Is Piers Morgan now able to sit after that spanking that Jones gave him?
IMPORTANT POINTS TO NOTE IN COMPARING CRIME IN THE US AND BRITAIN:
* The UK does not merely prevent its citizens from obtaining military guns, but any gun whatsoever (with very few exceptions), including the handguns with which Piers implies he has no quarrel.
* After the Dunblane massacre in Scotland in 1996, in which 16 schoolchildren and a teacher were killed (and 15 injured) by a man wielding only handguns, Britain’s already strict gun laws were enlarged to include them. The newspaper leading the call for this ban was the Daily Mirror — the editor? A certain Piers Morgan.
* Britain has relatively few gun DEATHS (true). But Piers Morgan fails to take account of GUN CRIME in the UK, only gun deaths. If he did, his argument would lose steam.
Since the gun ban in 1998, the total number of FIREARM OFFENCES in England and Wales has risen by 89%, and in some areas of the country has leapt by as much as 500%. Gang culture once never seen in the UK is now rife — disproving the notion that banning guns will weed out gang culture or the use of guns.
* Additionally, according to a study by UN affiliated European Institute for Crime Prevention and Control last year, it was found that Britain has higher robbery, assault, and burglary rates than America. When criminals know you are unlikely to have a gun, what is to stop them from robbing you, beating you up, or simply breaking into your house?
* Britain was not only the burglary and assault capital of Europe, it also had higher than average rates of car theft, robbery and sex offences, and came second only to Ireland in the overall crime league.
* In 2010, Derrick Bird went on a rampage around Cumbria with a shotgun and a rifle, killing 12 and injuring 11. His casual shooting-fest lasted nearly four hours as he drove around vast areas of land completely unopposed in this gun-free country. Thanks to British leftists like Piers Morgan, Bird knew that there was unlikely to be anyone armed to stop him. Only when armed police were dispatched did he commit suicide. Shocked socialists could only babble about how this proved that the country with some of the strictest gun laws in the world needed more gun control.
I betcha Piers Morgan is for giving Argentina the “ windswept Falklands with their peasant sheep herder population.”
It’s the elitists’ cowardly way of dealing with his own country’s interests.
Piers, go preach to your communist choir.
Pierced Moron seriously needs ratings. This is how he bumped himself up a viewer or two.
It won’t last long, he’ll be back in his ratings spider hole in a month or two.
Flash in the pan?
Jones looked like a lunatic on that show. When the gun grabbers want to show just how dangerous gun owners are, they can point to Jones as the new poster boy. He needs to have a better strategy before he starts shouting. What an attention grabbing idiot.
If you believe that, I've got a big shiny bridge to sell you.There are more guns than the government wants you to know, SWAT teams, special units,and arsenals at police stations. The current so-called Conservative government might admit to it if you ask. There have been too many cases when British police "on the way to, or from shooting practice" have intervened to stop criminal activities
