What a BS interview. I'm sick of these shooters getting away with blaming it on mental illness. Most of these people that commit these shooting are cold calculated killers not mentally ill. I have schizophrenia. When I was sick there was no way I could have planned anything that these people have done. Now because of these mass shooters their coming after my gun rights. I am a sportsman and I've been hunting my entire life. As a citizen I can't go out and purchase a gun.

I wonder if Piers Morgan has any body gaurds and what type of weaponry those guards hold.

Would you, placed in that situation rather of had the opportunity to at least try to save your parents lives?
Like she said in the video, sure it could of jammed or she could of missed, but would that be reason enough for you to not even try?

The way the American government has managed to become the way it has, is from unlimited spending into the PR and media of it's citizens, slowly worming it's way into the mind of the average person. Not just the average 'American' because their government has the whole WORLD in its hand literally.
From the genius minds and insane budgets associated with this slow take over, would you not expect anything less in hindsight? All of a sudden ALOT of information is becoming extremely available extremely fast, so the consensual 'wake up' of the world to America and its people is one of a 'too little to late' attitude. I think deep down people know the only way it will change is civil war to oust the corrupt and bring them to real justice, once the government takes their guns, well then what's the use of freedom of speech when your shouting at a prison wall?

Anyone who watched this video and thought Morgan got owned is living in a deluded fantasy world. As mentioned already in this thread, the way some people fawn over The Constitution and revere the 2nd, is cringe-worthy.
It seems as though some people think politicians back then were benevolent demi-gods with nothing but love for their people(apart from the black ones, who weren't considered people yet) and every following govt has beeen a little more corrupt than the last one. It's obvious these people would rather continue amassing more weaponry and prepare to kill their fellow Americans again, than do the slightly harder job of picking more decent politicians to serve the public and ensuring their police and military leaders aren't the types who'll command their subordinates to carry out atrocities against its populace.

Anywhere normal and they will just use their hands.
IF it were your intent to honor your ancestors, yes ... however, you've already revealed your passive preference, haven't ya ?
Going back the same amount of time, my ancestors were Scots who were a thorn in the side of the English, and had they all been caught and hanged, I wouldn't be here typing this. Now I live in the NW of England, should I still be harrying the Crown and trying to disrupt English rule?

Her having a handgun in her purse would have done nothing for those hit by the truck or those who were shot while she was still gathering her wits, and as she readily admits, it might still not have helped stop the carnage, had her gun jammed or she'd missed with her first shot. Why can't you just accept the obvious - the more unregistered guns there are in a society, the greater the chances are they are going to be used in a criminal act?

REALLY?? really?? So because something detrimental MAY have happened she should not have the right to defend herself! That is what you are saying!! For God's sake will you listen to yourself!! Are you advocating dictatorship! And her gun was REGISTERED and not ILLEGAL. Don't be obtuse.
only you can answer such a question.
I'm asking you, should I still have the mindset of my ancestors, or should I be able to see that what happened than has no relation to my life now and that a lot of water has flown under the bridge since then, changing the landscape in myriad ways.

When you regulate something, you decide what can and cannot be done.
That is the very essence of prohibiting, because in order to create the regulatory power to make you choose option A rather than option B, they must prohibit option B.

See folks, this is the ultimate weakness in the anti-gun arguments.
Women and their rights to defend from rapists.
And rapists who want to disarm them.
Exploit this.
Their weakness is revealed to all.
Control the argument, they have no decent rebut to this.
