Joy Reid tells Trump/Repukes: Choose -"The guns or our kids? We don't have to keep living like this"

In an editorial commentary closing Sunday morning’s “AM Joy,” MSNBC host Joy Reid laid it on the line for Donald Trump and fellow Republicans when it comes to guns, saying it is time to choose between the NRA or, at the very least, children who could be the victims of gun violence.

................

“America is a nation that is full of guns,” she explained. “And where one political party is beholden and obedient to the gun dealers. But we do not have to be. At some point we have to decide, which we love more: the guns or our lives. The guns or our freedom to be in public or in school or at church or at a synagogue or at a mosque without feeling constantly terrified.”

“The guns or our kids? ” she asked. “We don’t have to keep living like this.”

It is like capitulating to the massacres and bowing to it as inevitable.

"Oh well, I guess we just have to live with this daily carnage now, so let's learn to plug each other's wounds. After all, guns will be guns."

That is NOT acceptable!

That's the deal. Republicans will protect guns at all costs and get their tax cuts as well.
