I'm with Piers Morgan on US gun control (Another Brit sounds off on US Constitution)
The Manchester Guardian ^ | December 28, 2012 | Deborah Orr

Posted on 12/29/2012 12:52:53 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Morgan has enraged US extremists with his calls for gun control – but their defence of the right to bear arms in the face of senseless slaughter is abhorrent.

You'd imagine Americans already had plenty of reasons to take against Piers Morgan. But it wasn't until he tackled the second amendment that matters got tricky for him. A petition is demanding Morgan be deported because he had the temerity to suggest, in the wake of the Newtown mass child murders, that the US could use a little gun control.

It's hard to resist cheap jokes about Morgan. Indeed, many in Britain have said they don't want him back. But it's the people who brush aside any degree of senseless slaughter in defence of their right to bear arms that are the joke...

It is not rocket surgery....

They are subjects to the crown

We are subjects to ourselves, individually without apology.

Screw them

I won't give the Guardian a hit but I was struck by this excerpt: the US could use a little gun control. Only a person totally ignorant of the U.S. would write such a thing.

“The common perception there is that America joined in the war late... twice.”

Actually, that is indeed the sentiment across the pond. While they are grateful for our participation, they are of the firm belief that by the time we joined the party they had already done all the heavy lifting, and that we came riding in at the end and claimed the glory. They truly do believe that.

Cheaper than Dirt: Price Gouging Extraordinaires

Under free enterprise, Cheaper than Dirt has every right to charge what they want for their products.

And we have every right to advertise their price gouging to Americans, so they may make an informed decision about doing business with that company in the future.

I wonder how often they think of the fact that the WAR FOR INDEPENDANCE was fought with PRIVATE firearms.

There was no guns to issue to them so they used their own.

If the war was lost the signers of the Declaration of Independence would be killed for treason against the crown.

Their lives depended on the use of privately owned firearms and people then think they wrote the 2 amendment so the state could control guns.

No way they knew the individual citizen needed arms.

Nice, invite a guest into your home, he pees on the carpet in front of you and then blames you for it. Time for both of these creeps to be kicked out or made so uncomfortable that they are compelled to leave on their own.

Britain might have done better under the Nazis, who regarded Germans & English as racial kin. Muzzies hate all who are not muzzies.

(hope to provoke discussion, not flaming....)

Last I checked, we fought a war against the British a couple of centuries ago because we didn’t particularly like their way of doing things. If they don’t like our gun laws, by all means, they’re more than welcome to stay on or go back to their little island.

“’So much for saving their butts from tyranny.....twice’

“You won’t get much gratitude. The common perception there is that America joined in the war late... twice.”

I suspect they need not worry that we will save them a third time. They really are no longer worth saving, if they ever were.

Britain has a huge gun crime problem, even though guns are illegal, and it has a much higher overall murder rate than the US.

That's why Piers refuses to talk about anything other than the gun-murder rate.

Uh, Ms. Slut Lady? You DO remember that this is the country you always go begging to for arms, both military and personal, every time you’re about to get overrun by National Socialists and their ilk? You don’t? Oh, that’s right, I guess you were edumacated in pubic screwls. Never mind.

Not only are they probably not worth saving, but they've become so brainwashed by the Marxists, they're no longer capable of seeing their way of life as being under attack. Oh well.

“Morgan has enraged US extremists...”

Notice how they start right off with a lie? In asserting that the vast *majority* of Americans who own guns are “extremists”. There are far more Americans that own guns than there are British citizens (62.6m).

As such, those vocal opponents of gun liberty in Britain are themselves extremists. And ones who lack such insights as an understanding of cause and effect, or even basic pattern recognition.

So they are not just extremists, but defective ones.
