Jesse Jackson owes an apology to three Black men in Michigan for making them look like fools

The Rev. Jesse Jackson asked men this past Sunday - Fathers Day - to show up outside gun ranges and protest against them for the violence they cause.  Well, indirectly.  You see, according to Jackson, the gun ranges stifle the creation of jobs, which in turns causes urban violence.  It's the old "poverty breeds crime" canard which, if it is true, we can't trust poor people to discipline themselves so we might as well round them up and exterminate them.

But - the gun ranges!  Evidently, their very presence is adequately menacing to frighten any decent human or comapny from operating a business within five miles of one.

True fact:  when I lived in Southern California, I would go shooting at Firing Line in Huntington Beach.  Located in a lovely eucalyptus tree-lined business park, it was surrounded by light manufacturing, offices, and - just around the corner from its location in the park - a Christian church.


Or Eight Miles.  Jackson targeted Action Impact due to its proximity to Eight Mile, a road that Detroit claims divides the Blacks (poor and noble) from the Whites (rich and blood-sucking).  Except . . .

The dirty little secret is that there are no operating gun ranges within the geographical borders of Detroit. He obviously chose Action Impact because it is located just outside the city of Detroit border. Thusly, the entire premise of Jackson’s anti-gun campaign has been proven to be false. As mentioned earlier, there are no gun shops in Detroit. So, where are the jobs?
And then, hilarity ensued . . .

Moreover, Jackson’s so-called rally at the Action Impact gun range did have an unintended effect. He actually brought the so-called divided people - whites and blacks - together to mount a counter-protest. Jackson’s designated minion, the Operation Push Detroit Chairman, and two other people doubling as props were given a most proper reception from about 50 freedom and gun loving folks of all hues.

So Jackson had three - count 'em, three! - protesters outside this gun range where they were met by 50 people - Blacks and Whites - who were there to support the gun range.  And Jesse himself was a no show.

Jesse owes someone an apology.

All I can say is thank God the larger group were the gun owners who, supporting a range where gun safety and operation are taught and practiced, were likely responsible and law-abiding people.  Thus, those three dupes of Jesse's were the safest they've ever been.

Look at these "gun nuts" - I'd like any one of them as a neighbor.

On a happy note . . . my Tennessee carry permit came in the mail!  That means I can now carry my handgun - concealed or not - in places where allowed (not allowed are bars serving only alcohol, courthouses, schools, state parks, and private businesses where notice is posted - however, restaurants with bars, national parks, Walmart, and Dollywood are all fair game).
