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.

    Sitting here, looking through my copy of the Constitution, I have yet to find a "right to hunt". Maybe Jesse can enlighten us.
