• Piers Morgan Delivers One Final Blow To Gun Violence In Last Show
    209 replies, posted
[quote] Piers Morgan concluded his final CNN show Friday night by delivering one last blow against America's gun violence epidemic. The "Piers Morgan Live" host praised the U.S. as "a land of true opportunity," adding, "The vast majority of Americans I've met are decent, hardworking, thoroughly dependable people." But he went on to say that an estimated 100,000 Americans per year are hit by gunfire, and argued, "I am so pro-American, I want more of you to stay alive." Morgan expressed frustration with reaction to the Aurora, Colo., theater shooting and the Newtown, Conn., school shooting: "I assumed that after 70 people were shot in a movie theater and then just a few months later 20 first-graders were murdered with an assault rifle in an elementary school, that the absurd gun laws in this country would change, but nothing has happened." He added: "The gun lobby in America, led by the NRA, has bullied this nation's politicians into cowardly silence. Even when 20 young children are blown away in their classrooms." Earlier this month, National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre declared, "There is no greater freedom than to survive and protect our families with all the rifles, shotguns and handguns we want." A study published in the American Journal of Public Health last year found that states with more gun ownership often had higher rates of gun-related murders. Morgan argued Friday night: "More guns doesn't mean less crime, as the NRA repeatedly tries to tell you. It means more gun violence, more death and more profits for the gun manufacturers."[/quote] [url]http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/28/piers-morgan-nra_n_5053172.html[/url] Well off you go!

Fuck off Piers. You're full of shit.
He wants to make YOUR FAMILY unsafe by outlawing rocket propelled grenade launchers!
But...how can he be pro american if he's British?
[QUOTE=Ashes;44397254]But...how can he be pro american if he's British?[/QUOTE] Well all of the founding fathers were British so I guess if they can be Pro-American then so can Piers Morgan.
[QUOTE=Ashes;44397254]But...how can he be pro american if he's British?[/QUOTE] How can you be pro-choice if you're alive?
. [QUOTE=Ashes;44397254]But...how can he be pro american if he's British?[/QUOTE] The way someone can be pro-cats without being a cat I guess? Just being generally supportive and liking the thing. America, please don't send him back. We'll come and take you back for crown and country if you do. That shit isn't fair.
[QUOTE=Ashes;44397254]But...how can he be pro american if he's British?[/QUOTE] The founding fathers were all British and they were certainly pro-American. That being said it's quite clear that Piers is not, at all, and is just taking one last opportunity to try and make himself look good.
I can never really understand how people can be so overwhelmingly in favour of guns being legal. I get that I'll probably be boxed to hell for this but seriously, they're just a silly thing to give to civilians. But tbh the insane risk is worth it if it means I can post THE FIRST RULE OF GUN SAFETY every once in a while.
Don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out of this country cunt

Of course that'll never happen for you unless you move out of your nanny state.
[QUOTE=deadoon;44397333]You posted this just to cause a shitstorm, didn't you?[/QUOTE] I posted this because he's leaving
[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;44397347]Shoot a gun once and you'll understand why people want to own them.

[QUOTE=Elecbullet;44397237][B]Fuck[/B] [B]You[/B][/QUOTE] What were they killed with? I'm confused.
[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;44397347]Shoot a gun once and you'll understand why people want to own them. Of course that'll never happen for you unless you move out of your nanny state.[/QUOTE] I've shot guns before, and I still don't understand why. It wasn't the most pleasant of experiences. I go stand in some wet forest aiming at things, making a lot of noise with a shotgun. It was boring.
Christ, whats with this no regulation vs absolute ban thing going on?
I wonder what Morgan thinks about Leland Yee, extreme anti-gun activist has been arrested for taking bribes, illegal gun trafficking, and ties to the chinese mafia.
go back to your own country immigrant
[QUOTE=Rangergxi;44397395]Christ, whats with this no regulation vs absolute ban thing going on?[/QUOTE] No one wants to make actual intelligent discussion so they just get entrenched in strawmen and slippery slopes.
Good thing you're going off the air, you can fuck right off Piers. Give me Larry King back.
[QUOTE=SHIG;44397449]I wonder what Morgan thinks about Leland Yee, extreme anti-gun activist has been arrested for taking bribes, illegal gun trafficking, and ties to the chinese mafia.[/QUOTE] I don't think it's hard to figure out what Piers Morgan would think of a gun trafficker
[QUOTE=Hat-Wearing Man;44397471]go back to your own country immigrant[/QUOTE] He wasn't even in your country, unless flagdog is wrong again.
"I am so pro-American, I want more of you to stay alive." Top 10 causes of death in the US in 2010. Heart Disease (597,689 deaths) Cancer (574,743 deaths) Chronic Lower Respiratory Disease Stroke Unintentional Injury Alzheimer's Disease Diabetes Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, nephrosis Influenza and pneumonia suicide [url]http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm6208a8.htm[/url] Firearm related deaths including suicide in 2010. 31,672 Firearm suicides in 2010. 19,392 Only 12,280 firearm deaths not including suicide in 2010, many of those are from gang on gang related shootings. [url]http://www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region/united-states[/url] So Piers if you really cared about Americans you would spend more time talking about heart disease and cancer.
[QUOTE=Rangergxi;44397395]Christ, whats with this no regulation vs absolute ban thing going on?[/QUOTE] Well it all depends on where you are really. If you lived in southern America you could probably find guns in a daisy patch there's so many of them and if you live in the north-eastern bit, the process of obtaining a gun is more or less equivalent to getting all the required paper work for being allowed to make weapons grade Uranium. Personally I'm pro gun my self but I think 0 regulation is bad while regulation like in NY and MA is utterly ridiculous. For most folks in the North-east it can take ~half a year to a year to get a gun license (Pistol) /handgun/concealed carry permit. Not to mention the fact that you basically have to more or less have every requirement a room full of bored office workers could think of. There's plenty more restrictions particularly up here in the North. 5 round magazines maximum, semi or bolt only (Unless you have a Class 3 permit or something along those lines and are using it to actively sell weapons to police forces. To get a Class 3 you'll probably need to have it hand delivered by Jesus from 2000 years in the past.). Pistol grips are apparently the spawn of Satan, collapsing stocks eat the souls of children, and a flash hider allows you to incinerate buildings somehow. More or less you have to be a wizard to get all of these. Please pardon any inaccuracies in this as I'm just going by memory and things I've read in the past.

Do some target shooting with a semiautomatic before you try to relate to US gun owners.

Piers is nothing more than a fearmonger.
[QUOTE=SataniX;44397373]There's a difference between owning one for hunting or target shooting and the blatant gun culture you have over there though.[/QUOTE] The majority of Americans that own firearms own them for target shooting and hunting; the people you see toting nationalist flags and anti government symbolism are just a loud minority.
