Overview

• On Thursday’s Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough said Republicans are far too comfortable with laws that let "crackpots" buy high-powered rifles.
• His remarks followed a Wednesday attack at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis during a school morning Mass that left two children, ages 8 and 10, dead and 17 people injured, including 14 children.
• Scarborough argued that children practice active-shooter drills in schools but not in churches and rejected any suggestion that such violence is normal.
• He urged lawmakers to move beyond hoping and praying to act, accusing Republicans of offering "bulls--- excuses" instead of passing reforms.
• Referencing Uvalde, he said shooters often wield more firepower than responding police, while co-host Mika Brzezinski called the crisis "an American problem" and MSNBC posted the segment’s video.
