California Sen. Dianne Feinstein is now tying her efforts for increased gun control to the ongoing War on Terrorism.

During a segment on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" Thursday, Feinstein warned that without the proposed restrictions, a terrorist could purchase a firearm with "virtually no questions are asked."

In response, co-host Joe Scarborough doubled down:"So now we have al Qaeda terrorists saying, 'Kill Americans, it's easy, just go to gun shows, get an assault weapon.'"

WATCH:

Really? We're supposed to believe that radical extremists have abandoned their dreams of mass destruction and global chaos and are instead planning to wage their jihad against America one gun at a time?

Scarier still: Feinstein currently sits on the Senate Subcommittee for Terrorism and Homeland Security.
