Yes. Somebody who intends to kill your children and your wife.
Without a gun, I dont see Mr. Zimmerman approaching Trayvon by himself, he declared.
He’s right about that. What Mr. Cosby fails to understand is that it would have also detered Zimmerman if Martin was an actual burglar.
Guns are the great equalizer. Just ask any feminist with a gun in her purse.
Carrying a sidearm doesn’t make you aggressive, any more than a pocketknife or a pipewrench. Guns are a great equalizer. A young punk may be faster than I am, he may be stronger than I am; but in the eyes of my 9mm, we are equal.
I don’t want to make a mess, and do a bunch of paperwork; so I keep my gun to myself. But, if forced to defend myself, doing paperwork tomorrow is better than being dead today.
I always marvel at gun control advocates. In order to believe that gun control will prevent crimes, you have to believe that criminals will follow the law. Which, in essence, means you have to be completely illogical and irrational to imagine the law doing anything more than disarming the law-abiding populace.
Bill Cosby huh? What else would we expect. One carry’s a gun for protection just as Cosby did by carrying a gun in NYC, and had the permit to carry. Did he then mean that he was out to kill somebody. I doubt it. Cosby talking out both sides of his mouth.
Oh. Sorry. Too soon?
When you carry a gun, you mean to harm somebody, kill somebody,
Only a person in the immediate act of attempting to harm or kill me or those in my family, where other means of protection of escape cannot be employed.
Oh. Sorry. Too soon?
Oops. Let me try that again. This time with a link to the story.
Sometimes Cosby's humor is too sophisticated for me. Goes right over my head. Somebody care to explain this bit to me?
On second thought, never mind. Whenever you have to explain a joke it loses...oops...looses its funniness.
When you carry a gun, you mean to harm somebody, kill somebody,
Cosby is wealthy enough to enjoy “security”, meaning bodyguards, when the circumstances indicate it. The little people don’t have the means and must fend for themselves.
I think that Cosby hasn’t realized that there is a difference between defense and offense. Surely over the several decades that Cosby been a well-earned celebrity, he has been under the protection of armed security personnel. So who exactly is the “you” in his complaint? Is “you” the average person just wanting to exercise his unalienable right of self-defense? Of is “you” the little people who must all be denied arms because someone might do something that Cosby disapproves of? Surely “you” is not the criminal or murderer.
I’m willing to overlook Mr Cosby’s obviously emotional statement because he’s done much good. Liberal (therefore stupid) statements do him no good, but given that he lost his son to a gunman (who would have had the gun with or without “gun control”) - we should give him some slack.
A false premise. Carrying a gun for protection is not carrying a gun to commit murder or manslaughter.
So... one successful neighborhood watch, in my opinion, one dead thug, and probably stopped a burglary
No Bill, I aim to defend myself.
Bill, would you be happier, or even noticed if Martin had beaten Zimmerman to death?
I don’t agree with his overall argument, but I think he’s spot on with his comment:
If Zimmermand didn’t have a gun he wouldn’t have approached Trayvon.
I absolutely believe that to be a correct statement. Zimmermans actions created and escalated the situation, needlessly, and I have no doubt the gun in his posession contributed to his repeated and escalatingly stupid decisions.
Why not? I see the pictures on the TV and in the newspaper every day. Kid was 12 years old and real innocent-looking.
Just had to know that the anti-self defense loons would make an appearance.
Some people just won’t be happy until we are all disarmed, at the mercy of the lawless, and easy prey for the savages. God forbid law-abiding citizens should be able to protect themselves.
I lost what little respect I had for Cosby when he bought himself the Ed.D degree and started putting a Dr. in front of his name. An Ed.D is not a Ph.D and Cosby’s was bought with donations anyway. Typical emotion driven fact devoid hypocritical libtard.
