Biden: Trayvon Martin’s Death Should Spark Gun Law Debate

    Posted on April 1, 2012 at 12:02pm by Madeleine Morgenstern Madeleine Morgenster

Vice President Joe Biden said the death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin should prompt a debate about gun laws, particularly the state’s “Stand Your Ground” statute.

“It’s important that people be put in a position where their Second Amendment rights are protected, but that they also don’t, as a consequence of the laws, unintendedly put themselves in harm’s way,” Biden said in an interview broadcast Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

Biden, a former chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said any such discussion would be a state issue, not a federal one. Still, he expressed doubt over the idea that carrying a gun makes people safer.


“The idea that there’s this overwhelming additional security in the ownership and carrying concealed and deadly weapons…I think it’s the premise, not the constitutional right, but the premise that it makes people safer is one that I’m not so sure of,” Biden said.


George Zimmerman, a 28-year-old neighborhood watch volunteer, has claimed self-defense in shooting Martin, who was unarmed. Zimmerman remains free, claiming protection under “Stand Your Ground,” which permits using deadly force rather than retreating in a fight.

“I’m confident the people of Florida will debate and discuss whether or not this law, the Stand Your Ground law, whether is being applied as it was intended to [be] applied and whether or not as intended it makes sense,” Biden said. “But that’s a decision for the state to make.”

Uh Joe,....if you had your way, and the jerk you work for had your way, you wouldn't even allow us commoners to own guns.

It's the law Joe,...it ain't going anywhere....Only the Libs are stirring the pot, (as they always do),...

November is taking too long to get here....

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

Remember when Holder said "Fast and Furious" illustrated the need for more gun control ?

Never let a crisis go to waste.

"I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do this to others and I require the same from them"

I'm all for the debate.  Let's start with the NFA of 1934, and show how stupid and worthless it has been  >:(

I wonder if Vice President BiteMe would have the same opinion if there was talk of disarming his Secret Service detail.

Guns for me, but not for thee.

Bastards.
I love waking up every morning knowing that Donald Trump is President!!
