The mother of Trayvon Martin criticized the National Rifle Associations decision to offer people insurance if they fatally shoot someone in a new ad.
Sybrina Fulton, Martins mother, starred in a nearly two-minute clip from gun control group Guns Down, calling on people to take a stand against two companies backing the NRAs carry guard insurance.
They spend millions lobbying for laws that allow them to shoot first and stand their ground.But that just makes it easier to get away with murder, Fulton says in the clip. Now theyre selling insurance that covers the cost when a gun owner kills someone and claims self-defense.
The Carry Guard insurance, created by the NRA and backed by Chubb and Lockton Affinity, is a form of insurance for legal gun carriers in case they kill someone.The NRA offers four different plans: bronze, silver, gold and gold plus.
The highest level, Gold Plus, provides gun carriers with $1.5 million in civil protection and $250,000 in criminal defense.
Tell them that if they keep offering murder insurance theyll never get your business, Fulton adds in the video. George Zimmerman, the man who fatally shot her son, was cleared of second degree murder based off the states State Your Ground law.
A Chubb spokesperson noted that the company only offers insurance for lawful activity.
Our insurance policies protect customers engaged in many kinds of economic, social and personal activity, all of which must be lawful. We respect the diverse views of our customers on many issues, the statement read. The Carry Guard insurance program underwritten by Westchester, a Chubb company, addresses the personal liability risks of lawfully possessing and carrying a firearm as well as lawful activity.
The NRA and Lockton did not return The Daily Caller News Foundation request for comment in time for publication.

Her stance would still be that of a lying, money-grubbing two-legged cow.
I think of it as “Anti-anti-gunner” insurance.
Yeah, why didnt you and your Baby Daddy Spend your time trying to raise Thugvon properly and keep his wandering criminal ass at home?
Screw you, Opportunist
Who and who gives a crap?
Tell them that if they keep offering murder insurance theyll never get your business, Fulton adds in the video. George Zimmerman, the man who fatally shot her son, was cleared of second degree murder based off the states State (sic) Your Ground law.
It appears from the original that the Daily Caller's author, not Ms. Fulton, made the remark about the FL SYG law. If so, that author really messed this up by calling the "Stand Your Ground" law the "State Your Ground" (my emphasis to show the error of using the word "State" instead of "Stand") law and then falsely saying that law was the basis of Zimmerman's defense when Zimmerman's defense was traditional self-defense and never involved the SYG law. The DC also really screwed up by closing down comments.
Obligatory post:
Maybe the NAACP can counter with some stupidity insurance for thugs.
What I appreciate is Gold Plus, not Platinum like ObamaCare.
Is there any way to find out how much she was paid for this?
I had never seen that picture before.
How about this?
