Expect to see moves from several directions to get America's guns. Obama has stated it is a good idea.
We must not bow to changes in our Constitution in this regard. Firearms once registered and seized ... then it is too late to ever get them back. Personal protection is necessary in this day and age. Crimes and home invasions are up in numbers.
I don’t usually watch CNN or Pierce Morgan, but was curious.
This interview wasn’t an interview but a slam session against Lott, against guns, and the second amendment in general and ‘assault weapons’ in specific.
Lott couldn’t get a word in at all, and Morgan’s other guest just ganged up on Lott with Morgan. Lott could hardly finish a sentence or a thought.
There was no intention to interview Lott. There was no conversation with an exchange of ideas. This was a shout down session, and nothing more.
Expect major legislation attempted for semi-autos of all types and magazines more than 10 rounds.
Here we go again...
Piers Morgan was amazing there. He was grand standing and saying the same thing over and over again. I loved when Lott asked him if he was going to filibuster or let him answer. :-)
I get the feeling that when they set up this interview they thought he and Dershowitz were going to intimidate him, but they were not successful. He held his own beautifully.
I may have been a bit more agressive than he was but to each his own.
This is an offshoot of the tired old canard that, "When the founders wrote the second amendment, they could not have envisioned today's weapons."
It is easily rebutted by arguing that when they wrote the first amendment, they could not have envisioned radio, television or the internet, but yet we still insist on granting them, freedom of the "press."
I haven’t finished watching the video, but I’m going to bet that John Lott didn’t bring up the single biggest factor explaining the difference in homicide between England and the US: demographics. Mainly because he would have been toast if he mentioned That Which May Not Be Discussed in Main Stream Media.
The truth is the 2nd amendment was given SO THAT...
We could attack the federal givernment not local varmints..
So that we could attack tyranny from within...
When the federal givernment became our greatest enemy..
For the EXACT situation we presently face..
Thats WHY its the 2nd amendment and not the 3rd or 4th...
My wife once thought the Piers Morgan would be more professional than the other leftists at CNN. Boy did he surprise her last night.
I am suspicious of British fops who appear on leftist cable TV shows. Morgan proved that marxism is really deep in the British media.
Dershowitz continues to prove that he is just a dumb liberal who gets something right once in a while, like a broken clock.

PS: I don’t care if Anderson Cooper is gay, unhappy, a Martian, or a Rastafarian, he’s just a leftist loser. Sort of the leftist equivalent of Geraldo Rivera.
