George Zimmerman is back in the news again. This time, he's trying to sell the gun he used to murder Trayvon Martin. He's like a malignant hemorrhoid on the ass of society and no amount of Prepation H can rid us of his presence. He thinks that murdering an unarmed 17 year old kid makes him some kind of American icon. This miserable prick and his deluded followers are part of the reason why no meaningful gun legislation ever gets passed. Right wing fucktards like Geraldo Rivera would rather ban wearing hoodies than deal with the gun problem in this country. Gun zealots in the NRA and other organizations oppose a variety of laws that would help keep guns out if the hands of criminals. Straw purchases, which are illegal, still happen with astonishing regularity. They also oppose the use of smart guns which use biometrics to render the gun useless to anyone except the registered owner. They even oppose letting the CDC do research on gun violence. They feel that something like this will eventually lead to the government confiscating their guns. Of course, they feel that any attempt to regulate firearms is an attempt to confiscate their guns.
I think the main reason why the gun zealots are so opposed to keeping guns out of the hands of criminals is that it would ruin their chances of fulfilling their Dirty Harry fantasies. These are the fantasies they have while they're sitting in their bunkers, surrounded by weapons, desperately rubbing the grips of their pistols against their cocks while reading Guns & Ammo. They want to be the hero in a big old fashioned Western style shootout.
