Jesse's Unintended Consequences

The Rev. Jesse L. Jackson called the recent spate of killings "domestic terrorism" and said he hoped the slaughter would be a wake-up call for policymakers.

"You can't grow businesses in war zones," said Jackson, who recently visited cities beset by gun violence. "You can't go to school in war zones. You can't play in the park in war zones." [More]
And those of us who keep an eye on such things know what Jesse's "solution" is. He wants to disarm those of us who have the means of defense--the ones who aren't initiating violence, and who want to be left alone.

You know, start a war with us.

Some nut in Alabama who was getting divorced killed his to-be ex, their daughter, two other relatives and then himself.

I heard that on the radio this morning after seeing the report of the CA shooting on TV.

Why is it after 8 years of relative quiet on the mass shootings front (yes, I know there were a few) are we seeing such a rash of them again?

It's almost too convenient for the blood dancers.

Mark my words. Ammunition is on the hit list far above firearms. Without bullets, our guns are nothing but well oiled clubs.

Crazy people feel validated when other crazy people cross the line they've been toeing for a long, long time.

War zones? When did Mr. Jackson serve in the military and experience being in a war zone? in war zones the other side usually shoots back.

Most leaders of organized religions are scam artists and parasites of society, telling people what they want to hear so that they will contribute to the preachers' causes.

And you can't grow business in a place where Jacksons' Rainbow Coalition shows up to shake a business down for all it can, based on Jacksons' assessment that racism has been a factor. Shakedown artist and disarmament creed. Hey, sounds just like.....Communism. He probably came up with the idea when he contentedly rolled off of one of his strumpets, and was thinking of a way to pay for his illegitimate offspring. Reverend indeed.
