In an interview with New York Times foreign correspondent Rukmini Callimachi during MSNBC’s 11 a.m. ET hour on Monday, anchor Kate Snow touted the reporter’s latest piece on the war against ISIS: “...you spoke to a former Islamic State fighter from Germany....he said to you, ‘For America and Canada, it's much easier for them to get them over the social network, because they say the Americans are dumb – they have open gun policies.’”

Callimachi responded: “He explained to me that in Europe, they're specifically looking for fighters who already have a criminal record  and who have a criminal network that they can tap into because it's hard to get weapons....He said that in America, that extra step is not there.” Snow interjected: “The difficulty of getting weapons.” Callimachi replied: “Exactly.”
