After George Zimmerman was found not guilty for the murder of Trayvon Martin, there was an effort by the Buckeye Firearms Foundation to raise money to get Zimmerman another gun. They raised over $12,000 for Zimmerman, and on CNN tonight, Ken Hanson defended his group’s aim to Piers Morgan, who repeatedly confronted him about how he would feel if Zimmerman went out with his gun and shot someone again.
Hanson explained it wasn’t just a gun they got for Zimmerman, it was ammunition, training, personal protection, and a few other things so he could defend himself and his family. Morgan asked, “Have you offered to do the same for the family of Trayvon Martin?” Hanson replied, “I’m not aware of any threats against Mr. Martin’s family.”
Morgan told Hanson many people are obviously concerned about Zimmerman having another gun, and asked him point-blank, “What if he does it again?” Hanson told Morgan if Zimmerman had to use his gun in self-defense against someone bashing his head in again, “That’s incredible bad luck that he found himself in that situation twice, but we’ll sleep soundly.”
A baffled Morgan asked, “You would sleep soundly”? Hanson affirmed what he said.....

TM was on top of GZ beating him...that’s why he was shot.
That was masterful. I have watched others attempt to emerge victorious with Piers the Lesser. Talking over him, talking louder than him, did not win the debate. But Mr. Hanson’s cooly responsive comebacks, embedded on fact, was the most successful handing of the Limey’s jockstrap to him I have yet seen.
Piers Moregrime performs a public service by saving a lot of us Yanks the expense of foreign travel vacationing because America is the greatest place on Earth and Piers is proof.
“Why should I travel? I’m already here!”, I like to say. If I never see the inside of an airliner ever again, it will be too soon. The inside of my minivan as I travel the interstates of this wonderful nation is thrill enough.
“People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.”
If it is in self-defense? Absolutely.
I wish I had more George Zimmermans in my neighborhood - folks who put themselves on the line to volunteer to watch their area, help their neighbors, and step out to help others. If they get attacked and have to defend themselves, they deserve our support, not censure.
I shun this A-hole.
Piers has called the justifiable,self defense, killing of Martin “cold blooded murder” before on his show. So he is directly responsible for the lynch mob that is now making death threats to Zimmerman and his family. That should be a major talking point of any conservative invited on his show.
Would Piers Morgan have been able to sleep soundly if Ted Kennedy had killed again? I think he would have been able to.
Of course, per an old John Prine song - A question isn't really a question if you know the answer too.
Every visitor to his show should carry a photo of Zimmerman’s injuries and a recording of the 911 call.
Does Piers sleep soundly knowing that Obama F&F guns are killing people. He never mentions this so he must be sleeping pretty well. Oh, and that Benghazi thing too. But God forbid someone actually defends their very life. I never wish ill on people but I will make an exception for this POS.
Yo, Piers you Brit twit, if the White Hispanic kills another thug you’re damn right we’ll all sleep that much better.
It wouldn’t bother me in the least if GZ took a shot at Piers!
I read an article once that surmised that most “real” men in England were killed in the two great wars leaving a vacuum filled by homos and pansies.

Well Piers is a pansy.. but a bully behind a shield of one kind or another..
He wants to be proud of the Brits being disarmed.. instead of ashamed..
Cowards that buckled against the IRA... and the Russian socialists..
not to speak of the Fabians.. and those assorted groups..
The Brits are a step behind the French looking at their asses..
I think the only thing he cares about is improving his pitiful ratings. What a slime.
Cowardice must be a virtue in the UK..
To be fair, I understand that Piers Morgan was kicked out of the U.K.
There are a lot of good people in the U.K.
Have most of your information filtered through the BBC for decades, and see how the U.S. will turn out.
