Bill Cosby says Trayvon Martin case more about GUNS than RACE

Bill Cosby is right. We can remove such things from the incident such as a hoodie, racism, vigilantism and still we may find a dead black boy on the ground. But if you remove the gun from the equation there would be no Trayvon Martin case.
There are only three uses for guns outside the home. Criminal activity mostly concerning gangs, disgruntled losers shooting groups of people, and white people PRAYING for the opportunity to shoot a Negro (or Mexican). Most any NRA argument about hunting or target practice are bogus. You know the talking point NRA answer to why we need 30 round clips for handguns? Because some DICKHEAD at a gun range is too lazy to load three clips of 11 shots. If I were King, I would decree that no gun be able to shoot more than six rounds with out reloading. Oh, and not allow single men to own a gun.

Rack Jite Quotes
Of course God is real & He’s acting in the form of Lt. Jite of Dumbutt, Texas. Lt. Jite can see into George Zimmerman’s heart to see his motives in shooting an unarmed 17 year old. The Lt. makes pronouncements as reeking of Papal infallibility as any Medieval Pope. (BTW, since the Popes declared themselves infallible only in 1879 does that mean that the prior Popes weren’t infallible enough to know they were infallible?)
It doesn’t matter WHY Zimmerman shot. A person is dead. I’ll go further to state that given the self-serving statements already made & Zimmerman’s need to avoid making incriminating statements; we may never truly know what was in his heart when he pulled the trigger. It doesn’t much matter. A person’s dead either way.
Lt.,
Not seeing the interview in total, but sticking in my two cents worth regardless.
he Trayvon Martin tragedy was caused by: (in order)
Zimmerman, who never had to take any of his actions.
The “Stand Your Ground” Law which gave him the idea that his actions might somehow be justified.
The ready prevalence of handguns.
You and the other 70% of white people do leave RACISM out of this, as they do most everything. It is one of the three elephants in the room we choose to ignore along with God being real and all becoming millionaires next year.
If Trayvon Martin had been white it would not have happened. Same with Joe Horn here in Texas, had the guys running away been white they would not have been shot. But you are right that in both cases had these NRA idiots not had a gun no one would be dead either.
Bill Cosby is not denying race is involved, but he realizes racism is so embedded in our culture not much can be done to change that, but we can change the gun laws. Remember, his son killed by a handgun.
