We’re buying ZIMMERMAN a NEW GUN Despite Eric Holder and the U.S. DOJ

The Justice Department has placed a ‘hold’ on trial evidence, including George Zimmerman’s firearm.

Ohio –-(Ammoland.com)- Buckeye Firearms Foundation is raising funds to buy Zimmerman a NEW GUN and fight attacks on the Second Amendment.

Whatever you might think about the Zimmerman verdict, the fact remains that we are a nation of laws, not mob justice.

George Zimmerman was tried in a court of law and found NOT GUILTY. And that entitles him to continue exercising all his rights, including his Second Amendment right to own a firearm.

But now Eric Holder and the U.S. Justice department have stepped in to stop Zimmerman from taking possession of his property.

Here’s the story from the Daily Mail:

The U.S. Department of Justice, overseen by Attorney General Eric Holder, has ordered the Sanford, Florida police department to keep possession of all the evidence from George Zimmerman’s second-degree murder trial – including the exonerated neighborhood watch volunteer’s gun.

Sanford police confirmed on Thursday that the DOJ asked the agency not to return any pieces of evidence to their owners. Zimmerman was expected to get his firearm back by month’s end.

The development is a sign that the criminal section of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division is seriously investigating Zimmerman to determine if federal civil rights charges should be filed.

This is outrageous. Mr. Holder is this nation’s chief law enforcement officer. It is his job to uphold the laws, to support and defend our system of justice.

This move to prevent Mr. Zimmerman from claiming his property is an unacceptable abuse of power. And the threats of federal charges on civil rights grounds is little more than blatant pandering for political gain.

Moreover, based on statements he and others have made recently, Holder hopes to use this as the first step toward renewing this administration’s attack on gun rights.

To be fair to all concerned, we have remained silent on the Zimmerman trial. We allowed the evidence to unfold and the justice system to run its course. Now the jury has spoken and that should be the end of the matter.

George Zimmerman has every right to get his property back.

And if Eric Holder chooses to deny Mr. Zimmerman that right, Buckeye Firearms Foundation will remedy the matter by purchasing a NEW FIREARM for him, including a holster, flashlight, and any other gear he wants.

This is about more than mere principle. Zimmerman and his family now face daily threats on their lives. More than ever, he has a right to defend himself against those who would seek to do him harm.

Gun owners must stand together and refuse to allow an injustice like this to go unanswered. If we choose to sit idly by while the full force and weight of the federal government descends upon a free man, it will embolden others to take liberties with our rights.

We know what some will say about this. We know we will be reviled for taking this stand. Our motives will be impugned and our words will be twisted. But that happens already. Those who work against our rights will always do this. It hasn’t stopped us before and it won’t stop us now.

We have created the Zimmerman Second Amendment Fund. We encourage you to donate whatever you can afford, $100 … $50 … $25 … even just $10. We will provide Mr. Zimmerman, who has no current source of income, with the funds he needs to replace his firearm, holster, and other gear. The rest will be set aside to fight similar injustices … and they happen all the time.

Tried to go to the donor site, but there’s a problem with it. I’d like to donate.
Thanx

I’d like to see them raise enough money for Mr. Zimmerman to afford a nice Kimber Pro Carry, holster, extra magazines, flashlight, night vision, and other equipment he can legally carry.

Give any leftover money to him to help with defense costs of the civil suit which is soon to follow.

What are they going to do with all the extra money they raise? If they buy him the same gun, a Kel-Tec PF-9, that’s only about $300.

@Dave They are going to give him the money to purchase a weapon. He can still do that. And it the DOJ holds up his process, lawsuit..

Dave

Every time I fill out the paperwork for a new gun I’m reminded that it’s illegal to purchase a firearm for someone else. How do you plan to get around that restriction?

If they couldn’t get a murder conviction with a stacked court (Zimmerman’s team wasn’t allowed to present evidence that the kid was on a street drug called “lean”, among other things) then getting Zimmerman on a civil rights charge of any sort is going to be impossible, given the more stringent requirements to prove.
I hope they get Zimmerman something a lot nicer than that Kel-Tec.
