US gun advocates want Morgan deported
2012-12-23 22:35

Washington - -US gun rights advocates have signed a White House petition calling for British CNN host Piers Morgan to be deported for allegedly attacking the Second Amendment rights of ordinary Americans.

The outspoken former British tabloid editor has launched something of a personal crusade for greater gun control measures in the wake of the 14 December massacre at Sandy Hook elementary in Newtown, Connecticut.

On Tuesday, Morgan held an especially contentious interview with executive director of Gun Owners of America Larry Pratt, appearing to become incensed and incredulous when Pratt suggested more, not fewer, weapons as the solution.

"You're an unbelievably stupid man, aren't you?" Morgan said at one point during the heated debate. "You have absolutely no coherent argument. You don't actually give a damn about the gun murder rate in America."

[neverforget]

1. Deported for telling the truth? Larry Pratt IS an unbelievably stupid man

[Thinkingabout]

6. I have heard you can tell the intelligence level by the size of the hat and belt buckle.

The bigger the hat and belt buckle the lower the IQ, and for the ones with their name on the back is so they will know their name when they get their head out of their a$$. Makes me wonder, did Rick Perry have OOPS on his belt. I live in Texas and we have many more wonderful people here than Larry Pratt.

[Thinkingabout]

2. We might consider deportation of owners of rapid fire weapons.

Piers Morgan was exercising the first amendment and they want to keep the second amendment, they are stupid. By the way I am exercising my amendment rights also.

[NickP]

3. Piers Morgan can attack the 2nd Amendment because of his 1st Amendment Rights...

Checkmate dumbasses

[freshwest]

19. Great retort.

[TPaine7]

53. +1 It's just silly to deny First Amendment rights to respect Second Amendment rights.

[PavePusher]

57. I don't think anyone has said he can't.

But sometimes words have consequences.

In this case, he can continue his festering rants from his home nation just fine. No-one here will ever stop him from speaking out.

[MotherPetrie]

4. Bwahahahahahaha! Hey assholes you made Piers Morgan look good. Took some doing.

[Lenomsky]

37. Nail Head

LOL I agree

[DeSwiss]

39. +1000

[LovingA2andMI]

5. Only if.....

You say the talking points of the NRA, you're allowed to speak? NRA meet the 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution giving even Piers Morgan, the Right to Free Speech!

[dkf]

7. Well that is a stupid reason.

[copperearth]

8. And what avout the First Amendment

The Second Amendment does say that we have a right to bear arms by a TRAINED MILITIA. And it was written when there were no weapons that were capable of obilerating people in seconds. But we do have a First Amendment that allows for freedom of speech so Piers Morgan was and is within his rights for his opinion.
What a crying shame that these fools screaming that their rights are being trounced on can't be deported to some place (Like the Cayman Islands, for example) where they can kill one another for the sport of it. Shoot-out at the OK Corral!

[atreides1]

16. Here's a little bit of information

http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data/constitution/amendment02/

[jmowreader]

34. It was also written when we had a Volunteer Army

The volunteers we had in the days of the Founding Fathers were the kind who worked for no money, not the kind who apply for jobs with the Army and get hired like we have now.

The reason we had a Volunteer Army is the country was so broke it couldn't have paid soldiers or bought them equipment if it wanted to. If you wanted to be in an artillery unit, you had to buy your own cannon.

So obviously if a shitload of teabaggers armed with whatever in hell they want to bring in constitute the well-regulated militia of the Second Amendment, teabaggers should be able to buy their own 155-mm howitzers. (Which should be entertaining to watch--it takes a dozen men to fire one of those.)

[CBHagman]

9. Huh. So much for the First Amendment.

Really, these clowns are totally unclear on the basics of the Constitution.

[Sunlei]

10. Larry Pratt has the blood of thousands of innocents on his hands.

[humbled_opinion]

11. WOW

So now the TEABAGS don't beleive in the first ammendment only the second, is that about right?

[Taverner]

12. Do we get to deport Lord Haw Haw too?

[Hekate]

25. Yeeks, he really needs to see a doctor about his thyroid!

Those eyes aren't just scary, they may be a sign of illness.

[muriel_volestrangler]

30. Grave's disease - he's aware of it, and has claimed at times to have cured himself

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Monckton,_3rd_Viscount_Monckton_of_Brenchley

though the claims are intermittent, and I don't think any doctor believes him. His claims to be able to cure diseases like multiple sclerosis are, if anything, more outlandish than his climate claims.

[loyalkydem]

13. OMG --- is speechless

[Zoeisright]

14. Pratt is a eunuch.

Just look at him and LaPierre. Obviously mentally disturbed little pissants with no dicks and no power.

