Sharpton said he will organize a protest against the NRA and gun manufacturers that will kick off with a rally at the influential lobbying group’s Washington headquarters next month.
“We need to get a real movement against those who get rich off the perpetuation of killing,” said the civil rights leader.
“The only purpose of assault weapons is for war,” Sharpton continued. “You don’t hunt with assault weapons. Nobody shoots down prey with so many bullets you couldn’t eat the prey.”
Of course these days when an anti-rights activist like Sharpton says “Assault Weapon” who knows what he’s talking about. Is he talking about Assault Rifles? Yeah well select fire guns are the most heavily regulated guns in America, and there hasn’t been a recorded criminal act with one in decades. Guns described in the 1994 “Assault Weapons Ban” are such “Weapons of War” that no military that I can think of issues a gun that meets that description.
And you don’t hunt with “Assault Weapons”? That’s odd, given that they’re rapidly becoming the most-used hunting rifle in America. They’re light, handy, available in a huge variety of calibers, and accurate to ranges most people hunt at.
Still, Rev, what does the 2nd Amendment say about hunting?
Of course Rev wants to take away our guns because some nuts abuse their rights harming others…kinda like a public speaker inciting a riot that killed 7 people.
Al Sharpton’s microphone, and TV show are weapons of war, and Reverend Al is getting rich off then killing!
As a Christian, I am told to love every person even as I would love Jesus Christ.
When it comes to Revrum Al, I am failing miserably. In his name, I love the sickle cell.
Rev Al loves everybody as much as Jesus…so long as they are black…and Liberal.
As a Non-Christian I have no issues with reserving my love against the more despicable among us. I don’t hate, and I don’t wish ill….but to say the good people of the world should be loved as much as the bad…sorry not my bag.
Let’s screw with him. Get him to go along with a gun ban that applies to blacks only since the majority of gun crime is black on black shootings. I mean…its to protect black people, right? And, according to his logic, disarming all blacks would be a good thing, right?
“Saying stupid thins”?
Al is a lot of things, most reprehensible, but thin is not one of them.
Rich
LOL! Typo fixed.
Tho to be fair Al has lost a TON of weight in the last ten years. Either he’s taking better care of himself, or he got a gastric bypass!
