who was the defender?Actually, the brutal fact is that Trayvon Martin could have killed George Zimmerman, the way he was pummeling him ground and pound style, like a drugged-out MMA mf.
But what is clear is that the gun used by George Zimmerman escalated what should have been a relatively minor altercation. Without the gun, Zimmerman and Martin would have exchanged a few blows and then been on their way.
This is another example of why firearms do not make us safer. It is insanity to arm the populace. Arguments that should end by both parties walking away with bruises now end with one party being taken away by the coroner.
And notice that "arm the populace" line, which is code for repealing Second Amendment rights. F-king depraved people.
But never mind. Regressives won't ever see clearly on this, because they've got too much invested in shaking down the system and disarming law abiding Americans.
