Vice President Joe Biden said the death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin should prompt a debate about gun laws, particularly the states Stand Your Ground statute.
Its important that people be put in a position where their Second Amendment rights are protected, but that they also dont, as a consequence of the laws, unintendedly put themselves in harms way, Biden said in an interview broadcast Sunday on CBS Face the Nation.
Biden, a former chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said any such discussion would be a state issue, not a federal one. Still, he expressed doubt over the idea that carrying a gun makes people safer.
The idea that theres this overwhelming additional security in the ownership and carrying concealed and deadly weapons I think its the premise, not the constitutional right, but the premise that it makes people safer is one that Im not so sure of, Biden said.
George Zimmerman, a 28-year-old neighborhood watch volunteer, has claimed self-defense in shooting Martin, who was unarmed. Zimmerman remains free, claiming protection under Stand Your Ground, which permits using deadly force rather than retreating in a fight.

All the other Black people who died due to gun violence don’t matter to the left.
Never let a good crisis go to waste.
unless Biden can explain to me, how Martin went from ‘walking away fast’ and ‘lost him,’ to being thisclose next to Zimmerman confronting him “why are you following me” in the space of about 60 to 90 seconds, all the while Martin’s girlfriend was on the phone, then he needs to shut the hell up and go back to his cave.
Biden: Trayvon Martins Death Should Spark Gun Law Debate
>>>>>>>>>>>
Please ask Biden to go to Florida, and wear a hoodie on a dark and stormy night etc.
Out of all of the things that I could say, quote and reference and that would destroy this communist MF’ers ideology... a simple FU biden is the best response.

So if Travon was so upstanding and undeserving of assault, perhaps the law should have not hindered him from carrying lest someone shoot him without cause.
That's half of it; the other half is to provide a distraction from President Food Stamps' numerous, inexcusable failures.
Yup, It’s called “dancing in the blood”. It’s what liberals do.
The dem’s use of this incident is two fold:
Incite racial violence against “Whitey” and kill as many as possible and when large numbers of commander zero’s foot soldiers end up DRT cry out for stricter gun control laws.
Biden’s stupidity should spark mental health debates..
.
Biden should spark who’s got a brain debate!

Really? Really? This guy is in second command of our national security? I thought I'd seen every politician put their feet in their mouths to the umpteenth degree - Biden now puts his leg in his mouth. Swear I have never seen such gobblygook in all my political life. And they destroyed Quayle for misspelling potatoe??? Biden is the absolute king of stupid gaffes. Where's CNN et al?
Maybe the debate should be whether you need a .45 when one 9mm round is sufficient.
Senility is not an attribute that works well when you are second to the nuclear trigger. You can't help it, but please go away and enjoy what's left of your cognizant life. Smell the flowers Joe. Look at the Sun...it's bright and pretty.
Best to you,

“...Martin, who was unarmed.”
That is exactly what I think when these liberals make this stupid call for more gun control. If Martin had a gun he might be alive now instead of being gunned down by this Zimmeerman fellow, who as far as I can tell from the LSM, is a raving KKK lunatic, wannabe cop that terrorized this neighborhood and gunned this poor defenseless little child down in cold blood as he lay on the ground screaming for mercy.
Please Joe, get the Prince to go there. Romney may not be able to turnout the gun guys and gals but you and the prince certainly can.
