[QUOTE]Piers Morgan dismissed gun-rights advocate John Lott by scoffing at him.
Piers Morgan dismissed gun-rights advocate Larry Pratt by insulting him.
Piers Morgan dismissed gun-rights advocate Alex Jones by saying nothing.

And Piers Morgan struggled to find the appropriate strategy for dismissing Ben Shapiro, editor-at-large of Breitbart.com and a foe of extraordinary polemical agility. He started in on Morgan by contending that the CNN star had exploited the dead children of Newtown:

What you tend to do is you tend to demonize people who differ from you politically by standing on the graves of the children of Sandy Hook, saying they don’t seem to care enough about the dead kids. If they cared more about the dead kids they would agree with you on policy.

Patented outrage spilled from Morgan: “How dare you.” And then the conversation took a turn for the better, as Shapiro cornered the CNN host on a central disconnect of the ongoing gun-violence debate: Proposals are floating around to redo the ban on assault rifles, something Morgan supports. But Shapiro wonders:

SHAPIRO: …Again, my question remains for you, Piers — and I’m still waiting for an answer from the left on this. They say they’re pro-Second Amendment. Why don’t we want to ban handguns?

If you really want to solve the, quote unquote, gun violence problem in America, why for all the guns? Why just stop yourself at assault rifles?

MORGAN: Because I believe and respect an Americans’ rights under the Second Amendment Constitution that you kindly brought in to defend themselves with a handgun or a pistol. What I don’t understand –

SHAPIRO: And most murders are committed with those weapons.

At one point during the clash, Morgan invoked good old Alex Jones, the way-way-out-there radio talk show host who came on the show earlier this week and caused a national media stir. Shapiro balked: “Don’t lump me in with Alex Jones.”
That would indeed be a mistake. Where Jones proved needy of a background screening, Shapiro was rational and on point. Where Jones failed to directly address Morgan’s points, Shapiro went right at them. Where Jones monologued, Shapiro got through his points quickly and shut up.
All those skills came in handy as Morgan tried to trap Shapiro by noting that Ronald Reagan had supported curbs on assault weapons:

MORGAN: One of the great right-wing presidents of modern times agreed with me.

Shapiro’s priceless retort: “So?”
On policy, Shapiro championed extensive background checks but opposed a ban on assault weapons on the grounds that they might be useful in repelling a tyrannical government.

MORGAN: You genuinely believe your own government is going to turn on you in a way that you require an AR-15 to challenge them? You really believe that will happen in modern-day America? Is that what you think?

SHAPIRO: They may not turn on me. They may not turn on my children. But the fact is this, history is replete with democracies going tyrannical. It has happened. It happened in France in the 19th century. It happened in Spain in the last century. It happened in Germany. It happened in Italy. It happened in Japan.

So you want to hide behind the First Amendment yet show it no respect.

Get fucked Cunt.

[Askaris]

This is the first time I've actually paid attention to anything that Piers Morgan has actually said, as opposed to skim reading about his views on the gun control issue.

My god, what an utter cunt.

[HazzaHardie]

he should go away

[Metashotzo]

I saw this happen live. Shit was intense. Well, as intense as cable news channels at 6 pm can get.

I hate Piers Morgan as much as the rest of us but in what way is he disrespecting the first amendment?

I saw nothing wrong with Piers' "little book" remark. The other guy randomly whips out a booklet and says HERE JUST IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T READ IT PIERS. It's silly. I don't agree with banning semi-auto weapons though, just throwing that out there.

[Kube]

Can't we just ship him off to the Australian outback and keep him under watch?

god I fucking hate piers morgan

I'm glad someone finally got the balls to say it.

Oh wow, Piers got fucked on every point.

I find it funny how the UK is so willing to extradite people to us, yet we don't extradite him to the UK for his involvement in massive breaches of privacy.

Holy shit Piers is a massive cunt. Every time that guy was trying to make a point, Piers would just yell over him.

[The First 11'er]

While I dislike Shapiro's constant pointing to the "left and right," he did very well in this. Not that I agree with all his opinions, but he makes a good point.

[Aman VII]

Holy shit what a fucking clown

[hl2poo]

That felt really good to watch.

They're allowed to be. (this time)

Although I wish the OP would provide a non-biased source.

What's the point in banning assault weapons anyway. 20,000 or so deaths that aren't suicides are caused by guns, of which there are 310,000,000 of in this country, which is 0.007% of all the guns owned, give or take a hundreth. And only 3% of THOSE were assault weapons

Makes sense to me!

[Higginz511]

"I didn't say she went from good to bad, I said she went from responsible to irresponsible."
"So she went from good to bad?"
"No she went from responsible to irresponsible."

fuck it's so hard to listen to Piers argue.

[SFC003]

could get it any worse after the alex jones incident hah

the answer is yes

[Disotrtion]

Piers just seems way too self-righteous.

[The First 11'er]

I don't understand the OP trying insult the little book incident. It WAS a little book that contained the constitution. Either you misinterpreted what Piers was trying to say, or it seems like you're trying to find ways to insult him.

Clearly because they're black and tacticool and scare the shit out of people who have no idea what they're talking about.

We live in a country where people who we elect to represent us can make laws about something they've never touched or understand. Everyone involved in attempting to make policies about an AWB should be required to take a full-on gun course so they will learn that their shitty law won't do a god damn thing except punish law-abiding citizens for the action of a few mentally unstable people.

Either that or they're just taking advantage of an atrocity to push their bullshit agendas about things that scare them.

[Governor Goblin]

Okay, so when did Ben Shapiro, Alex Jones and Piers Morgan become voices for ANY debate in the US? All three are equally shit.

I rightfully disagree. Ben Shapiro is at least half decent and (again) while I don't agree with his view points, he's pretty fair.

You just reminded me. Anyone else remember the Weapons Expert from the ATF I think it was who was talking complete bullshit about how an Airsoft gun can be turned into a real machine gun? ATF Gun Expert. Then he proceeded to try and put the magazine in the airsoft gun backwards
