The Mote, the Beam and the Elephant

The mote he focuses on:

Jesse Jackson was one of the few willing to come out and say he wants to ban all guns except bolt-action rifles, shotguns and revolvers. 

The beam he avoids:

...97 percent of all shooting suspects in the city were black or Latino...

The elephant in the room he dares not speak of:

And we also can't forget to look at race--not as a cause of violent crime, but as an indicator of populations most directly affected by and responsive to a continuing history of destructive government policies.

 ...because that would expose him for the profiteer that he's always been.
