Jessie Jackson calls for ban on Semi-Auto rifles; Claims refuted by Firearms Instructor

Malcom X with .30 Cal M1 Cabine

 Back in the 1950's/60's, when Blacks formed NRA "Gun Clubs" to keep murderous Klan Riders at bay using war surplus Semi-Auto M1 Carbines, Jackson had no problem with self-defense semi-automatic firearms as he rode the coat-tails of MLK and it was his hide at stake. These days, any opportunistic political bandwagon he can exploit to raise his public profile, no matter how misbegotten, is his stock in trade. Flatulating the tyranny based talking points (lies) of the semi-auto gun ban agenda organizations (with the help of anti-gun media propaganda "news" reports like this one, misrepresenting semi-autos as machine-gun "assault rifles". This one, at least has a refutation from the other side, albeit using the most inflammatory rhetoric they could coax out of him), Jackson is now in favor of peaceable Black citizens being unarmed defenseless victims of street terrorists and criminals of any sort: Just the opposite of what is needed in crime ridden neighborhoods (and ignoring the fact that Klan minded racists are still lurking and working out there). The man is a contemptible and dangerous irrelevant buffoon. I've said it before and will say it again: "Anyone who insists on you being an unarmed victim is not your friend, no matter how pretty their speeches may be".  Of all people, you would think, having witnessed in person the exploded skull of MLK by an assassin's bullet, he would know better.  I suppose when you travel 24/7 with armed bodyguards, your perspective changes. With him, it's all about the roar of the sheeple crowd and how much cash he can profit from them, while he enables more bodies to hit the floor with his anti-self defense mumblings...(S9)


 Jackson calls for ban on assault rifles

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson called...for banning assault rifles...the former presidential candidate supported the right of Americans to use guns to hunt or defend their homes, but "assault weapons are in another zone," he said. "These guns threaten our security."...Jackson called them "military weapons" that the public should not have access to. "Police check them out and check them in."...
a National Rifle Association firearms instructor and competitive pistol shooter, said Jackson should "take a course in U.S. history, and maybe he can pay attention this time."
During the American Revolutionary War, "the musket was the so-called assault rifle of its day," he said.
These so-called assault weapons helped ensure our nation's freedom, he said. "Second Amendment rights are not hunters' rights or sportsmen's rights."...Asked why the public should have access to assault rifles, he said, "When trouble happens and seconds count, police are minutes away. I have an assault rifle for the same reason I have a fire extinguisher in the house. "During the 1992 Los Angeles riots, some Korean shop owners stood on the rooftops of their stores and kept looters at bay, he said. "That's why we have the right to bear arms. When society breaks down, maybe you need an AK-47."...Jackson shared statistics about violence on America's streets. So far, more than 6,500 U.S. soldiers have died in the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts, "but we're losing 30,000 Americans a year to gunfire," he said...
