Piers Morgan, CNN's most-outspoken and impolite gun control advocate, got a much-needed education about the Second Amendment and firearms Tuesday.

In the middle of a lengthy and uncharacteristically civil interview on Piers Morgan Tonight, former Marine Joshua Boston said, "The American people aren't as gun-happy and trigger-happy as they're being painted out to be by the media. They are smarter than that. They know when to hold their fire. They know when to fire" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

Loved Boston’s rebuttals. He seemed to shut down the English cry baby much better than Alex Jones managed to, and in a far more composed demeanor.
I felt like Boston was speaking for me in what he said.

The Leftwing faction of media is the Country's greatest threat. Repeat this loudly, and repeat this often.

Former Marine Joshua Boston was exceptional in the interview. Calm, to the point, understanding of how the citizen feels about the right to own a firearm. Look at the gun laws in Chicago. The police cannot get the control of the gang related murders/and crimes there. Why doesn’t the Brit help those poor families in those same ghettos who have lost family members by the drive by shootings of these gangs. I’m not buying his concern for the little kids in schools to be his top concern (because of his own rants of taking away guns). Bravo for J. Boston.
