Comments by "upabittoolate" (@upabittoolate) on "If Zimmerman Didn't Have a Gun Would Trayvon Martin Be Alive?" video.
Doctors kill more people? You're an imbecile.

Sure. If he was unarmed, he most likely wouldn't have been daring enough to get out of his car & stalk the kid. Even still, it's not very easy for a skinny kid to beat a full-grown man to death; even if that full grown man was as soft as George Zimmerman.

You don't understand the premise of the argument. For 1, a knife & fork aren't as easily used weapons as a gun. Furthermore, you have to ask yourself if Zimmerman, an ostensibly concerned citizen & neighbor, is feeling brave with a fork in his hand. Is Zimmerman, who was crying in the recording according to his brother, going to stalk someone with a fork in his hand? The answer is no. He obviously isn't much use in a fistfight, that much is documented. Take away the gun & he waits for the cops.

People without guns have a harder time killing people. "People kill people" is the lousiest logic in the world.

I never said anything about banning guns. I'm for gun control & regulation. I'm not for people owning; much less legally carrying concealed pistols in densely populated, metropolitan areas. As for Travyon being a "thug", that doesn't mean anything. Even if he was a member of Zoe Pound, Zimmerman had no right, business or authority to stalk him. Tell the truth, in a "stand your ground" state, isn't Travyon endowed the same to self-defense against an aggressor?

The thing is, there aren't many incidents where handguns are saving lives.

It's not very often that someone drives a car with malice to kill a person. Also, you must consider the fact that car accidents are caused by more than 1 variable. Impairment, underqualification.& faulty machines are a factor. Aside from that, you haven't considered how many car accidents DON'T happen per capita. But most of all, people need cars to get back & forth. Handguns don't have that kind of utility. Your false equivalency is pretty stupid. Do better.

"Only 5% of gunshots are lethal". That's a sharp hairsplit if I do say so myself. How many gunshots to center mass or the femur are lethal? What's the response time to get to treatment? Must I mention the other variables or are you gonna pull another number out of your ass & pass it off as fact?

Like I said, it;s harder to kill a person without a gun. So we need to limit access to guns. There's too much abuse of the 2nd Amendment. You can't really argue that fact.

Yes. I've hugged a tree or 2. Yes, I vote Green. This is AMERICA. It's MY right to choose whatever candidate I see fit to make my statement. FUCK the "middle ground". I don't walk down the middle of the street because I don't want to get squished. I'm most definite; not think-so. Spare me the uneducated lectures. You're STILL a moron.

You are a moron.

If George had a knife, he most likely wasn't getting out of his car because he knows his hands are slow & so do we. And let's be honest, if he's getting out of his car carrying a Louisville, he's doing it with malice to harm someone; not self-defense. If he had a taser or mace, then you're having a conversation. Cenk is being absrud when he's talking about staplers & pillows but be completely honest, a gun's a gun. It's a false sense of security.

Of COURSE Trayvon would still be alive.

You are a moron.

I already see it in my mind's eye. You'll just have to wait.

You mean to call it a false equivalency.
