The State of Florida vs George Zimmerman: The Trial

He would not had been allowed to carry anything that could even be used as a weapon either not even a screw driver unless he could point out the screws he was planning on using it on.

Will u explain how this scenario accords with your beliefs qua
the emotions or "psychological disabilities" (as u put it)
of well armed citizens, please???

Your poor women are not even allow a tiny container of pepper spray on a key ring as at least a token protection from being assaulted.

Maybe real men don't need to carry weapons to feel virile.

Maybe your women are more scared of men than ours are

Not that it never happens of course but a society which takes extreme and general precautions against very rare events is doomed.

Maybe real men don't need to carry weapons to feel virile.
Since u choose to raise the allegation,
will u prove that virility is involved
other than in the imaginations of those who abhor liberty ???

"Well armed citizens"? You live in a country populated by .
other gun nuts.
You'd be a lot safer from gun violence if guns were banned.

If government effectively renounced the Bill of Rights,
then by so doing, it woud no longer have any claim upon
the allegiance of the citizenry.

Editorial: Guns and manhood

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- In 1977, more than half of U.S. households had guns -- but by 2010, the ratio had dropped to less than one-third. Fewer Americans want guns, according to researchers at the University of Chicago's General Social Survey.

Yet gun sales are sky-high. How can that be? The explanation apparently is that the minority who are gun owners buy ever-more weapons, creating arsenals.

Strangely, some owners think the firepower makes them more manly.

The manufacturer of Bushmaster assault rifles -- the weapon used to kill 20 grade-school tots and six teachers in Connecticut -- created a Web site praising the manliness of its buyers. Perhaps spoofingly, it offered a "man card" to buyers.

"In a world of rapidly depleting testosterone, the Bushmaster Man Card declares and confirms that you are a man's man," the site said.

The site offered quizzes to test men's virility. One page asked viewers to choose between a kitten, a candle and a military-style assault gun. Another said cards could be revoked if the holder is a "crybaby, cupcake, coward or just unmanly." The site reported that one man's card was revoked because he "avoids eye contact with tough-looking fifth-graders."

After the Connecticut school massacre, the Bushmaster Web site was revised.

Magazine editor Paul Waldman wrote that the message is clear: "If you're anxious about your masculinity, if you aren't quite sure whether those around you find you sufficiently strong and potent," buying guns will make you a he-man. He added:

"You don't have to be a Freudian analyst to grasp the hidden meaning. It's not even subtext -- it's text. As we begin a long-overdue examination of where gun culture in America has gone, we can't avoid the way guns have become so entwined with masculine anxiety, as so many men seek to find their identity in instruments of destruction."

Even if the former Bushmaster site was a joke, it presumably touched a personality trait: Some men think guns affirm their virility. Evidently they don't feel male enough if they lack firepower.

Incidentally, it should be noted that all of America's mass shootings have been committed by males.

As Vice President Joe Biden leads hasty research into U.S. gun danger, we wonder if he will consider the testosterone factor?

last week on charges of felony stalking and computer tampering, according to The Arizona Republic.Tweeting about tying Nancy Grace to a tree, stripping her naked and slitting her throat landed a 48-year-old New Yorker in Jail, Arizona officials say.

David Lee Simpson was allegedly infatuated and obsessed with convicted murderer Jodi Arias and was angered by the disparaging remarks about Arias made by Grace and Jane Velez-Mitchell, both anchors for Turner Broadcasting, The Leader Corning reported.

In June, Simpson allegedly posted that he would tie Grace and Velez-Mitchell to a "tree naked and leave them to suffer all night," then "slit their throats." Simpson also allegedly commented that he wanted to "gut [one of the newscasters] like a deer."

Grace and Velez-Mitchell were in Phoenix covering the Arias trial when the threats were made. Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona's Maricopa County began investigating Simpson after he became aware of the remarks.

Simpson was indicted by a Phoenix grand jury

As controversy surrounding the acquittal of George Zimmerman continues to make headlines throughout the county, various public figures are also continuing to show their support in memory of the late teen.

While Jay-Z and Beyonce joined Reverend Al Sharpton during a rally in New York City on Saturday, other entertainers, such as Stevie Wonder, are boycotting the state of Florida and other “stand your ground states” until officials repel the self-defense law.

Omari Hardwick is also adding his name to the list of Martin supporters through a new viral clip titled, “Little Black Boy Wonder.” The four-minute clip, which was written and produced by Hardwick, features an array of Hollywood notables including Eriq LaSalle, Marlon Wayans, David Oyelowo, Sugar Shane Mosely, Bill Duke, and Gary Dourdan among others, citing a dedication poem in honor of Martin.
