Politics - Americans Back Ban on Semi-Automatic Guns (Huh?)
Guess I must have missed the memo.
From the article below: "Earlier this month, African American leader Jesse Jackson discussed the current state of affairs, saying, "We should revive our ban on semi-automatic weapons. You only use them to kill people."
OK, if we can fool with the 2nd Amendment, then we should be able to fool with the 1st Amendment to prevent stupid statements like the above...

April 24, 2008
(Angus Reid Global Monitor) - Many adults in the United States believe a specific kind of weapon should be forbidden, according to a poll by Knowledge Networks released by the Associated Press and Yahoo. 55 per cent of respondents support a law requiring a nationwide ban on semi-automatic handguns, which automatically re-load every time they are fired.
In addition, 77 per cent of respondents think people in their community should be allowed to keep handguns in their homes.
The U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment guarantees Americans the right "to keep and bear arms." Some American states have enacted their own gun control regulations, independent of existing federal legislation.
Earlier this month, African American leader Jesse Jackson discussed the current state of affairs, saying, "We should revive our ban on semi-automatic weapons. You only use them to kill people."

What real gets me Is Jesse Jackson, he cant make up his mind if his African or an American. He doesn"t have an African accent, But he says he's African. So if he doesn't like things here in America then why doesn't he go back to Africa,
Oh I'm sorry I forgot its a third world country and most of the population is poor and starving and hacking each other to death with machetes. Except for the thugs that are backed by the Dictatorship"s that control most of the African Nations. They get there hands on all the weapon's they want.
Take all the the gun's away from the law abiding people then the only one's that will have gun's are the goverment and the crooks and it will be hard to tell the two apart.
