Rev. Jesse Jackson on CNN Friday morning was asked to defend Chicago’s gun ban in face of the evidence that 500 homicides occurred in the city over the course of the year.

Drugs & Guns, wow, I bet BOTH are ILLEGALLY USED,, He says that these Criminals think that KILLING IS THE ONLY WAY OUT!! Out of What!!!! Yeah, let me kill someone, and I can become better and richer for that,,, Now, How Stupid is Jesse Jackson,,, VERY STUPID! He can’t even Answer a Simple Question about Chicago being one of the Strictest on Gun Laws, and the 500 Homicides, he can’t even answer the Question…
Most of owe killings are black on black crime, nut you don’t see the outrage you saw when George Zimmerman defended himself from a brutal attack by one of those punks in Florida.
Jesse (and Al not-so-Sharpton) have mad millions as communist race-gaiters.
It never ceases to amaze me that those guys have been able to hoodwink so many for so many years.
Keep giving guns and drugs to the boons, they are doing a great job killing each other
I still have not heard ONE person tell the public how gun control will stop mass murder or bring crime rate down. Never has..never will!!!
A weapon, arm, or armament is a tool or instrument used in order to inflict damage, harm or death to enemies or other living beings, structures, or systems. Weapons are used to increase the efficacy and efficiency of activities such as hunting, crime, law enforcement, and warfare. In a broader context, weapons may be construed to include anything used to gain a strategic, material or mental advantage over an adversary. Any instrument/object when used to cause bodily harm is an assault weapon. Water, sound, electricity can be also used as a weapon to assault.
I agree with background checks.
There were weapons, murders and killings long before there were guns.
A person could take 3 guns that hold only six rounds each and take out up to 18 people. How does banning assault weapons stop people from killing? It DOESN’T!!! All it does is cause a person to come up with another plan.
Do people really think that banning what will be determined as assault weapons would have stopped the killers from accomplishing their task or obtaining a gun on the black market? Banning assault weapons will make the price go up on the black market. There are people who cannot buy a gun legally yet they still have then m or know how to purchase one.
Realize how many of these mass killing are done by the mentally unstable, a person on drugs and end up killing themselves after their killing spree. So we blame the gun not the medication. Why not ban drugs that alter a person thought patterns.
They have our kids on drugs, because there are people who cannot handle parenting and the trials and tribulations that go with parenting
I think every US citizen should have a gun and law enforcement classes to teach people how to use them.
If the every teacher at the school had a gun and knew how to use them there would have been less people killed, because someone could have taken him out. If a person got the idea to go to a school and shoot people and he knew every teacher had a gun and was trained on how to use them I am sure he would pick another place where no one had a gun.
Some say have an armed guard at every school. The guard cannot be at more than one place at a time. If the guard is at the front of the school and the shooter enters from the back or side door the guard cannot get to where the shooter is in time to stop him. If you rely on law enforcement it takes them a certain amount of time to get to the crime scene
People ask the question: Why does a person need these type of guns. They have them because they want them and have the right to own them. Just because they own them does not mean they are going to go out and kill people
If assault weapons were were banned it would not have stopped him. Maybe slowed him down. A person does not need an assault weapon to commit mass murder!

To say banning assault weapons will stop mass murders or stopping a person from killing is ridiculous!!!
So the guy walks in with a ninja’s sword and starts hacking kids heads off or learns how to make a chlorine gas bomb and tosses it in the window.The nutjob will find a way! A guy in china slashed and killed 28 kids in a school with a knife. So yes,if someone is determined to do evil they will do evil with whatever method they can get their hands on. That is the reality of it.
BTW, did you know the ACLU prevented his mother from institutionalizing him
A Connecticut mental health bill was recently defeated, because the ACLU said the bill would infringe on patients’ privacy rights.
That bill was defeated by the same vermin on the left who are trying to take your guns away.
There have been over 12 shootings within the past 4 years. Why all of a sudden is the number of shootings on the increase and the time frame getting closer together? Could it be these shooters were hypnotized, put into a trance or programmed to do what they did and to kill themselves after they accomplished the act. What if one of the shooters were captured alive; Be interesting to see what would be uncovered.
I still want some one to explain how gun control will stop mass murder or bring crime rate down. YOU CAN’T!!!!
Control……it has nothing to do with anything except control….same as Obamacare….nothing to do with medicine, but population control…..without guns there is no limit to Obama’s plan to take us into a Muslim socialist world that he envisions as a panacea for all the evils in the world…..Well, look at all the Muslim countries…aren’t they wonderful? Somalia, Iran, Iraq, and on….really wonderful places to raise a family–you know, green lawns, school plays, McDonald’s…That’s where he wants to take us…Don’t know why Michelle is standing still for this, let alone the Americans.
Like I’ve said a million times before ole Jackson or Sharpton will NEVER let racism die they would have to give up their life of luxury. What loser scumbags all of those ole black agitators are!!!
A CNN newsperson (and black) putting such a question to that racist Jackson? Are we witnessing a miracle of evolving change from the liberal/socialist/Marxist mindset of the MSM?
Joseph,
Imcantbwatch the flash videomon my iPad, so I don’t know what the question was, but I doubt that the communist news network is turning away from the dark side (no pun intended).
Wow!! Have to commend that particular CNN reporter! He did a good job, and as usual, Jackson evaded answering the question. However, I will have to agree w/ Jackson on one thing (oh, Lord, agreeing w/ Jackson) people need jobs. Chicago is a perfect case in point – gun control laws do not work – just like Prohibition didn’t work. People will get guns, just like they got booze then, and illicit drugs now. Wake up.
The Main Stream Commie Propaganda Ministry Media will not carry this story, you can re-post instead.
There was a Massacre (NOT) Because of a good guy with a gun stopping a bad guy with a gun in San Antonio 2 days after the CT massacre, check it out. A murderer killed someone in a restaurant and ran into a theater next door and started shooting, but a cop, a woman off duty pulled her gun and shot him 4 times in the Chest before he could hurt anyone…. Why is the Main Stream Goebbels Propaganda Ministry Media absolutely mum on this? Because they are the Obama’s Propaganda Ministry Media, and Old Joe Goebbels would be proud of this new Hitler in Chief.

Jackson couldn’t answer the question because he knows he has nothing to support gun control. He is a blocker black and not a helper black. He also has a criminal background so who can believe anything he says or supports. Blacks have been brainwashed and are too ill-educated to grasp the fact that liberals and Demos are against them, and not for them. Until they wake up, get educated, and change their mindset, they will continue to kill each other and anyone else. Sad fact. Chicago has always been corrupt and I don’t see how it can correct that problem. Stop visiting that city long ago, even though I had relatives living there enclosed in their own little world because afraid to go out into the “city”. NY, Chicago, Detroit, LA and SF are long gone as worthwhile places to visit or live. Wake up, Americans, these cities were lost long ago and liberals are too stupid to recognize that fact and too stupid to change their thinking or actions. We have to take back America because they don’t love our country, just their stupid and ignorant ideology.
Both Jacksons and Al Sharpton dont care what they ‘steal’ from corporations… as long as they dont get caught… Maybe they should through a ‘pity’ party for Jesse Jr.. he learned well from his Daddy……….. if you can’t get it honestly… steal it..
