Gun Makes Men Look Taller And Stronger, Air Force Study Shows


With gun in hand, a man of any size appears bigger, an altered notion that probably occurs at a subconscious level, a new study suggests.

The research, funded by the U.S. Air Force, reveals a seemingly simple mechanism that was even in the brains of Neanderthals, and possibly common even to chimpanzees, to measure whether they would win or lose a fight with an aggressor.

"There's nothing about the knowledge that gunpowder makes lead bullets fly through the air at damage-causing speeds that should make you think that a gun-bearer is bigger or stronger, yet you do," lead study author Daniel Fessler, an associate professor of anthropology at UCLA, said in a statement. "Danger really does loom large — in our minds."

Kill yourself.

lol

seriously, the shoot was legal, i concede that.

but really, there's no denying he was violent (history of domestic violence and felony assault charge on a LEO)

there's no denying he was angry- he called trayvon vulgar names

there's no denying he violated the neighborhood watch rule of no guns.

there's no denying he chased an unkonwn person he considered a criminal into the darkness while packing heat.



To me.... all those things = bloodthirsty.

Kill yourself douche. Clearly you didnt read the article where the cleaned up and analzyed the audio and he said "fucking cold" (as it happened in a bad rain and cold).
He was driving his truck when he spotted him. He had his pistol. He has a concealed permit. He didnt violate anything. (pretty sure it came out he wasnt even neighborhood watch)
Everything you just said is assumption based on nothing but what you WANT him to be.
And half of your "facts" are dead fucking wrong. Youre not convincing anyone of anything when your opinion is based on lies because you just "know" what kind of man he was.  ::)

He also said ''fcking a-holes'' on the tape.

Zimm's lawyer said he was the CAPTAIN of the neighborood watch:

Ok, and? Are you insinuating that he should never carry because at any moment he may have to rip his disguise off and turn into "neighborhood watch man"?
Dude has a CWP and wasnt actively on watch. He was driving his truck and he was carrying, just like anyone else that has a CWP. He stopped because he saw a suspicious person.
Not like he went and got his gun to chase the man, or went out onto watch with his firearm.
He had no intent to for you to make the assumption he was bloodthirsty. Just another assumption and bullshit propoganda to try and validate your opinion of a man you know nothing about.

This was the addended version of the events that his brother went on TV and tried to sell, along with a lof of other stuff.

I tend to believe the initial reports much more than the highly biased account from his brother. 

it's a lot more damaging if he was working as a watchman when this happened.  So therefore his brother was very careful to include that.  Initial reports from the police report say he was working.  To me, the police are far less biased than his own brother trying to save his ass in the court of public opinion on some media rag tv show.

I never even read anything from his brother, so I have no fucking idea what you are talking about. Common sense should tell you that most people working neighborhood watch arent driving somewhere in their fucking truck.
Not to mention he never identified himself as watch. So again the facts are against you.

read about it - his brother went down the laundry list of "cover your brothers ass as the t-ball interviewer gives you an open platform to influence the juror pool.  nothing wrong with that, as msnbc and friends are painting zimm as a KKK member with a glock, wrongly...

but yeah, the initial police report was that he was patrolling and noticed dude up to no good.  His bro was covering his ass, somehing you or I would do for our btother too.  But "contradicting initial reports" means a lot lol

the very first response on your blog citation ::)

"+12 Once again Bob I see you parroting what someone else has posted. ..............

AND NOW FOR THE REST OF THE STORY.......

The neighborhood watch that Zimmerman was self appointed captain of....(are you ready for this?) ...WAS NOT A REGISTERED NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH and therefore your post becomes utter BS as the rule you are referring to is the National Sheriffs Assoc. guidelines and Zimmermans neighborhood watch was (one more time) NOT REGISTERED WITH ANY AUTHORITY AS A NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH. The police did give him some guidelines but that was it"

The second

"The question is completely invalid, because it's very premise is false. Zimmerman did NOT carry the gun illegally. Neighborhood watch guidelines are not law, and they certainly do not trump state law regarding concealed carry. Zimmerman had a CCW permit, and wasn't even on duty as neighborhood watch. He was simply a concerned citizen who happened to also be a local NHW volunteer."

Who fucking cares what his brother said? Dude did NOT identify himself as neighborhood watch and it is said that he IS NOT a registered member of the neighborhood watch. Your whole argument is still based on fallacies.
