Brady Team ENOUGH Welcome Session : “Team ENOUGH is a youth-led program whose mission is to educate young voices about gun violence and mobilize them to take meaningful action against it. Supported by Brady United, we harness the expertise and experience of today’s youth to advance our intersectional work across the country.” https://www.mobilize.us/brady/event/425528/
Answer: Youth expertise on guns how? Todays youth? An APP does not an expert make.
Do they know that GUN CONTROL for over two centuries was exclusively against Black people? Expertise and experience? What experience and expertise does a teenager have on the history of firearm ownership? Other than what Brady activism dictates?
Brady: “Led by an Executive Council, comprised of students just like us, we believe that diversity is a strength, and that only when EVERYONE HAS A SEAT at the table can we build an effective movement to prevent all gun violence in all communities.“
Answer: Diversity includes those with differing (or diverse) worldviews. Or should. Millions of honest and honorable people are refused a seat at that Brady table.
For example and educational purposes: The NRA is comprised of MILLIONS and MILLIONS of citizens that DO NOT have a place at the Brady table. And there are MILLIONS more citizens in OTHER Gun Associations.
Such as the NRA, the GOA: Gun Owners of America and the NAAGA: The National African American Gun Association. NONE with a seat at the table. “Discrimination” has no place in an open society.
There’s some education and expertise for you.
Brady: “For us, preventing gun violence not only requires regulating access to firearms but also addressing how systemic racism and environmental factors cause this form of bloodshed to run especially rampant in communities of color.“
Gun Control was used as racism for over two centuries and still is!
“Here’s the thing, once Black people get guns in this country, the gun laws will change. Trust me.” – Joy Behar https://www.sedgwickcounty.org/media/29093/the-racist-origins-of-us-gun-control.pdf
“A Winchester rifle” (a high capacity weapon) “should have a place of honor in every black home, and it should be used for that protection which the law refuses to give.” Ida B .Wells-Barnett 1862 – 1931
Answer: Systemic Racism was/is used to DISARM Blacks throughout history. History you are joining.

Welcome to learning about systemic racism. Yours! Now how about further education to make you experts with experience?
A seat at the table would be the place to find it. Millions of honest and law-abiding people are waiting.
