    Trayvon Martin Case Analysis

    On the night of February 26, 2012, in Sanford, Florida, United States, George Zimmerman fatally shot Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old African American high school student. On April 11, 2012, George Zimmerman was charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. It was until Florida State Attorney Angela Corey announced the charges against Zimmerman that he decided to turn himself in to law enforcement. On July 13, 2013, the six-person jury rendered a not guilty verdict on all counts. 17 year old Trayvon Martin was a victim of an obvious hate crime that was caused by many prejudiced views towards the black community.

    District Of Columbia V. Heller Case Analysis

    I personally believe that the meaning of a “well-regulated militia” is when citizens are properly following the laws and abide the rules of bearing arms. Militia can be defined as, “An army composed of ordinary citizens rather than professional soldiers” according to Gary the Gun Nut’s post on Thomhartmann.com. In the District of Columbia v. Heller case, gun control was the purpose problem. The case resulted in protecting the “Second Amendment of an individual's right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home,...” in which was a 5-4 decision by the Supreme Court.…
