It seems like George Zimmerman’s answer to every situation
is to pull a gun.
Months after being acquitted for the murder of Trayvon
Martin, just yesterday Zimmerman was accused of threatening his soon-to-be ex-wife,
and admitted perjurer, Shellie, with a gun.
Police were called to the home owned by Shellie Zimmerman's
parents, David and Machelle Dean, after Shellie called 911 claiming George
Zimmerman had a gun and was making threats:
"He’s in his car and he continually has his hand on his gun and he keeps saying 'step closer' and he’s just threatening all of us."
Shellie also says Zimmerman “punched my dad in the nose, my
dad has a mark on the nose. I saw his glasses were on the floor. … He then
accosted my father then took my iPad out of my hands. He then smashed it and
cut it with a pocketknife, and there is a Lake Mary city worker across the
street that I believe saw all of it."
But then, hours later, Shellie — who has plead guilty to
committing perjury — changed her story and said she never saw a firearm. George
Zimmerman is accusing Shellie Zimmerman of being the aggressor in the conflict.
Mark O'Mara, the media whoring attorney who is now suing the
state of Florida to have the people pay Zimmerman’s legal bills, said the argument
stemmed over Shellie moving out of the family home. Zimmerman wanted to move on
Monday and emotions "bubbled" over when he walked in on Shellie packing
her things. O'Mara also said George, who
did not threaten Shellie’s father with a gun, was, in fact carrying a gun that
day, but that it was holstered under his shirt and stayed there the whole time.
Too bad that didn’t happen the day he murdered a
seventeen-year-old boy, and for the record, No, I will not let that one go.
But I am pretty sure that Zimmerman, who has been stopped
twice by police for speeding, and now this ALLEGED
incident, will continue to be in trouble with law enforcement, and that,
like OJ Simpson — who also got away with murder — he’ll one day be arrested for
something else and sent to jail. It’s only a matter of time for a man who carries a gun like an accessory,
because you don’t carry a loaded weapon if you have no intention of using it.
Now, howsabout another crazy gun story, this one
out of Iowa?
In a move that leaves me scratching my head in amazement at
the stupidity that abounds where guns are concerned, the state of Iowa will
begin issuing gun permits to the blind.
The new permits will allow legally blind applicants to
purchase weapons and carry them in public because of some legal loophole in
Iowa which states that any attempt to deny an Iowan these rights based on
physical ability would be illegal.

One of those legally blind applicants, Michael Barber was at
a gun store recently and said this:
"When you shoot a gun, you take it out and point and
shoot, and I don’t necessarily think eyesight is necessary.”
Yes, the state of Iowa will be allowing a man who doesn’t
think you need to see to shoot a gun in public the right to do so.
The issue has local sheriff—the authorities who will be reviewing
the applications—a little confused. Delaware County Sheriff John LeClere, "If you see nothing but a blurry mass in front of you, then I
would say you probably shouldn't be shooting something.”
File that in the Duh file.
Another sheriff, Counters Cedar County Sheriff Warren
Wethington, who has a legally blind daughter, says “If sheriffs spent more
time trying to keep guns out of criminals’ hands and not people with
disabilities, their time would be more productive.”
I wonder if a blind criminal is allowed to have a gun.
Imagine Stevie Wonder with a gun?
Now, that may seem like a bad joke, but last January, shortly
after the Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting, Wonder offered his thoughts on
gun control: “Imagine me with a gun. It’s
just crazy.”
But not in Iowa, I guess.
