After months of ranting and raving about “universal” checks, bans on semi-automatic rifles, and bans on standard-capacity ammunition magazines designed for defensive purposes, Piers Morgan ended his last TV show last Saturday by advocating an end to civilian ownership of all firearms. Lecturing Americans one last time, Morgan said “guns belong on a military battlefield. . . . Not in the hands of civilians.”
We can at least credit Morgan for his belated honesty. Over the last year or so, Morgan rubbed us the wrong way, as he did millions of TV viewers. He talked when he should have listened. He disrespected his show’s guests. He repetitively engaged in self-righteous (and self-indulgent) monologues, while cutting off others. He repeatedly went out of his way to show that he didn’t care what we thought about his personal behavior, his extreme views on guns, and his mistaken belief that Americans would base their political decisions on his own English sensibilities. That hasn’t been a winning formula since at least 1776.
....
In the end, however, at least Morgan came clean about where he would like the debate over gun control to end. Other gun control advocates are not nearly so candid. Take the Brady Campaign. It began in 1974 as the National Council to Control Handguns and openly admitted that it wanted handguns to be registered, and then their private ownership banned. Yet today it pretends that registration and its potential use in enforcing a firearm ban has nothing to do with the group’s support for a "universal" checks law.

We need to have a national Piers Morgan sucker punch week. We can take donations for prizes. Knock out game aficionados who submit video get a chance at the door prize. Anyone using a firearm in any manner will be disqualified.
Spread the word.
P*ss Morgan spilled the beans on the gungrabber crowd - ban ALL guns!
Watch for Sarah Brady to soothingly reassure us she doesn’t want ALL guns banned, just the scary ugly ones.
Oh wait! We already have one!
I’ve already erased him from my memory. he was just another CNN failure.
No they won't, which is why there is going to be bloodshed in the future, when they go house to house.
Is he going to spring for the Gun Free Zone signs.
Yet I have seen and heard his rants on venues like this one, so can say with knowledge of his views, "Don't go away mad, just go away."
Hey Piers: May you never have car trouble on a long, desolate country road, at night.
One of my favorite things to say when someone seems to be thinking too much of themselves, or when a situation is just a worrisome disaster is: “In a hundred years, who will know?”
Puts everything into perspective....
Since the ban is working so great in the UK. Go back to it PM, you’ll then feel a lot safer.
The NRA should give him a nice send off with a fruit basket, maybe heavy on fruits known for their laxative effects.
The best thing about Piers Morgan is, if you put him in one of those 1940s baby costumes with a ruff around the neck and a frilly white bonnet, he would actually look good.
I think he should have been escorted to events and into the CNN building by guards carrying red vines candy in their holsters.
The Dem/libs have been engaging in a steady push to infringe on our right to keep and bear arms for decades. And this is how it has been working out for them in the last two decades...
And in the last two months... (Nov. 2012 and Dec. 2012)
And it continues...
And there is more...
MOLON LAVE! WE'LL BUY MILLIONS MORE. ;-)
“To hell with your ‘little book.’ Only my body guards and important politicians and celebrities should have guns.”
Cheesus, this clown has more "farewells" than Barbara Streisand.
did the Taliban write his script??
Hey Piers: May you never have car trouble on a desolate road in Bed-Stuy, or Compton, at night.
corrected that.
