If anybody understands the MAGA world, it’s Jordan Klepper. He told MSNBC’s Jen Psaki that AR-15s have become a point of identity as much as a MAGA hat. That's because a MAGA hat, Klepper said, is a symbol of those who wear it as much as it’s a symbol of Donald Trump. “So, you put that thing on, you don’t believe in those ideas, you believe this represents you.”

The same applies to the AR-15, he added. “So, you can’t debate whether or not that is something a child should have because now that’s become a point of pride and a point of identity and that to me is something that is really hard to change.”

Bingo.
