Great video, love what @TYTPolitics does. I have some thoughts to expand discussion which I would love to hear actually being addressed anywhere (not calling out tyt, I don't hear this from any news outlets; major or grassroots)
Here goes..1/10
Here goes..1/10
If you really want to take down the NRA, completely and from the inside out, donate to @lifeafterhate! They are a non-profit group of ex nazis and ex- right wing extremists who work to recover youth and adults who have been pulled into these groups. 2/10
they do amazing work --especially considering the U.S. is not monitoring any domestic terrorist threats or hate groups on any meaningful scale. Trust me: ignoring the people the NRA serves is NOT wise or SAFE. And most of them are people capable of redemption. 3/10
Donating to @WithoutViolence Futures Without Violence
is also a noble and helpful cause in this case. They do some outreach towards offenders/at-risk, but they focus more on healing trauma of victims of violence. Give $$ to both as violence begets violence. Cycle must end. 4/10

Happy to see NRA disappear forever..but they created a cult-like following of a LOT of people. Just like those who claim getting Trump out of WH will suddenly make the country less divided; Those people/beliefs don't just disappear; we need a plan in place to get them help. 5/10
Followers could perceive the NRA's downfall as a "liberal agenda attack" and act on those beliefs. Who is more likely to stage a violent coup? The so labeled "bleeding heart, tree hugging gun haters"..OR..the kinds of people 6/10
who happily walk school campuses w/ Ak-47 strapped to their back on the anniversary of school shootings? (you know who I mean- & if you don't then google it. Just don't say her name or she appears in your town to start annoying B.S. with her cameras and shit tons of guns)? 7/10
Or how about the ppl with military stock piles in their bunkers, actively training young people in paramilitary skills to prepare for "religious invasions" and "infringement on their constitutional rights"? We all know the answer to that question. 8/10
Do we think they'll "wake up" once @NRA is gone? Also leaves pretty big power vacuum. @FoxNews @foxnation has plenty of pundits/supporters who'd happily jump in. Going after leaders alone is like fighting a Hydra: every time you slice off 1 head, 3 more grow in its place. 9/10
But If there are no people to follow them, then leading is impossible.They Still be deranged/hateful/egomaniacs-But w/o power. #AlexJones isnt an abnormality any more than #Trump is. They're a symptom/sign of a much greater issue that simply cannot & should not be ignored.10/10
