@neiltyson I keep waiting for just ONE NRA-type to say “if Trayvon Martin had had a gun, he might be alive today.”

@larsolsson@neiltyson Most NRA types don't support Zimmerman making such stupid choices as to put himself in that situation to start with. -
@ucs_dave@neiltyson They usually raise the point about how being armed might’ve prevented crime. Not this time, though. Odd, that.#not -
@larsolsson That only holds true when you're backed into a corner. Zimmerman put himself in that situation thought a series of bad choices. -
@ucs_dave Yes, he was dumb and put himself in a bad position. Can't expect him to say "oops, guess I'll just get beaten to death now." -
@Skooter138 Been my premise all along. At moment trigger was pulled it was probably necessary. But should never have gotten there. - 1 more reply

@neiltyson should stick to astrophysics. His interpretation and understanding of Florida law is cosmic.#georgezimmerman -
@LionelMedia@neiltyson You should stick to what appears like being invisible. - 1 more reply

@neiltyson What if someone is bashing your head into concrete? Does anyone have a right to save their own life? - 1 more reply

@neiltyson: Unlike Florida today, only if threatened by another Gun did "Wild West" codes of conduct allow you to shoot another person. - 1 more reply

@neiltyson Love all the people telling you to stick to science...astrophycists must live in vacuums, right?#Reality -
@Isotropica people are doing that? I told him he was great. -
@monicarooney They were. Apparently it's not cool for an intelligent man to speak up on a socio-political issue because THAT'S NOT COOL.

@neiltyson@pudcast245 In the "wild west" you couldn't bring your guns into town in most cases. They had stronger gun control measuresThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson It was also legal to dual to the death over an insult, Neil. Wanna go back to those days? -
@neontaster@neiltyson I guess GZ shoulda thought longer about "is this concrete my head is hitting gonna kill me?" -
@TurdJerguson I'm sure@neiltyson knows all about momentum and force. Head meets concrete - head gives. Thanks, Newton!
