‘Morning Joe’ Plays 2022 Video of Rep. Mike Collins Firing an Assault Riffle: You Wonder Where This Culture Comes From!

‘Our politics designs it to happen’

EXCERPT:

[clip starts]
COLLINS: "You see, Georgians are sick and tired of weak-kneed, spineless politicians who won't fight for Trump, get to the bottom of 2020, and fix our election. Well, if they won't do it, Mike Collins will. Send me to Washington. I'll fix this election. I'll get to the bottom of 2020. And I will fight for Trump's America First agenda."

BRZEZINSKI: "Oh, God!"
SCARBOROUGH: "So -- so, we -- we -- we've seen that far too often. People posing with military-style weapons --"
BRZEZINSKI: "Proudly."
SCARBOROUGH: "-- I said assault-style weapons, military-style weapons, and weapons originally designed for war, Mike. And they use them as props. We've -- we've seen other members of Congress using AR-15s as props, using them, you know --"
BRZEZINSKI: "Some as Christmas cards."
SCARBOROUGH: "-- on Christmas cards, having their kids holding AR-15s, having pins on their lapels, AR-15s. And again, they wonder where this culture comes from. And you go down the list of school shootings over the past decade or so, and more often than not, there are AR-15s, or military-style weapons, the AR-15 developed for warfare, developed as a more efficient killing machine in the jungles of Vietnam than the weapons our soldiers and Marines were carrying around there."
