When did I say lousy fighters shouldn't own guns?

But if you are a lousy fighter, you shouldn't instigate fights.

One incident, years ago, with no charges
filed makes him "Mr. Domestic Violence?"

Zim probably would have lost a fist fight with Trayvon, as Zim is used to just slapping women around, and shoving cops, he needed that gun. Too bad the cop he shoved didn't go ballistic like he did. Most other police departments would have a cop shover eating gravel or licking blacktop pavement.

In 2005, at the age of 21, Zimmerman was charged with assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest, after shoving an officer while a friend of Zimmerman's was being questioned about underage drinking. The charges were reduced, then dropped when Zimmerman entered a pre-trial diversion program. Also in 2005, Zimmerman's ex-fiance filed a restraining order against him, alleging domestic violence. Zimmerman requested a reciprocal restraining order. Both orders were granted

I don't think violent people who beat up cops and girlfriends should have the right to carry a gun in public



Upon conviction they don't.

Not quite. Pushing and shoving. Charges reduced, then waived.

If Zimmerman didn't have a gun nothing would have happened, too many people with guns that don't know how to use them. The fact that Zimmerman had a gun made him overly aggressive, he would never have put himself in that situation under normal circumstances.
