Do you think the idea of tyranny is ridiculous and why? If not, why should you be worried?
I don't think that it an issue as big as i am led to believe here on ATS.
If Semi-automaic weapons were banned tommorow and the government declared martial law a week later, what would you do to defend yourself if you disagreed with what the government was doing?
If unlikely and abstract scenarios happen, then they happen. Nothing I can do about that. I cant prepare for everything.
I do not, however, believe i could fight off the US military.
If the founding fathers though this was an important right for the people, shouldn't Americans fight any change to that right?
The Founding Fathers are not the end all be all. They were human and as such had the chance of being wrong about many things. This is the weakest argument in this discussion.

And if you do want to give CNN a call the article offeres this ...
“Please call CNN to demand that Piers Morgan be fired for advocating political murder with assault rifles on last night’s show. Free speech is one thing, but we cannot allow the liberal media to take things this far against those that oppose amnesty or support gun rights etc.. Call 404.827.1500 and wait for a human operator,” Gheen encouraged. Read more at mobile.wnd.com...

No, you are the one predicting the future.
Morgan appeared as a guest on the satirical news quiz Have I Got News for You in an episode transmitted on 24 May 1996. In it, show regular Ian Hislop accused Morgan of having him followed and having his house watched. The conflict escalated and at one point the host, Angus Deayton, asked if they wished to go outside and have a fight. Later on, guest panellist Clive Anderson confronted Morgan commenting "the last time I was rude to you, you sent photographers to my doorstep the next day", to which Piers Morgan retorted, "You won't see them this time." The audience responded loudly in favour of Hislop.
In October 2003, journalist and television personality Jeremy Clarkson reportedly emptied a glass of water over Morgan during the last flight of Concorde. In March 2004, at the British Press Awards, Clarkson punched Morgan three times in a clash over The Mirror's coverage of his private life, and accusations that Clarkson did not write for his column in The Sun himself. Morgan reported on a rapprochement with Clarkson in the epilogue of his book, Don't You Know Who I Am?.
Second , how did Christians get brought into this and who says they are not suppose to kill ? Think it was no murder but killing was just fine .

Well maybe you should check a few governments from the past who disarmed their people and them proceeded to slaughter them.
Without half decent weapons, of course you couldn't but thats assuming you would be fighting the military in the first place.
Yeah, I guess they had slaves also, right? But when it comes to protecting the people of America and to this very day, the 2nd amendment is a perfect example of how they were thinking about the future of your country. Move forward 237 years and look what you are facing now. Tyranny is a high possibility. Your government has the right to kill any US citizen they feel right now, in America or abroad... But I guess that is justified though because the government says so.
especially considering the title of this thread
I am not talking about his job. I am talking about the hypocrisy in this thread.
i don't know about all, but that would work for me.
You all just want him to shut up
nah, we won that battle once already and it seems he's fanning the flames toward round 2.
Sounds like you guys are the ones interested in tyranny

nah, that's courtesy.
his opinion is presented un-restricted on public broadcast ... he has no room to complain.
stating we don't want you here is equally protected
if he doesn't like the consequence, he should have invoked the 5th Amendment.

I don't care abut his job on CNN. What I care about is the hypocrisy of DEPORTING or KILLING him simply because he holds an opinion you don't like.

then post in a thread where such opinion applies.
this thread is about his getting booted off CNN ... which would be delightful, indeed.
his actions do have consequences and i cannot believe you'd assume otherwise.
