From the moment you are born, every single message you got, everything that was said to you, everything you heard... every message you got was "typed" into your personal computer keyboard. That would be our 5 senses. Then those messages that were "typed" were recorded on your CD rom in your brain. It is stored permanently in the brain. The reason that's important to know, is that part of the brain that recorded all of those messages you got, that part of the brain didn't know the difference between, and doesn't know the difference between something that is true or false or right or wrong. or positive or negative. It's job is simply to record the messages we got from other people, and then we began to repeat those same kind of messages to our self. And that is called self talk.
There is something called the law of repetition, and the law of repetition is the secret of self talk & here is how it works; every-time you get a message, & it's recorded again, it gets stronger. Then you get the message again and it gets stronger still, so that those minor pathways in our brain that are being created by us getting different messages from the people around them, when those messages gets repeated by someone else & then to ourselves with our own self talk; those pathways becomes roadways, then the roadways become highways, and some of those highways become inter state highways & those are the major programs that govern our lives...
We become the programs we get most.
"Listen up special snowflakes, listen real good, you may have fooled a lot of people for years with your phony righteous indignation and your stupid safe space trigger warning, micro aggression, brainwashing; but its game over. When an aggressive movement that seeks political change abandons facts, logic and objectivity; it always turns into fanaticism, and that is why, nobody is listening to your **snipped**, anymore."

Nice post OP, this is pretty much what the "anti-gun" crowd boils down to.
They are so passionate about "their" cause. Save the children, oh my the children. They spout off tired old, proven false, arguments about some crazed psycho walking into a gun store and walking out with "assualt weapons" without any background check. It's what they've been told, what they've been programmed to believe is happening. So they can run around and scream it to any other idiot that will absorb it and puke it out at their next opportunity.
I've asked these people if they know the current process in place in their state to acquire a firearm, shockingly I've never gotten an answer.
It's pretty tough to argue for change when you don't even know what's in place, and what you want to change. It's just a bunch of people, armed with the opinions of others(burned into their brain) and the accompanying (falsified) facts, that are set out to do the bidding of those with an agenda.
It's sad really, but on this topic it's pointless. The 2nd is here to stay.

Why is Hold on so against guns ? (and that should read firearms. If you were ever in the military , calling a weapon a gun was a HUGE mistake) Him and the Obama cartel gave the Mexican drug dealers all they could ever want....

The topic isn't just about NRA. It is generalizing Political Correctness as a whole. Transgender, NRA, The paid trolls, etc, all fall into the same category. This is bigger than NRA, it is literally about psychological mind rape.

The NRA operates at the behest of its members. Holder wants Government to promote anti-gun brainwashing.

Just to be clear, I'm not arguing for or against anything... just pointing out the irony of how your mentality & attitude is identical to the people your describing in the quoted paragraph.
