The vast majority of gun owners would never respond to a teenage prank by shooting at them. Precisely. The SYG bull**** laws have convinced feeble-minded gun owners that they can act out their aggressions and shoot people for any reason they can conjure and then claim they felt threatened. As I pointed out to you offline. SYG is just an invention of the media and it does really not exist in the Florida law. If Zimmerman and Dunn have not made this apparent to anyone,, they are too stupid to have a gun. Unfortunately it is still being promoted by the media for their own reasons. I think the discussions of what may have happened in the jury deliberations negate your posit. When the jury members start talking, we'll know. If you look at the verdicts it appears that they had juror(s) with reasonable doubt on self defense for the first shot or two but continuing to shoot at a fleeing vehicle was a crime. I agree if that was the case. I do not think "retreat" was really an option since his girlfriend was still going to be there if he left. My wife surely would not be happy if I drove off and left her at a gas station because I was in fear of bodily harm. There's not an iota of evidence Dunn was in fear of bodily harm, and his communications from jail indicate he was a mean-spirited racist. Whatever music the kids were listening to was no threat to his life. Dunn got away with murder. Another white man who shot and killed a black kid for no reason, and the crime was nullified by whites on a jury in Florida. What a surprise. |

Guns are made and sold for shooting. No surprise here. Guns are made and sold for shooting but the decision to do so is up to the owner. This guy made the wrong choice and it's very possible it was influenced by media coverage of SYG laws. |

I think he was trying to scare the **** out of the kids. But, he blew it. I also don't think this idiot represents more than the extreme outliers of gun owners - that 4th standard deviation bunch. |

That's what most guns are sold to handle. "Predicaments." Most gun owners don't care about safety or range practice. |
