Buckeye Firearms Foundation will raise funds to buy Zimmerman a new firearm, holster, flashlight, and anything else he needs…
DELAWARE, OH – According 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.”
“We find this action outrageous,” said Jim Irvine, President of Buckeye Firearms Foundation. “Whatever you think about the case, Mr. Zimmerman was tried in a court of law and found not guilty. And now all evidence should be returned to the rightful owners, including Mr. Zimmerman’s firearm.
“He is a free man and, as a citizen of the United States, he should be able to exercise all his rights, including his Second Amendment rights, which includes owning and carrying a firearm. This phoney ‘hold’ on evidence is just an underhanded ploy by the Department of Justice to punish Zimmerman because some people don’t like the verdict.”
Irvine says that since the DOJ won’t return Zimmerman’s firearm, Buckeye Firearms Foundation will raise funds to buy him a new firearm, holster, flashlight, and anything else he needs.
“We’re calling this the Zimmerman Second Amendment Fund,” continues Irvine. “We’ll raise whatever funds we need for Mr. Zimmerman and we’ll set aside the rest to address future assaults on the Second Amendment rights of American citizens.”
