Cosby Says Guns, not Race, the Key Issue in Trayvon Martin Case CNN updated 10:52 PM EDT, Sun April 15, 2012 http://www.cnn.com/2012/04/15/us/bill-cosby-trayvon-martin/index.html . .(CNN) -- The race of Florida teen Trayvon Martin had less to do with his death than the fact that the neighborhood watch volunteer who killed him was carrying a gun, comedian Bill Cosby told CNN in an interview that aired Sunday.
. snip .Gun violence is personal to Cosby, one of the most successful African-American comedians and entertainers of his generation. His and wife Camille's only son, Ennis, was shot and killed while changing a tire off a Southern California freeway in 1997. Michael Markhasev, a Ukrainian-born immigrant, was convicted the next year of killing Ennis Cosby during an attempted robbery.
.Cosby said that he "used to have a gun," which he bought to "protect my family." He insists he has nothing against people having firearms in their homes to protect against intruders, but said he believes that being on the streets with a gun changes some people, making them bolder and more dangerous.
."When a person has a gun, sometimes their mind clicks that this thing ... will win arguments and straighten people out," he said.
