Why Isn't NRA Arguing Trayvon Martin Tragedy Could Have Been Averted if Only He Had a Gun?

Sometimes, silence is much more revealing than those words actually spoken. Such is the case with respect to how the NRA has responded to the George Zimmerman verdict: with virtual silence.
One might expect the NRA to respond to Trayvon Martin's death by calling upon young, black men across this country to arm themselves, since the only way to truly protect oneself from the threat of violene in this country is to own a firearm. To exercise one's Second Amendment right.
After all, that's how it's responded to any number of shootings in which white people have been killed in mass shootings.
Of course, by expect, I mean the opposite, an ironic point made by a Tweet yesterday from Anonymous:
