If Trayvon would have been armed, and had won a gunfight, the NRA would want Trayvon hung, so, it's a lose/lose situation all the way around.

Travis Smiley is a moron.

Trayvon was too young to get a CCP.

The right wingers love them, just look at zimmerman whom has had numerous arrests for his violence.

Really? Can you cite evidence that this is the NRA's position or are you clairvoyant?

Well, they actually love anyone who doesn't abide by laws, I'm surprised they didn't begin backing Trayvon, but he was wearing a hoodie looking like a thug, as opposed to Zim who looked like a {fill in blank}

No, I project like you do sometimes, and I do like being facetious too.

Uh, I'm guessing because he wasn't legally able to own a gun at 17.

They do not support carrying concealed guns. Many kids learn to use guns when they are in their early teens and do hunting. My dad taught my brothers to hunt and my one son in law spent hours with his father and uncles hunting in Texas and other states. This is very different than carrying a conceal gun or a pistol period.

No, not numerous but a couple and he was never found guilty was he? TM had several run ins at school that if reported to the police could have given him a record. The school decided not to do anything or that is my understanding.
