There is REASONABLE doubt about Zimmerman's guilt....According to "Stand Your Ground"

60. we are not going to agree no matter how many polls we put up.

There was one put up just a couple of days ago where there were more people who believed in an individual's right to own a gun, rather than a militia right. However, when I went to the link I found the rest of the poll. It showed a different outcome when the question was more regulation of guns. Since SCOTUS has ruled on the gun ownership issue (wrongly, I believe) I can see how the public would respond in the way it did to that poll. And the lobbying and the power of the NRA and the right wing in this country has vast, deep pockets and people who carry the message with messianic fervor. Just because the bullhorn is loud, it doesn't make it right in my perspective.

I do live differently where I can. I support progressive candidates for office. I think the proliferation of guns in our society is a bad thing. So we disagree. I have no doubt that you believe all the attributes that prof. luna describes. I think it's a crock.

You can have guns for sports and hunting AND regulations. I have mentioned Switzerland and Norway as examples. Of course, there are aberrant incidences but they are very few, whereas in the U.S. we see gun incidents, large and small, taking place every day.
