Thousands sign US petition to deport Piers Morgan

[Tongue-Splitter]

ok, maybe not completely but wouldn't it significantally reduce the number of these killings?

No. It wouldn't. For every person that lost the ability to buy their own gun to do something like this, another person that would do something like this would get a gun from somebody they knew, illegally, or they already have a gun.

For other cases such as the Aurora shooting or shootings at malls, all it would do would be to give somebody that's going to do this more confidence that there won't be another person there with a gun.

Something has to change. I know that. But that something is not stricter gun control. that something is better security at schools. Armed guards or unarmed guards, escorting visitors, metal detectors... Better care for mentally unstable. Better education on the warning signs of violent intentions. More security at public locations. There are dozens of methods better suited for minimizing these types of attacks.

If it was up to me, I'd put a gun in the hands of every single person for stricter gun control. Why? Because the average number of deaths in a shooting rampage when stopped by police is 14.3 deaths. The average number of deaths in a shooting rampage when stopped by civilians is 2.3 deaths.

In cases when armed civilians put a stop to mass murderers, an average of twelve lives are saved.

The answer is not in gun control.

You don't like Morgan, turn him off.

I'm going to start sounding like a broken record here, but I'm going to keep saying it. Not an issue of turning him off when he is subverting millions of others. This isn't about him bothering people that watch him, this is about him committing illegal activities in a country he is not a citizen of while he is being investigated for illegal activities in the country he is a citizen of, and this is about him subverting our constitution through his words and actions.

I'm aware of that. My point was in relation to the comment that watching Morgan talk about this was practically like rape. There are some comparisons that just shouldn't be made, and rape is one of them. Especially in the context of the original post.

Yeah, that was bad.

I believe in freedom of speech so I would not think of deporting him. I believe we should have some restrictions on fully automatic weapons and we should eliminate loopholes in registry laws. I also believe in the 2nd amendment. I feel millions of good law abiding Americans should be allowed to protect their homes, themselves and loved ones if need be with a firearm. I would hope they would put a lock on their guns to prevent kids from using them. With that said I would also ask Piers if he has ever had armed security guards. I would then ask him why celebrities, politicians, and other rich people should be allowed to be protected by a gun and ordinary law abiding Americans should not.

I hope you realize that gun control isn't gun elimination. People aren't calling for removal of every single gun out there.

[CUBDOM4life]

That's a pretty bold statement considering all the reality TV stars that are out there.



Yes, choosing whether to watch Piers Morgan talk about gun control after a shooting is practically the same as sexually assaulting or raping someone.

You don't like Morgan, turn him off. But don't start equating rape to watching someone on TV who has different views than you.

For the record I'm not a fan of Morgan but this is just ridiculous.

He is forcing his thoughts on to others. It's verbal rape.

[dbroncos78087]

Are people really saying that Piers Morgan is forcing something on them? Me thinks people don't know what the word "force" means if so...

[Mudvayneowns91]

People are forcing their opinions on me about Morgan. I don't appreciate it.

[UKBronco58]

I was so not expecting this response when I saw you posted in here.

Really cannot stand the guy.

However, I do agree with him about gun control laws.

[homestarunner93]

Piers Morgan is a dumbass. Who really gives a **** what he thinks?

[Greedy22]

Michael Savage isn't allowed in England because of his remarks about their society, so why should this be any different? Not that I agree with either, but if they are going to block our citizens due to what they say, why can't we?

Is he really? That dude is 1 awesome nut.

[John Walls Era]

Sounds logical.

I can't stand Bill O'Reilly at all, but I don't call for him to be deported because he says stupid **** I don't agree with.

O'Reilly is different. He is ignorant, obnoxious, a dick, ect. but I watch him a lot, he criticizes but he doesn't strongly impose his thoughts onto people in a way Morgan does. O'Reilly will state his opinion, but I don't think his propaganda is as blunt as Morgans. TBH, but I kinda dislike both
