Gun Control: Piers Morgan Wants To Eviscerate The 2nd Amendment
Market Daily News ^ | December 14, 2012 | Melissa Melton

Michael Moore isn’t the only media figurehead openly calling for stricter gun control on the social media site Twitter today.

Not only does Piers Morgan apparently want to straight up take away people’s guns, but he has a multi-step plan for exactly how America should be disarmed.

The host of CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight went on an anti-gun Tweet rant following the mass shooting in a Connecticut school that left 28 people, including 20 children, dead earlier this morning.

“Only way forward for America is a national gun policy, same (much tougher) laws for everyone. No assault weapons for civilians, period,” Morgan wrote, before following it up by laying out a plan to disarm the American public. Morgan called for a “minimum 3 references” and “detailed vetting over 6-8 weeks.” He also claimed that no one under 25 should have a gun, and neither should “ANYONE with ANY mental health history whatsoever.” Morgan finishes by stating that “No American needs more than one firearm at home to protect themselves under 2nd Amendment.”

(TWEETS AT LINK)

Morgan’s plan, while seemingly comprehensive, leaves many questions. If America were to “ban guns on anyone under 25,” then how would we have a military? Would we have to raise the age limit on joining the police force or becoming a soldier? Who is the person that Morgan suggests we get a reference from? Why would that make any difference? What are the guidelines for his “extensive social media checks”? What exactly constitutes a “mental health history”?

As Paul Joseph Watson reported, “Morgan is seemingly ignorant of the fact that the decision to ban handguns in Britain did nothing to lower gun crime...

And just how many UNLOCKED guns (laying around) did this woman need to protect herself? The responsibility has to belong to the gun owner, else eventually the government is going to step in. There are so many questions, like why train a mentally disturbed person how to use weapons?
I know there is always going to be things that happen, that can’t be avoided. But it sounds like some bad decisions were made by the mother. Time will tell...

Government is obviously the answer, because government is so much more trustworthy than the peasants.

Governments have only murdered 262 million of their own citizens since 1900. Mass-shooting have killed thousands.

We need to trust the government.

Just roll over and play dead, then.

This event is called an Overton Window.

The Overton window is a political theory that describes as a narrow "window" the range of ideas that the public will find acceptable, and that states that the political viability of an idea is defined primarily by this rather than by politicians' individual preferences.[1] It is named for its originator, Joseph P. Overton,[2] a former vice president of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy.[3] At any given moment, the “window” includes a range of policies considered politically acceptable in the current climate of public opinion, which a politician can recommend without being considered too extreme to gain or keep public office.

I heard Piers last night and he was out of his mind, screaming bove the voices of the three men he had on with him, demanding all guns be gone from this country.

Tonight, he allowed a man called Van Cleave who is of the Virginia Association of Gun Owners. Morgan cut in again and again, as he shouted down Van Cleave. I am an expatriate Englishman myself. This man was involved in the nefarious practices of the rotten newspaper industry in England. They destroyed peoples lives with their trickery and chicanery and this man, Morgan got off scot free. He was involved himself.

The man is a subversive. I live just a mile from the Upper Michigan border. Hunting is a major industry starting November. Guns proliferate. Murders by firearm are extremely rare in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I am not a gun owner myself, but I can spot the phonies a mile off.

The bottom line is that they do not give a damn except for their own agenda. Morgan does not care one whit. Phew! excuse the rant.
