It was the Sandy Hook massacre that started Piers Morgan on his quest to end gun violence in America, but this week’s shootings in Chicago, usually overlooked by the CNN host, will have to be reason enough to kick-start his tireless campaign for federal gun control. Morgan has made the AR-15 the focus of his gun grab, so switching gears to Chicago, where handguns are the weapon of choice, will require him to broaden his approach. We think he’s still OK with each citizen owning a musket.
Chicago's supposedly 'tough' gun laws are utterly pointless when states around it have weak gun laws. America needs to take federal action.

The gun 'rights' lobby can tell me the only answer to gun violence is more guns until they're blue in the face. It's utter nonsense.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 6, 2013
Note that the word “rights” is in what the Brits call inverted commas. Morgan likes Americans so much he’s willing to curb their Constitutional freedoms if it will help keep them safe.
There will be more mass shooting atrocities in America soon. And more hollow words from cowardly politicians. Until the people say 'enough'.

So, guns need to be banned nationwide to keep them from reaching Chicago eventually? Then Chicago will be crime free?

@piersmorgan then why is gun crime surrounding states less than chicagos?

@piersmorgan so…Wisconsin and Indiana are responsible for Chicago's murder rate? Why can't you blame the criminals?

@piersmorgan If it is states around Chicago, then why arent there violence and murder rates as high as Chicago?
— Gary (@garyalan82) July 6, 2013
@piersmorgan absurd…many other cities surrounded like Chicago and don't have same problems.

@piersmorgan Chicago murders are committed by Chicago thugs, with chicago guns. Those things don't migrate by themselves. Shut it Morgan

. @piersmorgan that doesn't explain diff in murder rate in NYC vs Chicago. Plus, Sun Times found most guns from IL http://t.co/iXKx0UV5KQ

It’s time to stop asking who will stop the violence in Chicago and start asking when Piers will take the problem into his own hands.
@piersmorgan Why don't you go to Chicago, and ask a few gang bangers why they kill people? Good exercise for you.

@piersmorgan – Go to the streets of Chicago and tell them to stop being meanies.

@piersmorgan Piers why don't you just take your butt to Chicago and stand in the street with Rahm Emanuel, and say, I AM PIERS MORGAN! STOP!
