HELP WANTED: Who wants to try making sense of Joy Reid's gun control rant?

On its face, the idea of “voting with your feet” isn’t a bad one. But Joy Reid has managed to make it sound more than a little insane.

We could soon be a nation where blue states ban assault weapons and red states encourage their proliferation everywhere (carrying a gun is legal in BARS in Georgia for example). Sane people and companies will be able to make decisions about where to live and locate accordingly.

Federalism gives Americans the opportunity to create the societies we want at the state level by exercising the power of the vote to change any state legislature that won't protect us, and by voting with our tourism dollars and our feet.

What’s scary is that Joy Reid votes with her brain.

I love how progressives are for state governing when they don't control the federal government. So Joy, you're cool with states banning abortion? How about gay marriage? Or how about states opting out of Medicaid expansion?

You wanna bet that she conveniently excludes certain state-level laws from her federalist utopia, say, regarding abortion, for example? https://t.co/Xrq640Djkc

We’ll take that bet. Also:

Perfect.

Where exactly is she going with this?

Well, let’s find out, shall we?

My husband and I vetoed any college choice by our kids that involved an open carry or campus carry state. States awash in guns were off our list. Parents' college dollars matter.

So, she’d deny her kids their “right” to a good education? Not very woke, is it?

And if I was still in Florida and my kids were still young we would pull them out of any school where guns were being carried. In a New York minute. I refuse to live, work or let my kids go to school where warlords are lurking and politicians worship guns over human life.

Warlords?

If you fear warlords so much, you should want to be able to defend against them. https://t.co/C5sIfn3jPi

No kidding.

The @NRA has sold savagery as freedom and barbarism as liberty for long enough. They don't deserve to tell the rational majority what to do. Politicians who insist on being obedient to them rather than doing what the vast majority of their constituents want don't deserve to lead.

Remember when you gloated while Steve Scalise was in the hospital because he votes differently than you? Yeah, NRA's the toxic ones. https://t.co/yJ5LCzQRqd

Oh, we remember. But you’ve gotta love Joy lumping herself in with the “rational majority.” That takes nerve.

True, but that’s not good enough for the left. They’ll want to pass federal laws to make everyone live according to their ideas.

That’s funny coming from a member of the party that wants to ban birth control, force teen girls into motherhood, tell gays they can’t marry, trans people where to pee and force everyone to live surrounded by guns and that stops people from voting unless it’s for the state party.

Ban birth control? Force everyone to live surrounded by guns? Welcome to Joy Reid’s world: Where everything’s made up and the facts don’t matter.
