Mike Barnicle was near tears talking about Sandy Hook today on Morning Joe
He recounted all the times when we as a country said "This will be it" when we collectively will stop the gun massacres. He talked about the kids. He talked about the teacher who died trying to protect her students and asked if now we ask teachers to risk their lives in order to teach our children.
It was a very serious moment on the show. I very much appreciate what he said. The Sandy Hook shooting happened in my state. I remember thinking how horrible it was for me as a CT resident to see such evil happen in my blue state where our strict gun laws, tragically, couldn't be a match for the forces of pure evil intent on getting a gun and shooting people. That happened in places like Texas (I am a 3rd generation Texan and lost a niece to gun violence).
I thought, like Barnicle, that maybe Sandy Hook was the last straw. Surely we could fix the gun problem this time. I was wrong.

The camera was on Barnicle so I couldn't see who it was, but I think it was Mika.
I was listening to him and was near tears myself.
As he said the other day (with an extremely sad face), "We're all exhausted with this presidency...just exhausted."
You know, those who claim that it was all a false flag in order to take everybody's guns away. These horrible people harass the families caught up in the Sandy Hook violence.
There's a special level in Hell...
I like Mike Barnicle.
