A general observation here.
The wingnuts have a lot invested in Zimmerman.
Then I realize that Zimmerman was living their dream. They all want a gun so some day, they can bravely shoot a bad guy. They don't want a tazer or a tear gas or a big dog, which would be just as effective at stopping a bad guy. They want a gun to be able to plug a bad guy. And they want a CC Permit.
So Zimmerman was living the dream. He actually plugged on of those .... er.... punks. Yeah. that's it. Punks.
As opposed to your fantasy of every 250 lb. thug being able to rape a 110 lb. woman with impunity.
There were 191,670 reported cases of rape in 2005. Probably a lot more weren't reported.
Rape statistics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Only 202 cases of people killing others in self-defense.
FBI ? Expanded Homicide Data Table 15
So I'm guessing not all that many rapes are really being prevented by widespread gun proliferation. Now why is that?
