Scarborough: There's an 'Epidemic' of Kids Buying AR-15s, Shooting Up Schools

On MSNBC’s Morning Joe Friday, the liberal hosts and their guests’ engaged in their typical knee jerk reaction to a senseless act of violence, by immediately blaming Republicans for the tragedy.
After two students were shot and killed by a fellow student at a California high school Thursday, co-host Joe Scarborough claimed there was an “epidemic†of kids walking into gun stores, buying AR-15s, and shooting up their schools. Not only that, but Republicans were so motivated by politics, they didn't care if kids got killed, unless the shooter was a Muslim:
If it had been a Muslim that had shot two American kids, Washington would be shut down today. Remember San Bernardino? Remember, remember--- Washington got shut down. But, Jason, if it's -- if it's this random domestic terrorism with kids being able to walk into gun stores and get AR-15s and shoot up their schools, not necessarily this school, I don't know what weapons were used here, but at a majority of the school shootings as this epidemic spreads across America, Republicans say absolutely nothing. If one Muslim kills one or two Americans and, you know, says akba or Allah, then suddenly Washington shuts down. These Republicans actually are prioritizing death. Some deaths are more disturbing than others. But when it's just our kids getting shot in school, unless a Muslim did it, they just don't do anything.
