George Zimmerman was acquitted of murder charges after he shot and killed Trayvon Martin in 2012. He successfully used his firearm to defend himself and is alive and free, but his life is pretty bleak. Three years have passed since the shooting, and now Zimmerman:
  • is divorced.
  • is homeless.
  • is $2.5 million in debt for his criminal defense.
  • has several times been accused of domestic violence by his ex wife and girlfriend, who later recanted their stories
  • has been the victim of an attempted murder.
Fuck shooting people. Yeah maybe you survive but say goodbye to life as you know it. I'd almost rather die than have to go through that shit. Almost.

Ok another option.

BOOM the father kills the burglar. Later after he is proven to have used his weapon in self defense he is striken with a deep depression discovering that the burglar was just a young misguided youth. He turns to alcohol to sooth the memories of watching someones child slowly die on his own sons bedroom floor.

The memory was never shaken from his own son either. He shuts himself off from his friends at school and suffers from traumatic flashbacks.

A year down the road the father in an alcohol induced rage accidentally discharged his forearm, this time not at an intruder but at his wife. He turns the gun against himself and the child is left under the care of social work and becomes a responsibility of the state.

Shooting people. Not even once.

And remeber the intruder in the original fabricated story that defends the use of firearms said it was a burglar. Anyone that's seen Antman knows that means he was unarmed and was only after material objects.

Just wondering what you would do if someone breaks into your house in the middle of the night. How would you attempt to protect yourself and your family from being raped and/or murdered? Alot of violent sex offenders start out as simple burglars. And even if you are fortunate enough to have called 911, there's no guarantee the cops will show up in time to save you.

At least with a gun you have a chance to save yourself. But if you're more comfortable just bending over and taking it then have fun with that. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It was a serious question though. What would you do?

Or maybe ammunition designed to ensure that whoever gets shot dies, not subdued, shouldn't be available to the public because self defense doesn't mean you get a free pass to play executioner.

Hollow points do twice as much damage to unarmored targets, making them the ammo of choice for your 10mm SMG to kill people with. I'm an expert on this topic seeing as I've played Fallout 1, 2, 3, and NV. What are your credentials?
