Actor and comedian Bill Cosby believes George Zimmerman’s gun is responsible for killing Trayvon Martin. “When you carry a gun, you mean to harm somebody, kill somebody,” the Washington Times reports Cosby as saying. He said people trying to protect their neighborhoods from crime should not be armed. “We’ve got to get the gun out of the hands of people who are supposed to be on neighborhood watch,” he said. Since the killing, liberal elements of Congress and the establishment media have demanded the Second Amendment be rolled back and more restrictive gun laws put into place. Vice president Joe Biden said in late March that the “idea that there’s this overwhelming additional security in the ownership and carrying concealed and deadly weapons” is wrong. Biden favors more gun control laws, including closing the so-called “gun show loophole.” The National Rifle Association gave him an “F” for his gun control voting record when he was a Senator. Democrat Rep. Frederica Wilson and the Congressional Black Caucus are attempting to exploit the death of Trayvon Martin to push a resolution outlawing “Stand Your Ground” self defense laws. “The gun.” Those two simple words flowed easily from the mouth of social commentator Bill Cosby during an exclusive interview Friday regarding the Trayvon Martin case, arguably the most high-profile, citizen-on-citizen U.S. slaying facing the Obama administration. Trayvon was killed Feb. 26 in Sanford, Fla., by neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman, who told police that a “confrontation” with the unarmed 17-year-old led him to shoot in self-defense. Mr. Cosby, a Navy veteran, said “the gun” empowered Mr. Zimmerman, whose actions have stirred a firestorm of debate, protests and remarks from President Obama. “We’ve got to get the gun out of the hands of people who are supposed to be on neighborhood watch,” said Mr. Cosby, whose remarks were the first he has made publicly about the case. “Without a gun, I don’t see Mr. Zimmerman approaching Trayvon by himself,” Mr. Cosby explained. “The power-of-the-gun mentality had him unafraid to confront someone. Even police call for backup in similar situations. “When you carry a gun, you mean to harm somebody, kill somebody,” he said. An award-winning actor and great American humorist, Mr. Cosby, 74, is best know for the ground-breaking NBC sit-com “The Cosby Show,” stand-up routines and recorded performances, all of which are infused with familial humor. Scheduled to perform April 28 at the Kennedy Center, Mr. Cosby continues to grace multiple platforms, and is scheduled to tickle funny bones as co-emcee at the April 12 gala celebrating the reopening of the historic Howard Theatre in Northwest Washington. But it was at another celebration, the NAACP marking of the 50th anniversary of the landmark 1954 Brown v. Board of Education school-desegregation decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, that saw Mr. Cosby take a spot on the forefront of controversial social commentary. In his remarks at the 2004 event, Mr. Cosby pointed out to the audience that blacks had essentially created a new lower rung on the socioeconomic ladder by failing to police their children. Since then, he has traveled the nation and used social media to expound the virtues of personal accountability, responsible parenting and a sound education.
Poster Comment: If you follow that logic, the police and military are all cold blooded killers looking for their next victim. They have guns, so they all must be murderers. /s
