There seems to be a common misconception among liberals, when it comes to “assault” weapons and what they’re capable of. Much like their views on politics, their knowledge of guns is based on fictional ideas that have no ground in reality. For example, during the July 10 airing of Fox News Sunday, the always wise Jesse Jackson made the outlandish claim that AK-47s cam take down airplanes.
Perhaps in Call of Duty or one of the many outlandish Jason Statham films, but definitely not in real life. If that were the case, there would be far more American planes crashing down over the Middle East. The Civil Rights activist and former democratic presidential candidate began his discussion by criticizing “military-style weapons on the streets.” If you take into account that the military uses many different weapons and that any gun can resemble something used by the military, if “military-style weapons” were removed from the streets, there wouldn’t be any weapons left.
And that’s exactly what the left wants.
Read what else Jackson said on the next page.
It is nearly impossible to hit an flying aircraft from the ground with small arms. It is even more difficult to de serious damage to an aircraft in this way.
At 350 meters a round from AK-47 has half its initial velocity and one fourth the kinetic energy.
what an asshole
Jesse, your ignorance is showing! how embarrassing …
Old, Old, Old News! Nothing new to report??
WOW
Your an idiot
So what you going to do sir, have your racist BLM, and this New Black Panthers, start shooting at all type of aircraft ? Have you not heard that times silent is golden , and your suppose be a minister and not really take sides, but you have…..
They can bring you down with the butt end
Low level around airfields, yes
Sounds as if he’s suggesting it.
Mercy Jesse, take a deep breath and have a cold beer ?
