President Obama recently proved that he shoots skeet, and now Piers Morgan can say hes shot an AR-15. Morgan traveled to Texas today to find out what its like to shoot the gun used in the last five mass shootings in America, including Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Morgan interviewed the owner of a Houston gun range, as he took his turns firing various version of the AR-15 semi-automatic rifle with a 30-round magazine. His aim wasnt perfect, but as Morgan said, once I got the hang of it and began pressing the trigger faster and faster, it was just firing very, very fast.
He proceeded to shoot an AR-15 that had been modified from semi-automatic to fully automatic, a procedure that is illegal, but as the range owner explained, fairly easy for individuals to do with parts that can be purchased legally. Morgan said it felt unbelievably powerful.(continued)

Surprised Ted let him get the Yeman comment in ..... America and Yeman on his armed society is a polite society statement. piers of shit says America and Yeman are most armed countries and Yeman is second per population.
Difference Piers of Shit is Yeman is a TERRORIST SPONSORED STATE filled with islamakazies cultists you pussified ignorant twit ....
Piss poor Peirs of shit poster boy for the gun grabbers agenda.
The media importing trash like piers of shit into America is no less than the Taliban sneekng in terrorists. They both want to destroy this nation while profiting from its riches and citizens hard earned liberty.
My enemies..... Starve the beast as possible. Vote with your dollars and actions between elections folks !
Doom on em all.... Stay safe MileHi ! ... My opinion.
Have Piers fire a 12 ga. pump loaded with slugs from his chin so he can feel what real POWER is. Otherwise, he’s just your typical Lefty, elitist, poofter British snob. He probably wet himself when the AR-15 went “bang!”.
Yeah. This range owner really pissed me off with his comments. This didn’t help us.
President Obama recently proved that he shoots skeet...”
...that turd proved that he has someone good at photoshop.
Just a question about select fire. Don’t outfits like the one on Sons of Guns do conversions all the time. They deal in some very heavy firepower. Didn’t they make a quad mount for MG 42s?
Yeah, Piers. And should a SWAT team invade my home without cause or without a warrant, but with such “unbelievable power”, how exactly am I supposed to fight back??
I believe what Pier meant was that when he fired it on autonatic he was amazed that he could spray out bullets and eventualy use the spray to get on target he couldn’t hit with a single bullet.
Aint that the truth,my wife peed her pants when I let her take a couple shots with my 30.06
Love the sound of the “clip” going “clang” when they pop out of a beautiful M1.
I’m guessin’ he had on some “Grampers” so you couldn’t tell when he lost control of his............well, bladder and bowels probably.
Could he even pick up an S&W .500?
I don’t know how hard it would be to convert other types of weapons. Red Jacket does have a fairly well equipped machine shop on site. They could do a lot of stuff you average guy in his basement could not.
le Douche extraordinaire Piers Morgan I wish Texas had tarred and feathered him and put him on a plane back to the glorious intellectual paradise know as the U.K.
Piers, we don’t give a fat F how they do it in jolly ole England. You are a perfect example of a Queen lead by a Queen.
I think Ted Nugent should invite him down to Ted’s ranch in Waco and see if the pu$$y could survive the weekend.
*cough* .45-70...*cough* *cough*
Gosh...I’ll bet Ted could get hold of a .577 T-rex rifle.
[Did the little limey wet his drawers?]
His parents didn’t name him peers for nothing.
“Piers” IS a PU$$Y-A$$ “Brit” so someone shoulda handed him one of THESE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee-Enfield Tell him that his countryMEN were dropping “Jerries(WWI)” and “Krauts(WWII)” with them.
Thanx. I didn’t really make myself clear. My question wasn’t about the mechanical end but the legal side. This guy in Texas did a select fire conversion and has been accused here of violating federal law. Red Jacket has often worked with full auto weapons and are not under any federal indictment. So my question is what exactly is the law for automatic weapons?
Who in their right mind would admit to owning such a thing? "Owning a range" wouldn't protect you from the wrath of the feds, nor would a FFL or any amount of NFA documentation. If the mod was done after 1986, that gun is an all-expenses-paid ticket to Leavenworth.
Perhaps it was a legally-owned NFA M16 and Piers was just tarting up his story a bit?
As I understand the law, it has been illegal since the passage of the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986 for a civilian to own a newly manufactured full auto weapon in the USA. I was under the impression that the existing ones may be transferred but no new ones can be manufactured for civilian use.
Thanx for the info. If that means a pre 86 weapon can be modified then you’ve answered my question.
