As if the not guilty verdict wasn’t heartbreaking enough for Trayvon Martin’s family and friends, it is now being reported that George Zimmerman could possibly get back the gun used to take the 17-year-old’s life in February 2012.
How can this happen? With a simple request from Zimmerman.
Under Florida laws, convicted felons are barred “from possessing “firearms, ammunition, or electric weapons or devices unlawful,” but because Zimmerman is not a convicted felon, he is allowed to keep his gun.
On Sunday, following the jury’s decision, the NAACP launched a MoveOn.org petition calling for civil rights charges against Zimmerman for the killing of Trayvon Martin.
What do you think about Zimmerman getting his gun back?
