Second Amendment absolutist "cold-dead-hands" crowd believe that Zimmerman was morally justified in stalking and killing Trayvon Martin, because he was legally carrying a gun, and the SYG law gave him the power to be a bully. Their claims that CCW holders are more "law-abiding" than non-CCW holders do not address morally-corrupt, but unreported, wife beaters, bullies, drunks, bigots, and other anti-social misfits who are allowed to carry lethal weapons in public.

Appealing to the right-wing gun lobby about moral issues connected with the gun violence epidemic in this nation is an exercise in futility, as evidenced by their lack of compassion or understanding connected with most other Liberal social improvement efforts.
