House Democrats use Trayvon Martin’s death to push gun control legislation

  Who didn’t see this coming? House Democrats are using the killing of Trayvon Martin as a conduit to push more gun control laws on law abiding American citizens. The Congressional Black Caucus is planning on introducing a resolution which would override and repeal “stand your ground” laws in states which currently have this legislation on the books.

  Never let a good crisis go to waste is what Rahm Emanuel once said, even if that crisis had to be manufactured, because the end justifies the means. The Obama regime had intended to create a crisis at the Mexican border by selling weapons to drug lords as part of Operation Fast and Furious, but that failed when Brian Terry was murdered so the regime had to sit and wait until an opportunity arose which could be exploited for their anti-second amendment agenda, and now they feel as if they have found it in Trayvon Martin–hence all the national media attention being paid to a local story. This, of course, will be legislation of a much smaller scope than they had hoped when the regime was selling weapons to the enemy, and it comes in the form of a non-binding resolution, but it is a welcome start for the gun grabbers and this is only the beginning.

  This legislation is being introduced at a time when we still don’t know the details of what happened that night; it could very well be the case that Florida’s stand your ground law saved the life of George Zimmerman when he faced an aggressive attacker, or it could be a fact that George Zimmerman acted irresponsibly and killed an innocent man that night.

  We simply do not know, but even if the latter is the case this still seems to be an overreach and overreaction by the House Democrats. Are we to punish the law abiding citizens of every state for the actions of one man in one state however tragic this story is?
