After Only 3 Days, White House Petition to Deport Piers Morgan Gets Enough Signatures

As we reported last week, CNN’s Piers Morgan came completely out of the closet with respect to his hatred for guns, calling Gun Owner’s of America President Larry Pratt an idiot, among other things. Mr. Pratt got the better of the exchange:

MORGAN: Yes, I know — I know why sales of these weapons have been soaring in the last few days. It’s down to idiots like you. Mr. Pratt, thank you for joining me. When we come back –

PRATT: Thank you for your high-level argument, Mr. Morgan. It’s really very good.

MORGAN: You know what, you wouldn’t understand the meaning of the phrase high-level argument. You are a dangerous man espousing dangerous nonsense. And you shame your country.

PRATT: Disarmament is dangerous. Ask Neville Chamberlain, your role model.

As a result of Morgan’s outburst, Second Amendment loving Americans filed a petition with the White House. It states:

British Citizen and CNN television host Piers Morgan is engaged in a hostile attack against the U.S. 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.

Within just three days, the petition exceeded the twenty-five thousand petitioners necessary to generate a White House response. At the time of this article, it had well over thirty thousand signatures:

Piers Morgan loses it in this exchange, calling 2nd Amendment patriot Larry Pratt “incredibly stupid,” among other things. What made Morgan so mad? Mr. Pratt ran circles around him:

MORGAN: Can you answer my question?

PRATT: I’m answering your question. I wish you could understand it. Because you’re talking against self-defense.

MORGAN: Would you like to see — would you like to see — would you like to see —

PRATT: You’re talking against people being able to protect themselves.

MORGAN: Would you like to see teachers armed —

PRATT: And you don’t want to hear it, that’s why you keep interrupting me.

MORGAN: No, no, I don’t mind hearing it. I think it’s complete nonsense. But I mind hearing it. You would like to see —

PRATT: Well, Brits tend to do that, don’t they?

MORGAN: Stop being so facetious. I just want you to answer this one question. Post what happened at Sandy Hook, your answer to this problem of repeated use of this weapon with these high-capacity magazines is to continue letting Americans buy them with impunity, and to not concern yourself with these mass shootings. Is that right?

PRATT: The Second Amendment means what it says, and meanwhile, you want to continue laws against self-defense. Laws that prohibit self-defense. Laws that prohibit teachers and other faculty, other members of the administration in schools from being able to defend themselves if they have a concealed carry permit. The laws prohibit them right now. We have been lobbying against those laws since they were put on. We will continue to do so, pointing out that that is where the problem is. And for you to support them means that you’re really blind to the role that that plays in enabling murderers to operate within impunity.

MORGAN: Yes, I know — I know why sales of these weapons have been soaring in the last few days. It’s down to idiots like you. Mr. Pratt, thank you for joining me. When we come back —

PRATT: Thank you for your high-level argument, Mr. Morgan. It’s really very good.

MORGAN: You know what, you wouldn’t understand the meaning of the phrase high-level argument. You are a dangerous man espousing dangerous nonsense. And you shame your country.

PRATT: Disarmament is dangerous. Ask Neville Chamberlain, your role model.

MORGAN: Yes. Sure. I know all about role models and you’re not one of them.
