Jesse Jackson Wants Teenage Mothers to be Defenseless Against Thugs
Jackson's Chicago-based Rainbow PUSH Coalition is supporting a ban on assault weapons, while challenging both legislation that would allow open carry of guns in Oklahoma and a current law that lets residents in that state use deadly force when necessary to protect themselves against death or great bodily harm. The February shooting death of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin by a neighborhood watch volunteer in Florida has brought scrutiny to so-called stand your ground laws.
I don't think that shot-guns or pistols are considered assault weapons.

He's challenging the law that allowed the teenager to protect herself against two armed thugs.
The article doesn't say specifically what law, but I doubt that it is the one where you can shoot an intruder who breaks into your home and threatens you there. I think the one he is challenging is the Stand Your Ground that came up in the Martin-Zimmerman case.

Jackson is opposing Oklahoma's open carry AND Oklahoma's self defense laws as well as a ban on assault weapons.

He is wanting to ban assault weapons while at the same time allowing people to defend themselves. Do you realize that most weapons people have are considered assault weapons to the antigun people.
What Jackson is doing is supporting two opposing views.
No. He apparently is wanting to stop people from defending themselves.

Sorry Pfanzer, I went back and edited my post. I was misreading something and realized that what I posted was in error.
