[Wash Times] MSNBC’s Joy Reid told her fans Monday that the National Rifle Association has machinations of building an America where "packs of warlords" can kill at will. The host of "AM Joy" reacted to Sunday’s church shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas, by claiming NRA members ‐ over 5 million Second Amendment advocates ‐ seek the creation of "private armies" operating outside the rule of law.
The comments came one day after 26-year-old Devin Kelley killed 26 churchgoers and wounded another 20 in a rampage reportedly linked to a domestic dispute.
"Americans are living like packs of warlords, with heavily armed people everywhere, any one of whom can kill dozens at will. This is insane," Ms. Reid said at the start of a series of tweets. "And the @NRA has decreed that the answer to this is more warlords, hoarding more guns, like little private armies. The @NRA ethos is that everyone is your enemy. Every tribe is your enemy, and you need to be prepared to kill a lot of people all the time."
The NRA bills itself as the "foremost defender of Second Amendment rights" for all Americans, and "the premier firearms education organization in the world." |
