MSNBC’s Joy Reid: NRA Cares About Nothing But ‘Maximizing Gun Sales’

MSNBC’s Joy Reid: NRA Cares About Nothing But ‘Maximizing Gun Sales’ (NewsBusters)

From the Things Hacks Say department: on Monday night's All In, in a discussion of the rock-concert shootings in the Paris terrorist attacks, MSNBC’s Joy Reid claimed that the National Rifle Association doesn’t care at all about the loss of life in shootings, and only wants to sell more guns.

Host Chris Hayes suggested from a devil’s-advocate position that when the NRA protested an effort to prevent people on the government’s terrorist watch list from purchasing guns, it might demonstrate “integrity” in maintaining their gun-rights position. Reid replied “there's nothing in the NRA's behavior that indicates they care about anything other than maximizing gun sales.”
