Interesting suggestion about arming all black people and the response.
Yes. I am already outraged that gun-advocates defend Zimmerman so strongly when he (at least in my impression) was the agressor, but this racism inherent in pro-gun/self-defence groups should be more on the news.
People argue against Moore's "KKK led to NRA" video but despite their outrage on accusations of racism NRA and pro-gun groups don't seem to want to defend black people, or even want them armed.
"But you see, they are just thugs..."
The NRA is a pretty shitty organization. Even a lot of gun nuts don't like them, because they often don't actually work for the people as much as their own pockets.
Speaking of gun nuts, there's also a lot of criticism of Zimmerman in firearms circles. Obviously the people who think Trayvon was some thug who was smashing his head into the ground repeatedly think he did the right thing (because these are the people who are dumb anyway), but people are using Zimmerman as an example of what NOT to do. He didn't identify himself as far as we're aware and actively sought out a potentially dangerous scenario.
You're supposed to use your weapon to defend against sudden danger in your daily life, not to keep your ass alive when you throw yourself into it.
