George Zimmerman, the self-appointed neighborhood watch captain who stalked and then killed the unarmed Trayvon Martin in 2013, has now for the third time been arrested for aggravated assault with a weapon in a domestic violence situation.
At his pretrial hearing in court yesterday, he was ordered to "surrender any weapons." But, according to the CNN website, he is only required to surrender the weapons "to a relative or a third party." How well is that going to work? Sounds pretty temporary to me.
It's true, he was acquitted of murder charges, but it was never in doubt that he did actually kill Trayvon Martin. He got off by claiming self-defense in a case that was handled very poorly by the prosecutors.
So he is not, in fact, a convicted felon and has not lost his right to bear arms.
But it seems wrong and dangerous to allow this man, who has already killed one man and who has such obvious problems of impulse control to continue to own and carry guns -- and just wait until he kills someone else.
