  • 30 000 Sign Petition To Kick Piers Morgan Out Of America Over Gun Control Views

    Following this month’s massacre at Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, CNN host Piers Morgan has called for tighter gun control measures. But instead of a pat on the back for what appears to be a pretty obvious statement, thousands of Americans have now signed a petition calling for Piers Morgan to be deported over his statements.

    It all started last week Tuesday, when Morgan interviewed Gun Owners of America executive director, Larry Pratt. During the interview Morgan appeared incredulous when Pratt suggested more weapons as the solution:

    You’re an unbelievably stupid man, aren’t you? You have absolutely no coherent argument. You don’t actually give a damn about the gun murder rate in America.

    Following the interview, a Texas journalist posted a petition on the White House website alleging Morgan “is engaged in a hostile attack” against the US Constitution by targeting the Second Amendment:

    We demand that Mr Morgan be deported immediately for his effort to undermine the Bill of Rights and for exploiting his position as a national network television host to stage attacks against the rights of American citizens.

    Many Americans follow a literal interpretation of the Second Amendment, which enshrines the “right to bear arms” in the US Constitution. Since being posted, the petition had garnered more than 30 000 signatures by late yesterday – already surpassing the 25 000 required to get a response from the White House!

    But Morgan refuses to back down from his position, and posted the following message on Twitter:

    Ironic US gun rights campaign to deport me for ‘attacking Second Amendment rights’ – is my opinion not protected under 1st Amendment rights?
