President milks Trayvon Martin death to push gun-control agenda

President Obama is milking Trayvon Martin’s death for all he can — first to  stir up racial division and now to get more gun-control laws. After the Florida  jury rightly decided that George Zimmerman was not guilty of murder when  defending himself against the teenager’s physical assault, Mr. Obama called for  overturning “stand your ground” laws in the states.

“If Trayvon Martin was of age and armed, could he have stood his ground on  that sidewalk? And do we actually think that he would have been justified in  shooting Mr. Zimmerman who had followed him in a car because he felt  threatened?” Mr. Obama asked rhetorically in an unscheduled appearance in the  White House Briefing Room on July 19. “And if the answer to that question is at  least ambiguous, then it seems to me that we might want to examine those kinds  of laws.”

The president also questioned whether these state laws “are designed in such  a way that they may encourage the kinds of altercations and confrontations and  tragedies that we saw in the Florida case, rather than defuse potential  altercations, if there’s a way for them to exit from a situation.”
