Poor Piers Morgan. Not only is there a ratings war with Megyn Kelly on the horizon, but there hasn’t been a good gun massacre to exploit lately. Then, when he tries to revive the debate, he ends up saying something ridiculous about AR-15 holsters that utterly destroys whatever credibility he had left. Maybe it’s the righteous outrage that makes it so hard for Morgan to sustain a coherent argument; maybe it’s just because he likes Americans so much — except for George Zimmerman’s brother, Robert, and those NRA nuts.
Those who accuse me of being 'anti-American' for my gun campaigning miss the point – I like Americans so much I want them to stay alive.

.@piersmorgan Americans like US the way it is… We have something the UK doesn't: The Bill of RIGHTS. We're very good @ "staying alive" #2A

Britain, Germany, Japan, Australia all had lengthy histories of extreme gun violence. Then they all got rid of most guns. So can America.

Guns are guns, and they all kill – as your brother can tell you > RT @rzimmermanjr @piersmorgan bananas, oranges, and pears..are not apples.

But if guns are guns and they all kill, why has “Musket” Morgan set his sights almost exclusively on the AR-15, holstered or not? Put on some grave dancing music and he’ll explain.

Adam Lanza's AR-15 blew 3-11 holes the size of golf balls in each of the 20 children he murdered at Sandy Hook. And America did NOTHING.

I refuse to believe that the vast majority of decent Americans don't want to do something to stop the country's appalling gun violence.

Make your voices heard, stand up to the @NRA and bully your politicians into doing something. Before the next Aurora/Newtown massacre.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) August 10, 2013
Adam Lanza's mother owned 6 guns because the @NRA says that makes you safer. Her deranged son stole them, shot her…then blew up a school.

.@piersmorgan @NRA Key word: "deranged". I'll keep my guns to protect us from any other deranged person/a who would follow suit. #2A #TCOT

If America did nothing in response to the Newtown massacre, we must have dreamed all of those new gun control restrictions being passed in New York, Colorado, Delaware, New Jersey and elsewhere, not to mention that vote in the Senate.
Remember, American politicians didn't change a single law after 20 children were blown to pieces at Sandy Hook. Quite astonishing cowardice.

@piersmorgan What laws could have been changed that would have prevented Sandy Hook piers? God man you are so Dense.

Ban AR-15s > RT @shoelessjoe255 @piersmorgan What laws could have been changed that would have prevented Sandy Hook piers? you are so Dense.

.@piersmorgan Yes. The Problem of your Ignorance. Tell us what makes an AR-15 an AR-15, since you want it banned. #NoGoogling

He’ll have to get back to you on that. How guns work isn’t the only thing Morgan doesn’t understand.
