Piers Morgan: Ban All Semi-Automatic Guns, ‘No Civilian Needs One’
Breitbart ^ | April 3, 2018 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 04/04/2018 5:56:56 AM PDT by C19fan

Piers Morgan used a series of tweets Monday to call for a ban on all semi-automatic guns and stress his conviction that “no civilian needs one.” His call for a ban on semi-automatic firearms was followed by other tweets in which he told Americans that the Second Amendment was never intended to protect an individual right to keep and bear arms. Rather, it was only intended to protect militias members’ ability to be armed.

Just as the First Amendment protects ONLY the right of INDIVIDUAL free speech, and the use of the PRINTING PRESS?

The 1st Amendment certainly doesn't mention radio or television or film or media empires or media elites...so I assume that Puss Morgan would agree that they have no recourse to the Constitution.

"What does he think constitutes a militia?"

Farmers with muskets.

Do these elites think that ban would NOT apply to their private (non-government employed) personal security teams?

Saw the funniest tweet yesterday, Kurt Shlichter taking Piers Morgan down. Gist of the tweet: “Piers, I’m a citizen; you’re a subject...”.

“Only for some reason, this UK citizen...”


I think you meant “subject”, not citizen.

Therein is the difference.

Indeed.

I imagine CNN will be disappointed to learn that “freedom of the press” only applies to people with a hand-cranked printing press and lead type.

Technically, a 6 shot S&W revolver is semi-auto.

Piers, you are not my better, you are not my moral superior, and you certainly are not my intellectual superior.

I simply will not follow you or people like you. I refuse. Now, let’s have the chips fall as they usually have throughout history.

Anything the police need, civilians need also.

Pontificating from a country that is convinced that pointy nosed kitchen knives are weapons of mass destruction.

Well, that is pretty much true. In a typical year in the US, 2 or 3 times as many people will be stabbed to death as will be murdered with rifles. So, maybe knives aren't "weapons of mass destruction", but they are a lot deadlier than rifles. I'm not in favor of banning anything, but if you are gonna ban something, it would make more sense to start with knives rather than rifles.

Piers, can you explain why England has 4 times the murder rate of the USA? To say nothing of the acid attacks.

I know the answer. Hint it starts with an M.

Yup a point I've been making is that all double action revolvers are semi-auto.

The more they push the faster technology will advance into Star Trek type of phazers.
That anyone can build.
At home.
Virtually unlimited capacity.
Silent.
Can resemble a cell phone or car remote.

muzzle loaders, blunderbusses, ball and cap pistols are all any civi needs. Leave the real guns for the adults that guard the elite, the police and criminals (the real victims in all this).

The Brits going after our guns again, I guess they didn’t learn the first time around.

The Revolutionary War was sparked by the British trying to seize the militia armories in Lexington and Concord. I am sure that at least some of his ancestors were in the British army at the time, so he comes from a long line of gun-grabbing Limeys.

Perhaps we ought not to take advice regarding our gun laws from any person from Britain, particularly when their advice consists of us disarming ourselves.
