A gun-shop owner said Zimmerman came in weeks after the Feb. 26 shooting and said "his life was in danger and he needs more guns."

He got at least one more: The day of his arrest April 11, FDLE agents found in his rental car a "cop killer" handgun, a Belgian-made semiautomatic pistol, capable of firing bullets at such high velocity that they can pierce body armor. He also had three magazines of ammunition.

Wonder how many more people he might have eventually shot if he hadn't been arrested.

Good to know.

2. Wonder if he is still raising money

For the Travon Martin Memorial Fund. Hope a huge civil suit is in the works.

3. How many guns does he think he can

shoot at the same time?

6. Well, that all depends

According to string theory, It's possible that George Zimmerman actually lives in a parallel universe that was created by the Wachowski Brothers, and is simply inter-transposed onto our own universe, where gun kata is a goofy action film gimmick and no more.

Possible. Not very probable. But possible.

7. Bwahahahaha!

He probably has that John Woo "flying through the air shooting two guns" dream.

8. Through a flock of white doves, no less n/t

5. I wonder if he was scared that the New Black Panthers were gonna get him.

They're EVERYWHERE you know. Obama's Army.

9. Of all the article, you pick that to quote?

It suggests that both you and the reporter don't know much about guns.

Yes, the FN Five-seveN "is capable" of firing armor-piercing ammo, are are all other guns. No, the ammo is not available for purchase. It is eye-catching though, right?

The real article title: "FBI interviews: No evidence Zimmerman a racist".

11. I was going to say.... Sounds like he was wasting money on a Five-seveN

Yes, it can fire special ammo designed to pierce body armor, but that ammo is restricted to military and law enforcement. Civilians can't get it.

10. Gun Addiction - It's Real.

It debilitates the addict and endangers us all.

12. A "cop killer" gun?

Why not just label it a puppy killing gun.

Both are equally accurate but why not turn the derp up to 11?

13. I have a friend named "Mr. Mossberg", but other than that I remain blissfully ignorant of the things

"cop killer" handgun is a new one to me!
