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.
All current model AKM rifles can mount under-barrel 40 mm grenade launchers such as the GP-25 and its variants, which can fire up to 20 rounds per minute and have an effective range of up to 400 metres.
How many planes regularly fly under 400 meters? Other then crop dusters?
Lol, I’m gonna have to try that next time a predator drone flies over my house.
How High Planes Fly
Planes equipped with jet engines fly at greater altitudes than propeller-driven aircraft. These include commercial flights, cargo jets and even private passenger jets. The air traffic control tower usually assigns a cruising altitude of up to 39,000 feet, but long flights are typically assigned higher altitudes. By keeping these planes at assigned altitudes, air traffic control creates invisible stacked highways in the sky, keeping enough air space between the flights. Air traffic control may change an aircraft’s altitude assignment as needed. Most general aviation planes use propellers and must cruise at lower altitudes. For example, a Cessna Skyhawk has a maximum operating altitude of 13,500 feet. Planes that fly at higher altitudes must have pressurized cabins to keep the pilots and passengers safe and comfortable. The pressure and oxygen levels inside the cabin are set to correspond with those experienced at up to 7,000 feet.
his face is sliding off his head my guess would be that even his face knows what a bag of c**p he is
so can 22S idiot
Really Dumb Ass
His brain is either not functioning because of a stroke or he’s just a plain idiot. When he was on with Megan Kelly about a week ago he claimed we could get surface to air missiles by ordering them online. lolololo
Why do you let him speak?
Roger Giffen exactly! I think Jackson was thinking of airliners, which means he wasn’t thinking at all!
There’s that lie again. This man is a dumb bell.
