The resolution is completely pointless and is nothing more than political grandstanding and race-baiting. The purpose of Congress is not to override the decisions of local police departments.

Like most things in Congress, it's a healthy mix of grandstanding, opportunism, sanctimony, and condescension, with a small spice of actual legislation thrown in. Here, the actual legislation boils down to a) condemning SYG and encouraging its repeal (which does not translate into "no gun laws"; it could simply be replaced by something more moderate), and b) denouncing authorities for not pursuing a full investigation. Nothing particularly noteworthy.

I also object to the way you're characterizing (caricaturizing?) the left. As you put it on your blog, they "do not care about Trayvon Martin in the slightest. They just want to take away more and more of your freedom." Who are you to say how such people feel? Why do you consider yourself privy to the motivations of liberals- who, I'll remind you, seek to repeal SYG only because they believe it best for the country? These are the kind of senseless comments that have built up the insurmountable political wedge that divides this country, and I feel we'd all be best served by toning them down.
