I seriously doubt that he’s going to jail. But the D.C. Police Department apparently has nothing better to do than examine whether he violated the city’s gun laws.
Was the moderator of Meet the Press caught on tape, armed and dangerous, liberating a few Slurpees from a 7-Eleven? No, he waved a high-capacity ammunition clip on the air while interviewing Wayne LaPierre, asking it shouldn’t be banned.
Was it a stunt? Yep, and an eye-catching one. Was Gregory being aggressive with the NRA chief, or seeming to push gun control in a confrontational interview? All that is up for debate.
But a police probe over what I assume was an empty ammo clip is a total waste of time. What it demonstrates above all is that journalists are getting ensnared in the political war over gun control.
Even more absurd than a criminal inquiry into David Gregory is an effort by pro-gun enthusiasts to kick Piers Morgan out of the country. His crime? Carrying on a passionate crusade for gun control.
Thus, more than 68,000people have signed a petition urging that the CNN host be deported back to Britain. That’s right, they are so outraged about his perceived attack on the Second Amendment that they’re willing to ignore the First by banishing Morgan for his views.
I’m not going to defend Piers telling gun advocate Larry Pratt, “You’re an unbelievably stupid man, aren’t you?” But raising the specter of deportation is ludicrous.
Morgan has been cheeky on Twitter, saying: “If I do get deported from America for wanting fewer gun murders, are there any other countries that will have me?”
The gun issue, in the wake of Newtown, could not be more serious. These sideshows are anything but.
I wonder why they didn’t use a prop.
Re; #27, Even the French perpetrators of The Terror grew tried of Thomas Paine’s drunkards BS and kicked him out. The Brits didn’t want him but they took him in.
Me too. They could have made one out of cardboard, glue and paint that would have looked exactly the same.
These ___hole journalists like injecting that word “clip” anywhere it doesn’t belong.
That’s his picture in the dictionary under “talentless hack”.
Now he runs his lowbrow scandal sheet style of reportage
on this side of the pond.
J in the C ? Amazing anyone remembers that series. Whatever happened to Pandit Baba?
See, he’s such a great guy for “wanting fewer gun murders”.
This is the whole point for most liberals - self-righteousness through advocacy.
In NJ the intent of charging someone with AWB violation for EACH illegal mag was suppose to be applied to street gang. The hope was catching a perp with one illegal gun and several illegal mags. Thus on a simple gun charge the police and DA can rack up charges and time in prison if they find an illegal gun or rifle on a gang member. The anti gun people also back this to make it onerous for anyone who attempts to ignore the ban. DC has the same mentality. Guess what, liberal MSM is about to learn what happens when gov overdoes what they originally wanted to do.
Howie it is a 30 round magazine, not a clip. How can you be so ignorant and pretend to maintain moral high ground? Your profession calls almost calls semi-automatic’s machine guns and almost all pistols Glocks.
Did you skip or fail FACTS 101 in school?
“The British have started a petition asking us to keep him. They dont’ want him either.”
Let’s compromise. Put him in a rowboat in the middle of the Atlantic and let the Brits come and pick him up.
Why not remember a great series? I have it on DVD and LOVE the novel. Pandit Baba, unfortunately, wins in the end to no one’s satisfaction.
Biggest Jerk on TV there ever was, ever has been.
Morgan is a subversive, plain and simple.
Like good Leftists, they get their talking points from the WH and Axelrod every day by fax and email.
He’s a worthless Brit with a mentality that we separated from long ago. And despite those who are trying to pull us back into it (Obama, Kerry, etc), the people seem to still have that spirit deep within them. They haven’t been duped this time, as evidenced by the number of weapons being sold and the increase in NRA memberships.
The reason the British went to Concord was to sieze the hidden store of arms there. Remove the people’s weapons and it’s easier to sujugate them. Thank God at the time we had men who “dared call it a conspiracy.” Times haven’t changed, just the worthless leaders.
No, what it demonstrates above all is how futile laws banning full capacity magazines are.
The left again trying to silence the voices supporting the constitution.
I love the term “gun murders”. Where do these Libtards come up with that logic? Are Guns a living entity that desire to murder their Human Masters?
Are we living in a a Stephen King Novel now?
Pees Morgan is just peed off because the Colonists were armed and kicked Britain’s butts back to their island. And to rub salt in the wound, they needed the USA to save their butts in WWI, WWII and the Falkings War.
So your saying that we now know where the steel went when they melted down that evil car?
As I recall, they crushed Christine, they didn’t melt it (her?). I wonder if the Police had a Buyback Program for 57 Plymouths?
I think I’m going to open up the Gun Cabinet and start naming my Guns. The Libtards will fear them more when you introduce them by name.
