With the noted exception of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, America’s leaders continue to disappoint CNN’s Piers Morgan, whose week-long crusade for something to be done about guns in America led to a dead end in today’s interview with Mitt Romney.
"Somehow thinking that laws against the instruments of violence will make violence go away…is misguided" @MittRomney http://t.co/uf48a6Ne

"…trying to collect 300M guns would be lunacy…that's not going to happen in this country. We have a right to bear arms." @MittRomney

Shorter Piers: what gun measures does it take, Mr Romney, to make your country as disarmed and impotent against crime as we are in the UK?

Piers Morgan just doesn't get it. Lunatics/evil people don't obey laws. Why is that hard to comprehend? http://t.co/CTZjpCGh

Those hoping Morgan would lay into Romney as he did “More Guns, Less Crime” author John Lott earlier in the week were sorely disappointed.

Talk about a soft, no pushback or hard question interview- that Mitt Interview SUCKED. Shame on you Piers Morgan! You were like a fluffer!

Watching Piers Morgan interview with Mitt Romney. We learned nothing. Piers missed a lot of opportunities & no specifics.

Romney proudly defended his time at Bain Capital.
"I'm proud of the fact that we were able to strengthen enterprises that now employ a lot of people" @MittRomney on accomplishments at #Bain

Piers couldn't get a glove on him on Bain or guns. He's nailing this interview. He's a workaholic prodigy, unlike our President.

Romney supporters are glad they tuned in to “Piers Morgan Tonight,” at least this one time.

Team Obama is worried tonight after this Piers Morgan interview. Romney oozed confidence and competence and Ann Romney is amazing.
