re: #7 Second Amendment Renegation
My personal, pessimistic worst-case scenario:
Zimmerman walks (fairly inevitable at this point)
Somebody decides that will just not do and takes out some vigilante justice on Mr. Z, turning him into a hero and martyr to the SYG-supporter crowd, and ensuring that the law is not changed, except to strengthen it…
I hope I am wrong on this one.
Keep this in mind-The feds at The Justice Dept are not encumbered with the state statute.