[Hekate]

23. Sadly, they have way, way too much power. nt

[Festivito]

15. Is this a false flag report hiding Piers Morgan involvement in Brit phone hacking scandal?

Dateline washington,
reported through Agence France-Presse
via News24 from Capetown South Africa?

That's a circuitous route.

[mrmpa]

17. They forgot there's a 1st amendment...............

which includes FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!

[SoapBox]

18. Free Speech! Free Speech!

...except when it doesn't agree with the Puke/BaggerHater talking points.

It would be funny if it weren't so creepy...shut down what you don't want to hear.

[freshwest]

20. I'll marry him so long as he's not frisky, then he'll be legal.

Take that, you mass murderer lobbyist!

[Panasonic]

21. I'd rather see the entire NRA delegation deported to Somalia, where there is no law.

And guns are plentiful and no gun control either.

[Hekate]

22. Just when I was beginning to like the bloke!

I completely agree with Piers Morgan's assessment, needless to say.

[FreeBC]

24. First Time I've ever agreed with gun nuts...

Deport Piers Morgan!

The guy is a talentless hack, and he's been personally involved in some of the worst British press spying scandals.

The only problem with deporting Piers Morgan is that the British people probably won't take him back.

[paleotn]

29. Thus, his response to the exec director of "Gun Nutjobs of America"...

...was incorrect? Regardless of what he's done in the past, he's right on the money with this one. If anyone needs to be deported, it's the gun toting, compensators, if only to protect the American gene pool.

[Lenomsky]

38. LOL true we don't want him back

Cheers

[cantbeserious]

26. It Would Seem That The Gun Apologists Are Unbelievably Stupid As Is Their Leader Larry Pratt

eom

[riverbendviewgal]

27. never was keen on Morgan but I have different opinion now

here is the link for the interview

[LeftInTX]

28. Only if we get to deport Rupert Murdoch

[NickB79]

32. Ironically, Murdoch is also calling for more gun control. nt

[JI7]

48. shows that even Foreign Right wingers are like Murdoch and Piers Morgan

see how fucked up we are when it comes to guns.

[louis-t]

50. Hmmm, Murdoch should be deported, then.

According to tea logic.

[heaven05]

31. I

like his testicular material and passion. Called the a hole an unbelievably stupid person.

[MichaelHarris]

33. Well

I guess if you eliminate the First with firepower from the Second then they'll be happy.

[Skittles]

35. the occasional gun massacre is A-OK

but no NAME CALLING or TELLING THE TRUTH

[samsingh]

40. i guess they don't support the first amendment

[TransitJohn]

41. Deported for exercising the 1st Amendment?

These loons make no fucking sense.

[triplepoint]

42. Isn't NRA BOZO LaPierre a "Frenchy?"

....................................................I wonder............................

[marmar]

49. By lineage only.....I don't think anyone in contemporary France would claim him.

[AAO]

43. US gun rights advocates apparently do not believe in the 1st amendment.

[NickB79]

44. Over 28,000 signatures so far

Wow, that was fast.

[MindandSoul]

45. So. . .gun owners defend the second amendment at the expense of the first amendment?

[bowens43]

46. fuck you gun nuts...the second doesn't say what you think it says.

Join a well regulated militia or turn in your fucking guns....

[BobTheSubgenius]

47. As I have absolutely no doubt about the outcome

- or lack thereof - of this bit of kabuki theater, I am just enjoying the scent of frying synapses of some people who can ill afford their loss. The Crazy is strong in these ones.

What a GREAT story - you just can't make this shit up.

Edited for typo correction.

[treestar]

51. Deported because they don't like what he is saying?

Hilarious.

[Politicub]

52. A big thank you goes to Wayne LaPierre for exposing that the NRA has no clothes.

And it's losing its teeth.

People are starting to think of the gun nuts as being like the people calling for secession - full of sound and fury signifying nothing. Like the secession petition, these things are meaningless

I don't believe the gun nuts have any self awareness about how asinine and ridiculous their excuses and absolutism sound to the average person, which includes responsible gun owners.

[johnfunk]

54. Sane Americans Want "US gun advocates wanting Morgan deported" Profiled as Gun Violence Threat

There. I said it. Wayne LaPierre and everyone who buys his proto-eliminationist bullshit needs to be profiled as a potential domestic terrorist. That sounds far more sane than LaPierre's call for a de facto army in our schools.

[Ash_F]

55. Care for a little xenophobia with that gun-nuttery?

[rrneck]

56. Who's yo daddy?
