We only have Zimmerman's word about what was said.
What was said will never be known unless you have a way to wake the dead.
It wasn't important as to the finding of fact demanded by the Court/Florida Legal System.
Ever hear the comment, "the law is an Ass," DRX? Counts doubly so in the US.
Yes, I've heard it, but nothing you or I do will change the fact that the law is the law, & according to the law he was guilty of no infraction.

I still want to know how he managed to be beaten badly and still get a gun out and shoot Martin.

Quote:No training prepares you, I think for the shock of being attacked and physically being beaten DRX. If he was having his head beaten against the ground as claimed, Zimmerman would have been dazed and hurt. Sounds to me like he shot Martin after he'd been beaten, fair and square for something racist he'd said.

.........He's a free man today, enough said. He will have his guns till his final days unless he's convicted of a felony, goes certifiably insane, or commits & is convicted of spousal abuse.
Trust has nothing to do with it. In the USA if the government doesn't trust you, if your neighbors don't trust you, if the police don't trust you, you can still walk into a gun store, pass a background search, throw down your cash, & walk out with a Glock.
In the USA firearm ownership is an Inalienable Right that can only be lost via extreme circumstances.
In the USA unless you are convicted of the charges I mentioned earlier, any American Citizen can own, carry, & if necessary use just about any firearm they wish to protect themselves.
These Constitutional Second Amendment Rights will not go easily by any means as I've said in earlier posts.
Disarming Americans will be next to almost impossible on a large scale.
The only sure fire way is to change/amend the Constitution, & that process is weighed heavily in the Right holders favour.
Then you are still faced with 100+ million Americans who respect authority to a degree, but the majority will not hand over a single buckshot without shots being fired.
