Audio of Reverend Jesse Jackson speaking in Racine, Wisconsin was posted on YouTube Monday, where the activist describes a march on gun shops throughout the country happening this summer.
While Jackson can be difficult to understand on a good day, the audio recorded from the crowd is even harder to comprehend at times. However, the video does open with him saying “we going to be marching on gun shops.“ He also discusses the ”guns trail.” But the message is clearer after the crowd starts chanting with him.
“Guns out,” he says, “jobs in,” with the crowd repeating after him.
Jackson then proceeds to discuss an initiative happening in Chicago between July 10-14, though the details are difficult to make out, before saying: “June 16, we march, guns out, jobs in,” with the crowd repeating after every pause.
“November 6, November 6, November the 6th…” he repeats, “Obama, [four more] years,” as the crowd gives him a standing ovation.
Watch the video, below:
While the exact details for the march will likely be revealed in more open channels in the coming weeks, Katie Pavlich of Townhall.com made an interesting point on the matter.
“Jackson wants to get rid of the very thing that has kept the economy afloat during Obama’s presidency. The firearms industry has not only created jobs in the past three years but has also provided the government with a steady revenue stream,” she writes.
Pavlich proceeds to cite the National Shooting Sports Foundation (which has also been a source for the Washington Post), to detail the specifics:
Companies in the United States that manufacture, distribute and sell firearms, ammunition and hunting equipment employ as many as 98,752 people in the country and generate an additional 110,998 jobs in supplier and ancillary industries. These include jobs in companies supplying goods and services to manufacturers, distributors and retailers, as well as those that depend on sales to workers in the firearms and ammunition industry. [1]
These are good jobs, paying an average of $46,858 in wages and benefits. And today, every job is important. In fact, in the United States the unemployment rate has reached 8.2 percent. This means that there are already 13,430,000 people trying to find jobs in the state and collecting unemployment benefits. [2]
Not only does the manufacture and sale of firearms and hunting supplies create good jobs in the United States but the industry also contributes to the economy as a whole. In fact, in 2012 the firearms and ammunition industry was responsible for as much as $31.84 billion in total economic activity in the country.
[...]
Not only does the firearms and ammunition industry create jobs, it also generates sizable tax revenues. In the United States the industry and its employees pay over $2.07 billion in taxesincluding property, income, and sales based levies. [3]
Perhaps Jesse Jackson will clarify at the march how exactly putting “guns out” of the country will result in “jobs in,” as his catchy slogan claims.

We all know Jesse that you really mean is ‘guns out, black mobs move in’. Easier to loot & pilliage.
He knows if they start some sh* t, that his & Holders “people” will scatter like rats jumping off a sinking ship when the first shot is fired to quell their mob. So no please whitey, give up yo guns!

Same for the Remington plant here in our town.Gun Runners our biggest gun shop has added 4- 6 employees since they became a Class 3 dealer. They do classes for carry permits and have opened up a gun range for target prastice. With our new open carry law that goes into effect Nov. 1st the will have to hire some more folks.

I don‘t know single gun shop owner that doesn’t carry a sidearm and isn’t afraid to use it in self defense.

Posted on June 5, 2012 at 12:24pmI wish these anti-gun people would learn about guns before they go on these crusades. If you ask them, 90% of them have never used a gun, and 99% of them have never shot one more than one time.
And to Jackson; you can have my guns when you take them from me. Good luck taking them without guns. Oh wait…. that could be the point. Could it be, that those guns are what keeps people from taking stuff from me? Nah, that would never happen, because no one would ever do that. Except for Jackson, trying to take me guns from me.

Posted on June 5, 2012 at 12:33pm@ Serikfox….actually I think those anti-gun people with power have guns, it is those who blindly follow and the weak anti-gun people that don’t have guns…..after all, when they take the guns away from the law abiding owners then you take a way their ability to protect themselves. And when that happens then those “anti-gun” people with power will step in and have a field day.
Funny thing is I would bet everything I have that Jesse owns a gun or at least his security around him….and someone else already said it…in the lead photo they bet that everyone of them had a gun and 35 unregistered guns as well…..I second that.

Posted on June 5, 2012 at 12:23pmTop cities for gun control are New York, Chicago,Detroit, Washington DC and Boston. How many drive by shootings or street shoot outs occur in the five bregs?
The anti gun people are so transparent. They appeal to the uneducated masses where most of the illegal guns are and whrere most of the shootings occur. You don‘t heart much about black on black crime because it doesn’t interest Jackson and Sharpton, they can’t cry about the plight of the minority and the injustice of an crime committed (even is self defense its a crime because a white man did it) by any white man when a black is envolved.
Most of the people Jackson is preaching to will march on the gun shos and then loot them anyway.
