Dear Newt,

Love you man, but you really need to learn when to shut the hell up.

Tread lightly, Newt. Care you expound upon your statement?

If you’re referring to gun ownership, I’ve never seen a single unsafe gun owner at any range I’ve ever been to, and you’d be careful with your words lest you incite the ire of a few million gun owners in this country.

Newt has never been big on guns.

Little Newt Ricky. LOL

Sounds like Newt may have pulled a “Santorum”.

This is what Newt thinks of people who carry concealed weapons to protect themselves.

"dangerous hobby."

No way in hell I vote for this out-of-touch Washington pimp, whose anti-freedom statist impulses were just confirmed to me.

I think the “hobby” that the Newt is referring to is being an active member of a neighborhood watch.

I did not care for Al Sharpton trying this guy in the media, and Newt shouldn’t do it either.

The gun community has a problem with Newt.

Newt piling on along with Obama and Santorum. There is no need to get involved with this case except to say that we should allow our legal system to sort things out. The presumption of innocence is a pillar of our democracy. Let the facts and evidence decide the issue and not the court of public opinion. Newt should be decrying the rabble led by Sharpton who has a history of introducing race into such incidents.

Zimmerman was not on duty as part of his Neighborhood Watch duties, which should not be considered a "hobby," but rather, concerned citizens getting involved in protecting their property and that of their neighbors. Why does Newt consider it to be "dangerous?"

While Geraldo blames the tragic death of Trayvon Martin on his mode of dress, I believe there is another element that the MSM will studiously ignore.

Barack Obama has done more to divide this nation along racial lines than anything I can remember. “African Americans for Obama”, “Hispanics for Obama,” “Martians for Obama”, etc., etc... are just part of it. This guy's efforts to take us the rest of the way to communism have angered many of those who may already harbor latent or outright racist tendencies. While Obama’s anti-American behavior has little to do with his race, there are unbalanced folks out here who DO read race into that behavior. Once they cross that threshold, their warped minds can justify nearly any act, up to and including the killing of an unarmed black boy walking through his neighborhood. I fear there is more — and worse — to come.

Barack, some of Trayvon Martin's blood — and the blood of future black and white victims of your racism — is on YOUR hands.

Well duh everybody... Newt is not talking about GUNS he is talking about this guy’s “Neighborhood Watch” obsession. If you have heard anything about the story you would know that Zimmerman has made scores of false alarm 911 calls. Sounds like he was a cop/badbutt (I know it doesn’t work but I don’t cuss!) wanna-be.

Newt actually has this just right, as usual.

Yes, being in a neighborhood watch group can be dangerous — kinda like the active-duty military that Gingrich never served in.

Newt…As much as I admire you and love you, you should have kept our yap shut. There is no verdict in so shut up.

If you are looking for the black vote, which seems to be apparent, forget it; and therefore, shame on you because you are not going to get their vote anyway. But maybe you were also looking for the Hispanic vote since he was referred to as an “Hispanic.” Never the less, SHUT UP!!!

You just may have made some other folks angry at you for this stupidity in trying to get votes.

In the end, this is being made into a racist thing. Period!!!!

JUST SHUT THE HECK UP ON THIS SUBJECT!!!!!

In 2016 or 2020 when Newt decides to run again, he'll be reminded of this remark and say he was really stupid to have made the comment and that he fully supports neighborhood watch programs.

Newts right. Zim sucked at fighting and was ill equipped to deal with the trouble that he went looking for and found.

Newt, I voted for you and love you to death but you probably should butt out of this one. Let the local cops hand it and stick with bashing Barky.
