[QUOTE="Rainman, post: 1274466, member: 22207"] Some people overreact at what they perceive as a threat. Maybe this was one of those cases. But we don't know all the details in the case. There was a reason why Zimmerman didn't get convicted on Martin's death. It was because he WAS threatened. The general public seemed to be coming down hard on him because they didn't have all the facts and some scandal publications distorted the truth, and got everyone Believing something that wasn't true. It might turn out the same in this case also. It seems that you are using a few tragic events to push the idea that we should all be disarmed. I got my first gun as a teenager and for the last 40 plus years I have never even pointed one at any human being. But I do want to have the right to protect myself and my family if necessary. Just keep in mind that of someone is up to no good,they will likely go to an area where they are not known to do whatever they are going to do. Just because you may live in a relatively safe area doesn't mean that trouble can't come to you. None of us want to live in fear of what MIGHT happen, but a reasonable amount of preparation is wise.
