If airlines dropping their discount programs with the NRA won’t stop the next mass shooting, we don’t know what will.
Here’s something that will do even less good: pressuring streaming video services to drop NRA-TV. As Twitchy reported last week, Moms Demand’s Shannon Watts was trying to get that train rolling.
Delta and United severed ties to the @NRA: Now it's your turn @AppleTV, @Google, @Amazon, and @RokuPlayer. It's time to dump @NRATV! #DumpNRATV https://t.co/29PYuKBpfN

George Takei, who likes to share bizarre fantasies of phaser control at Star Fleet, is hoping his followers will get on board and sign a petition urging Amazon to drop NRA-TV from its offerings.
Over 100,000 people have signed this petition, asking @Amazon to drop the 24-hour NRA propaganda show, NRA-TV. Won't you add your voice? Outrage without action is no better than thoughts and prayers. https://t.co/G4f7sS7WAt

“Outrage without action is no better than thoughts and prayers,” he adds. Wow, the Left is really hostile to the idea of prayer, isn’t it?
Dana Loesch already recorded a great video pointing out the hypocrisy of First Amendment warriors wanting to silence the opposition, but it seems gun grabbers aren’t going to let freedom of speech stop their misdirected crusade against the NRA.
In case there was any doubt, @GeorgeTakei and others seeking to cut off @NRATV streaming service are totalitarian in nature, they will not stop with the 2nd Amendment, they seek to suppress speech with which they disagree. https://t.co/qkQaf5UzAa

You'd think a guy stuck in a camp as a kid by Democrats would be opposed to Nazi tactics. You'd be wrong. #AgendaÜberAlles https://t.co/Tondwzjni6

Narrator: He doesn't approve of the First Amendment, either. https://t.co/6FDbhVVPnF

Remember all the think-pieces that were published after Trump was inaugurated? The hot takes like, “Maybe liberals shouldn’t be free-speech absolutists after all”? Thank goodness the founders made the Constitution so difficult to amend.
The Second Amendment, and lawful gun ownership, is not propaganda. Unless, of course, you think this is propaganda – https://t.co/Wl9QmPBCdM https://t.co/WTNnoetdYR

You want propaganda? You already got it with CNN’s show trial they called a “town hall.”
Condemn thoughts and prayers while trying to stifle dissent. Bit player on cheesy sci-fi show is more helpful than you'd think. https://t.co/t7WjSLPNgc

George, you're asking that of the company that sells nazi memorabilia (flags, coins, uniforms, etc.). Now wouldn't they look silly ditching the NRA and keeping the nazis? https://t.co/FbDelOBgZW

Nope – I am fine with the @NRA but even if I wasn't, I don't ascribe to shutting down voices with messages I don't like.
You'd make a great fascist dictator. https://t.co/zrOpEoM5dk

No, because the answer to speech you don't like isn't suppression of that speech.
It never stops with the 2nd. https://t.co/4lO0LxF3E6

Typical of "tolerant" left. Instead of having a discussion or listing to views different from your own, you work to shut down those voices, whether its NRA TV or conservative speakers on college campuses. Own your fascist tactics, Sulu! https://t.co/Za9IeB8kIv
