We haven’t heard much from Second Amendment scold Piers “Musket” Morgan lately, but the president’s miming of a gunshot for whatever purpose in that BuzzFeed video has Morgan up in arms. How could the president “joke” about guns after having done essentially nothing in response to the mass shooting in Newtown, Conn.?
Maybe I'd laugh more at Obama's gun pose if he'd kept a single one of his promises to Newtown families re guns.pic.twitter.com/cZqSNDIKq0

Never mind that Morgan was calling out the president; his supporters quickly let Morgan know the complaint department is located in the Capitol building.

@GPollowitz @piersmorgan Absolutely crazy the NRA can shutdown a 90% majority in favor of gun control laws.

There’s that bogus 90 percent number again.
@piersmorgan he's a president and not a king. It is congress that makes law in America Mr. Morgan. What would you have him do?
— Kaz (@kazic284) February 14, 2015
@piersmorgan can't blame him! Congress clearly, well and the American public!

No, you can’t blame the president, who was utterly powerless. He certainly could have kept his finger gun in its holster, though.
100,000+ people a year hit by gunfire in America – and President Obama thinks it's 'cool' to promote healthcare by pretending to fire a gun.

@piersmorgan that's totally harsh and uncalled for. I think you didn't understand the message behind the advert.

Does anyone?
@STrimel @piersmorgan How many people did he hurt with the pretend gun (i.e., HIS FINGER)??? Be real.

@STrimel @piersmorgan I'm not a fan of Obama but it was really a gun gesture was it? It's what vain people do in a mirror.

Was it really a gun gesture? Is the “Toaster Pastry Gun Freedom Act” a real piece of legislation?

OK, Piers, you have at least one supporter willing to criticize the president.
Agree w @piersmorgan: Pres. Obama, disappointed you pretend to fire gun to promote healthcare. Gun violence is epidemic. Not cool.

@NathanNephew @piersmorgan: symbols really matter.
— Suzanne Trimel??? (@STrimel) February 14, 2015
@STrimel @piersmorgan how so? Do you think there will be a lot of shootings because people are following his lead?
— Nathan Nephew (@NathanNephew) February 14, 2015
@NathanNephew: No, but still, why do it?

Exactly. Can’t the man just live?
