After George Zimmerman was acquitted and told he could re-claim any property confiscated as evidence in the case, including his gun, the U.S. Justice Department stepped in and said not so fast.
At that point, author Brad Thor tweeted an offer to buy Zimmerman a new gun.
Thor’s offer brought about some reaction such as this:

@BradThor Easy enough to boycott Brad Thor.

However, one tweeter took it a step further:
Why boycott @BradThor books like this person wants: https://t.co/y9643dbHUd, when you can burn them like this guy? pic.twitter.com/HVVo6QkHeU

Ah, capitalism:
@BradThor In order to get a good fire going you need to purchase about a case of books. Just saying.

Thor’s latest book is currently sitting atop the New York Times bestseller list.
