Even Zimmerman stopped after one shot. I cannot believe that the cops are making me defend Zpig.
I have only had one person point a gun directly in my face. It was a cop. I live in Alaska. Guns are as prevalent as weed. None of the open carry people on their marches have ever pointed a gun at me. And i yelled Boooooo as I drove by.
