Defunct CNN host Piers Morgan is known for his anti-gun comments, and in the immediate aftermath of the latest Ft. Hood shooting, he couldn’t resist sending out a message on Twitter going after firearms.

'If only there'd been a good guy with a gun...' - such

“‘If only there’d been a good guy with a gun…’ – such crap,” Morgan tweeted, attacking the popular pro-gun argument that the key to stopping gun violence is arming more people who can act as a deterrent. “This #FortHood soldier/shooter WAS a good guy. Until he turned bad, with a gun.”

On Friday, Morgan ended his CNN show by also taking a shot at guns.

And I want to say something more about that before I bow out.”

"Until he turned bad, with a gun."

He says it as if it's the gun's fault.

He will only be deported when advertisers realize advertising association with Morgan is toxic to their profits.

Guns break laws, not people. But luckily guns can’t buy guns illegally, so we only need a law telling people not to do it.

Don’t you know that guns are implanted with mind control chips that can turn anyone into a vicious, rabid killer?

"WAS" means not anymore. So what was needed? A good guy with a gun.

So all soldiers (even the tiny number of mass murdering ones) are “good guys” right up until the moment they suddenly turn into mass murderers?

Morgan should have a wider audience to spread his ideas. Perhaps his own show. Awww. Too soon?
