Just think, you can now initiate a confrontation with someone who is unarmed and if you start to get the worst of it, you can just shoot them. There will be a lot more "self defense" going on.

Zimmerman didn't pull his gun on Martin. His jacket came open in the struggle, Martin saw the gun and went for it. Zimmerman had no choice.
The bottom line is that he did everything by the book. He did everything a gun owner was supposed to do. It was Martin who escalated the situation. All he had to do was stop and talk with the volunteer neighborhood watchman and he would have been on his way and still living.
Trayvon Martin = total fucking retard
It's the one and only explanation for how contact with neighborhood watch ends in what it did.
