Semi-automatic weapons are not just about gun control, they're about national security. You know that these weapons can shoot down airplanes, they can blow up railroads. This is really a whole national security issue.

More quotes by Jesse Jackson
If you fall behind, run faster. Never give up, never surrender, and rise up against the odds.
Jesse Jackson
If you and I got on an airplane, you're going to L.A., Los Angeles, and I'm going to Senegal, we get there about the same time. The world is just that small. So a world that is so tightly bound by science and technology and now Internet and the web page, that world is too small for bullies. It has no room in that world for arrogance.
Jesse Jackson
The solution [to a crisis pregnancy] is not to kill the innocent baby but to deal with the mother's values and her attitudes toward life.
Jesse Jackson
The charges that I am anti-Semitic are simply erroneous, felonious, and unceremonious. In fact, when I need a doctor, I always look for one with a Jewish name.
Jesse Jackson
In politics, an organized minority is a political majority.
Jesse Jackson
Watch the walls come down, whether it's in the South or on Wall Street. When the walls come down, what do we find? More markets, more talent, more capital and growth. Which means that the race and sex discrimination stunt economic growth. It's not good for capitalism. It's not good for America's growth. And it's not morally right.
Jesse Jackson
When we were hit on 9/11 it took us a few weeks to get the coalition together because [George] Bush had come in with a kind of narrow ideology, looking at the world, I'd say, through a keyhole and not through a door.
Jesse Jackson
The burden of being black is that you have to be superior just to be equal. But the glory of it is that, once you achieve, you have achieved, indeed.
Jesse Jackson
If you wear a hoodie but aren't registered to vote, you got the symbolism but missed the substance.
Jesse Jackson
Workers, black and white, need some kind of international affirmative action to protect them from unfair competition with unorganized or slave labor abroad and unfair competition with robots at home.
Jesse Jackson
Never look down on anybody unless you're helping him up.
Jesse Jackson
Pictures can live in one's memory. That's why they are important.
Jesse Jackson
You are not going to revive the unemployment of 26 million Americans with tax cuts.
Jesse Jackson
Deliberation and debate is the way you stir the soul of our democracy.
Jesse Jackson
When blacks are unemployed, they are considered lazy and apathetic. When whites are unemployed, it's considered a depression.
Jesse Jackson
Capital punishment turns the state into a murderer. But imprisonment turns the state into a gay dungeon-master.
Jesse Jackson
We campaigned across the South . . . without a single catcall or boo. It was not until we got north to New York that we began to hear this from Koch, President Reagan, and then Mrs. Ferraro . . . . Some people are making hysteria while I'm making history.
Jesse Jackson
When we're unemployed, we're called lazy when the whites are unemployed it's called a depression.
Jesse Jackson
Politicians refuse to modernize schools, they cut out midnight basketball, but build all these new jails. First class jails, second class schools. This is zero tolerance.
Jesse Jackson
When you create more small businesses, you create small entrepreneurship. Out of that comes self-determination and employment.
