On Sunday, liberal activist Jesse Jackson repeated his claim that semi-automatic weapons can shoot down airplanes and said they could also "blow up railroads."
“Semi-automatic weapons are not just about gun control, they’re about national security,” he said while appearing on Fox News.
“You know that these weapons can shoot down airplanes, they can blow up railroads. This is really a whole national security issue,” he added.
Jackson said he was okay with having a gun for the house, or a gun for hunting.
“But these semi-automatic, military-style assault weapons -- they shot at the White House two years ago, so none of us are safe,” he added.

Is he heading for what his son just suffered . . . ?
what a dork

Yeah, that was a shame, wasn’t it?
Holy Cow!

Surface of the moon? Amateur. That hole in the ozone? All me.
Jupiter’s Red Spot. And that wasn’t even with my .88 magnum.
yup those assault weapons are powerful, get enough piled on Guam for our Marines and it might tip over...
LOL
Saturn’s rings. .44 Magnum.
Jessie, is this what your latest mistress is telling you? I have one piece of advice: Don’t listen to her.
“There use to be a time when people that stupid would keep their mouth shut rather than proving how ignorant they were.”
For Jesse and his ilk, ignorance is power. Think about it, what keeps him and the rest of the race pimps in green; it ain’t education.

2. Assault rifles can cause excessive hair growth in certain breeds of dogs.
LOL.
