Right. A used Kel-Tec? How about twenty bucks?

Agree that it is in poor taste so don't take my comment as support for this, more just an FYI. There are actually groups of "collectors/hobbyists" that collect, sell, and trade items specifically related to high profile murders and crimes such as Charles Manson or mass murder related things. I wouldn't be surprised if those are the types of people looking to buy this.

Not according to the evidence and a jury that heard the evidence.

But facts are so... 1970's... who needs them, right?

You can't copyright a name, you'd trademark it. That's a two way street because you would need it trademarked to prevent other people from profiting it. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a common practice in cases like this. That would give them the opportunity to sue people from using it on T-shirts or whatever. If someone wanted to make a movie, mention him a newspaper article or even post here about Trayvon it wouldn't prevent that.

There is fine line with trademarks. The common example is you can refer to your company with different name as an American airline but you can't imply you are the American Airlines. It's when that distinction is not clear you can sue.

And having the nerve to call the gun 'a piece of American history'!

Disgusting!!!!!

His ego rivals that of the Donald.

Zimmerman made sure that Trayvon wasn't around to tell his side of the story.


And we all know that juries get it right every time, that is why someday OJ Simpson and Casey Anthony will be vindicated when the real killers are found.

I see. When someone is killed by another person we should always convict the killer because the dead person is dead. What a wonderful system of justice that would be.

It makes me sad when I know some posters vote.
