Perhaps Piers Morgan needs to talk to other people with common sense. Or, at least, actually listen to guests, and conduct a civilized debate. Instead, Piers launches into name calling from the Democrats playbook, and spits out his hysterical and baseless gun control nonsense.
Samuel L Jackson said this about the Sandy Hook shooting: “I don’t think it’s about more gun control. I grew up in the South with guns everywhere and we never shot anyone. This [shooting] is about people who aren’t taught the value of life.”
Piers Morgan again clearly demonstrates his ignorance of the American people, the American culture, and his leftist bias. Does anyone watch him any more?
PM: “The president of the United States has indicated he wants to ban assault weapons like this. What is your view?”
This, right here, is where a true-blue, patriotic American should begin the discussion.
The correct answer is: My “view” is that the POTUS should not be advocating for a violation of the US Constitution. Those that support such un-American advocacy should be rightly viewed as enemies of the Constitutionalist and a threat to our country. What’s your view, Piers?
By-the-way, are you naturalized?
Who are his sponsors?
take the money away from the Assault Media.
Find a clip of him clamoring for the arming of the Syrian people. The establishment was making the case for the 2A use it against them. If the 2A is good enough for the Syrian people its damn well good enough for Americans
PIERS MORGAN, HOST: The AR-15, as we've now seen from the last three mass shootings in America, Aurora, the shopping mall in Oregon, and now at Sandy Hook school, is the preferred choice of weapon for disturbed young men who want to commit mass atrocity, can fire hundreds of bullets at rapid speed, if you have the right magazines.
The president of the United States has indicated he wants to ban assault weapons like this. What is your view?
LARRY PRATT, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, GUN OWNERS OF AMERICA: I think we need to ban gun control laws that keep people from being able to protect themselves. The problem is not going to go away if we ban this or that gun. We've tried that. That doesn't work. Doesn't even work in England. You have mass murders there all over Europe. There have been mass murderers.
MORGAN: You're talking complete and utter — you are talking complete and utter nonsense.
PRATT: The solution is for people to be able to defend themselves at the point of the crime and not wait for 20 minutes for the police come after everybody is dead.
MORGAN: What you've just said, Mr. Pratt, was an absolute lie. The gun murder rate in countries like Britain or Germany or Australia, we've all suffered massacres many years ago, similar nature, have — there are 35 people killed a year. Your country has 12,000.
PRATT: Britain is a dump. The economy is spiraling down the toilet, they have a huge dependent class, and people are arrested if they merely try to defend themselves. You think we should follow THAT example?
MORGAN: Don't try to change the subject.
PRATT: Maybe the CNN poofdahs think your British accent adds to your credibility, but spouting socialist propaganda isn't news, and you should be ashamed of yourself for saying you're in the news business.
MORGAN: I'm not going to listen to these insults - answer the question at hand. The facts are, they had a massacre. And they got rid of the assault weapons.
PRATT: The Brits have a long history of being subjects, and in the last generation they have created a permanent culture of welfare and dependency. We kicked your lobster-backed butts out of here in ‘76, and I think we should kick your paternal philosophy of subjecthood out of the country again. Go kiss Price Charles's butt, since that's what you really want to do, but don't expect us to buy your drivel here.
There are 14 times as many people in the US as in Australia.
And, if you edit out one demographic in the US - a demographic which by itself equals 60% of the total UK population and twice the population of Australia - the numbers shift dramatically.
Piers like di.. oops I mean spotted dick. If you are not a US citizen you ha.ve no input.
“can fire hundreds of bullets at rapid speed, if you have the right magazines”
The police have stated these were legally owned guns, which I understand in CT means no full auto. So this was a semi-auto AR-15....I guess the 0.223 Bushmaster.
What else fires at a rapid rate of speed?
Semi-auto pistols
Semi-Auto ‘hunting rifles’
Semi-auto shotguns
double action revolvers
guys real quick with pump action shotguns
lever action - if you’re quick
bolt action for some speedsters
What’s left?
Breakover shotguns
muskets
What Morgan is trying to do is convince the sheeple (and numb skulled congressmen) that this was a fully automatic weapon...’laying and spraying’....which is a lie.
Ask him “who is going to go around and collect all the guns from the criminals who disobey gun control laws?”
Pierced Moron will wonder why he’s saying Allah Akbar in a few years.
Get stuffed, limey.
I’d like to see a guest ask one of these smarmy media types: “If the government passed an outright ban, and the people refused to comply, would support sending military to round up these people and imprison them? This is a yes or no question.”. If the answer is yes, leave the interview with the statement: “There is no point in continuing this discussion, because you have entered into it with a mindset seen played over and over again by every totalitarian regime in history.”
Just another example proving that the liberal mind is so warped that neither reason nor truth can reach it.
And that any attempt at civil discourse turns on their side to emotional and inflammatory name-calling and insults.
Note how this has progressed in the last 4 years.
Can we not see where this is headed? If this progresses, which I believe is inevitable, violence and/or war will come.
And it will originate from the left - not the right.
So leave then!
Hey Piers what about DunBlane Scotland?
Sounds to me like Piers has been prepped by the Valerie Jarret crowd....
Oh yes piers How about the Hungerford massacre and lets add in the Cumbria shootings - both in England!
I know, I saw that! He was unspeakingly rude! I was so disgusted by the way he called the guy “stupid” and “an idiot” repeatedly; then turns around and thanks him for being on his show!
He'd like to have everyone forget that.
