On Monday, MSNBC’s AM Joy host lashed out at the NRA over the Sutherland Springs church shooting, accusing the gun rights nonprofit of wanting to create a country in which “packs of warlords” and “private armies” kill people “at will.”
Americans are living like packs of warlords, with heavily armed people everywhere, any one of whom can kill dozens at will. This is insane.

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.

And the worst part is, the vast majority of us DO NOT want to live this way. But a minority of fanatics and supine politicians force us to.

Reid’s “warlord” rant comes off as an appeal to young liberals who haven’t had to pay their own taxes yet, but who yearn for the emotion of living out their favorite young adult novels.

But for older, more educated Americans, Reid’s tirade against the NRA is nothing more than a sensationalist left-wing fairy tale starring the big, bad NRA as the super villain.
Reid, like so many liberals, cries “gun control” as a knee-jerk reaction to every shooting without stopping to examine the facts.
If she did, she’d learn the killer of 26 innocent churchgoers, Devin Patrick Kelley, managed to skirt the law and obtain guns because the US Air Force failed to report his misdemeanor assault charges and bed conduct discharge to the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System.
In other words, the tougher gun laws Reid and other liberals keep calling for already exist. Kelley could have been prevented from purchasing fire arms by properly enforcing the laws already on the books.
Then there’s this: The plummeting violent crime rate since 1990.
Democrats and reality don’t seem to get along very well.
