Pro-Gun Activist Calls Murder of Trayvon Martin “Population Control”

Joshua Chase

We have already published several blogs here at “Things Pro-Gun Activists Say” cataloging the disturbing comments that pro-gunners have made about Trayvon Martin since the 17-year-old was gunned down by concealed handgun permit holder George Zimmerman on February 26, 2012. Sadly, more than a month after the murder of this young man, pro-gun activists continue to direct these angry and offensive comments at the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (CSGV).

Population Control CommentOne of the pro-gun blogs we heard from is “Guns for Everyone.” They made their feelings patently clear to us on Twitter, stating, “#zimmerman = population control…… #dealwithit.” Guns For Everyone was created by pro-gun activist Joshua Chase of Atlanta, Georgia.

That was just the warm-up, however. They later directed another Tweet at CSGV and former Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence president Paul Helmke from Oklahoma pro-gun activist Dustin “guns get shit done” Gerhart, where Gerhart bragged about buying a gun through a private sale in a parking lot. Private sellers are not required to conduct background checks nor maintain records of sale under Oklahoma law-these transactions are totally unregulated by government and law enforcement. “whatchu think bout that nigga!” Guns for Everyone asked us.Guns for Everyone Comment

Then there was pro-gunner Donald David Dalby III, who posted the following “joke” on the CSGV Facebook page: “I was going to kill some defenseless children. since, despite the 2nd amendment, guns are bad, what should I use? I have a 14″ machete, a led pipe, and a LugerP08 semi-automatic pistol. I’ll be sure to use one of the former two, since guns are bad and all.. suggestions?“Defenseless Children Comment

To pro-gun activist “Calvin Raven Eagle” from Atlanta, Georgia, the slaying of an unarmed Trayvon Martin came down to an issue of parenting. “PROSECUTE HIS PARENTS FOR NEGLIGENCE,” he wrote on the CSGV Facebook Wall.Prosecute His Parents Comment

Then there was Florida pro-gun activist and conservative businessman “Subnetted,” who wanted us to know he was getting drunk and thought Trayvon deserved to die. In the word of his Tweet to us: “Drunk at the bar with sexy girlfriend, life is good. P.S. #OWS are dirty. #Trayon deserved it. What else? @CSGV are retarded. And yes #tcot.” Needless to say, for the parents and family of Trayvon Martin, life is anything but good today.

Subnetted CommentBut the most offensive contribution came from a pro-gun activist going by the pseudonynm, “Gi Vemeaclip,” who we have discussed on this blog before. He posted a “Trayvon Tribute” video to our Wall that he created under the YouTube account 1BoredKidProductions.It speaks for itself, and is nothing short of disgusting.
