Today in 25 cities, shameless self-promoter Jesse Jackson is staging a gun-store protest. Jackson said the nationwide rallies would represent a grassroots effort to press state and federal legislators into passing “common sense” legislation to stem the flow of handguns and military-style automatic weapons.

Apparently Jackson is unfamiliar with the old saying, "Those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it."

Since 1792, "gun control" laws were designed to keep black people disarmed and helpless. Black persons, whether slave or free, had to have a license or a judge’s permission before they could carry a firearm in Florida and Delaware. For black people, guns were banned entirely in several states. Florida laws empowered white "citizen patrols" to invade and search blacks’ homes for guns or other weapons. None of these policies applied, of course, to white people.

This is the vision Jessie Jackson has for the future? This is the government he trusts to protect him?

In response to his short-sighted and indeed, suicidal, belief that "only the government should have firearms," we offer our latest "Repudiate and Humiliate" handbill below [click to see the image --ed.]: www.jpfo.org/handbill-jackson.jpg

In closing, we would like to point out another quote to Rev. Jackson: "It is criminal to teach a man not to defend himself when he is the constant victim of brutal attacks." - Malcolm X
