CNN anchor Piers Morgan devoted a considerable portion of his Friday program to pushing for more gun control, breaking with those who have advised delaying such talk until after a period of mourning for shooting victims in Aurora, Colorado.
Morgan not only began Piers Morgan Tonight with a "Piers' Special Commentary" calling for more gun laws, but, later in the program, he included three guests who argued in favor of more gun control, with only one to argue against, with whom the CNN host ended up becoming agitated as Denver University Professor David Kopel scolded Morgan for not waiting longer before launching into a divisive political debate.
Shortly after beginning the show, Morgan played a clip of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg advising the presidential candidates to talk about the gun control issue, and then began his commentary:
I agree with Mayor Bloomberg. I fully respect the Second Amendment and every American's desire to defend themselves in their homes. But I simply don't believe the Framers of the Constitution would have ever envisioned a disturbed young man utilizing his right to bear arms by legally buying four guns including an assault weapon capable of firing hundreds of rounds a minute, specifically to murder fellow Americans.
There are now almost as many guns in America as there are people, and this can only surely lead to more senseless deaths. Something has to be done, and that debate will start tonight...

It would be different if they hadn’t effed up their own country ... National health service is a disaster and muzzies running wild !
Pardon me for asking this, you lime-sucker, but: Who the &$#% are you?!??!
Can’t say as I ever watched the pompous donkey. He would not be welcome in my neck o’ the woods.
Gun control is one shot one kill, gun control is muzzle control, gun control is not shooting your own penis with a concealed pocket gun.
These are the same idiots that blame SUV’s for killing people. Blaming guns, SUV’s, knives, claw hammers, screw driver’s, or any other inanimate object, rather than the person demonstrates a liberal mentality.
Whenever something like this happens the left wants to take the guns away from the people who didn’t do it.
Why don’t he go back where he came from.
I wish someone would ship this pompous limey ahole Piers Morgan back to his stinkin’ U.K. and send Martin Bashir, Salman Rushdie and Sharon Osbourne back there with him.
Those who come to take my guns will have them one bullet at a time. Period, end of discussion.
Its about personal safety against civilian kooks and government kooks.
Make each shot count.Since liberal’s are so anti-gun then if they have guns they should give them up.
Facts have never mattered to the collectivists. Morgan should be deported. His 46 viewers should go back to watching their relatives on Jerry Springer.
Morgan is confortable with his armed security guard no? hypocritical morons
If Piers Morgan thinks shootings are bad now wait until his Government comes for the guns.
It won’t be innocents shot, but gun grabbers.
Who watches CNN ?
He should shut his pie-hole....
And return to Londonistan...

There the urban-brit radical muzzies can give him some personal lessons about the right of self-defense...
...He is another dumb@$$ with a faux-highbrow accent...
Morgan + CNN... couldn't be more sympatico...
I agree with you 100%. Even if he were an American citizen he’s still suppose to be a reporter.
When Piers Morgan made his remark, three of the five people watching nationwide probably agreed. Who cares what he says? The reason he is on CNN over here is because the Brits already know he’s an idiot.
Here! Here! I agree. No one watches Morgan's show anyway. Even Rachael Maddow beats him out every evening. As for Osbourne, yuck! My wife tells me she brags about getting in on with her husband at least five times a week. Yuck! Yuck! Yuck! Gouge out my eyes! Ozzie must gag her first just so he doesn't have to listen to her.
