They also wanted to interview him because of tweets he had made the day before offering to buy George Zimmerman a new firearm. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BradThor\/status\/358075735241523200\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thor was furious<\/a> that the Department of Justice had impounded Zimmerman&#8217;s Kel-Tec PF-9.<\/p>\n<p>As recounted in The Blaze, Thor had some testy exchanges with the interviewers who were somewhat aghast that he&#8217;d offer to buy Zimmerman a new gun.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i>A show panelist asked whether \u201cit\u2019s really a good idea to give George Zimmerman a gun back?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s not guilty!\u201d Thor said. \u201cAnd as a matter of fact don\u2019t you think he needs a gun now more than ever with all the death threats against him?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Co-host Val Warner questioned why Zimmerman would \u201ceven risk going through the same thing again\u201d if he had another gun.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s his decision, Val, it\u2019s not for us to decide if we\u2019re going to curtail his liberty or not, that is his Second Amendment right to possess a firearm, defend himself, defend his family, and it is not up to you, it\u2019s not up to me, to decide what\u2019s right for George Zimmerman. He\u2019s an American citizen, he gets to decide what\u2019s right for him,\u201d Thor said.<\/p>\n<p>Warner said it could be Zimmerman\u2019s decision \u201cafter everything is over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen\u2019s it over? How much more does he have to go through?\u201d Thor said. \u201cThere\u2019s not a shred of evidence that he is a racist and yet the Department of Justice is freezing <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I know from past interviews that Thor is a gun guy.&nbsp; More importantly, I like his willingness to stand up for what is right.
