This is what this country has come to; we don't like what you're telling us so get out. Sounds like the Third Reich or the Soviet Empire, definitely not something built on the democracy and the first amendment

I didn't particularly like Mr. Morgan until now.  Good on him for pointing out the obvious.

Who gets covered by the US Constitution might not matter much here. We know that is pretty ambiguous anyway. Sounds like Mr. Morgan has worn out his welcome in the eyes of many and they're calling for him to be gone from the USA just because he's disagreeable.

With all dues respect, or without, that dude WAS unbelievably stupid

So they are saying no one can voice a opinion on TV against the second amendment but they want to block the first amendment in the name of gun laws.. haha.. this is too funny....

 

Taking guns from legal owners is not going to happen...I do support them making sure the people who can get them have no conditions that make them at risk for being some gun carrying psycho...but still that does nothing for the people who steal a gun from a responsible owner and use it in a crime...granted gun owners as one myself I take full precautions to ensure my guns are sealed away in a safe so they are not easily accessible to a thief if one breaks into my place ... taking guns away from legal owners will just mean more bad guys have guns than the rest of us sane people... to me that is a wash!

I also wanted to add something else. I believe that trying to deport this man for voicing his opinion is, by definition, anti-American. The constitution means more than just government and laws. It defines who we are as a people. We as Americans celebrate our unique freedoms. I, for one, am anti-gun. There, I said it. However, I believe that the fundamental rights that define us as a people are more important than that. I do NOT believe the 2nd amendment should be abolished, and I believe trying to eliminate that right, however much I believe in my stance on firearms, is an attack on American freedom and who we are as a people. That is one of the primary rights that defines us as a free nation. I think it may be one of the most idiotic phrases I've ever heard uttered, but to be honest, I think it applies here: If you don't like it, you can leave. That doesn't mean we don't care about what our people think, it means that this country is defined by its fundamental rights. It would be a travesty to change them. It is our culture. It is who we are. Simply put, if the American lifestyle isn't for you, THAT'S FINE, but you might be better served living elsewhere. 

 

The same holds true for the 1st amendment. Picking and choosing who gets our amazing freedoms based on legal technicalities is completely missing the point of being an American. We are the LAND of the free. We celebrate freedom for those who live here in our land, citizen or not. To say that one man who lives in these lands and celebrates the first amendment every day of his life as A CAREER should be given the boot for exercising that right is just about as un-American as it gets. The WHOLE POINT of this wonderful freedom is that the people of this land have the RIGHT to declare what they like or dislike. You can say what you want about the Occupy movement, but their protests are a thousand times more American by principle than having a blind sense of nationalism and accepting whatever our government does. Patriotism is admirable, but trying to silence the voice of someone living in these lands is UN-AMERICAN. 

 

Argue the legal technicalities all you want. I believe America stands for something much MORE than that, and my cynical attitude about many aspects of our country is the very thing that gives me great pride in being an American. This country is about more than what's allowed, it is about the fundamental PRINCIPLES of FREEDOM behind it. 

As can be expected, we have shifted the focus to our personal desire to feel tough and ready for action away from the problem of little kids being shot in the face by a disturbed person who has access to weapons that have no rational reason to be in his home other than "His mother likes guns." 

 

There's a problem folks and it isn't Piers Morgan!!

Since when did the 2nd amendment override the 1st amendment? People who go for this kind of thing are the people giving gun rights activists a bad name. 

 

For the record I think we can all agree Piers Morgan is just obnoxious, though.

Thomas Jefferson was a gun fanatic. His take on the constitution? A quote he wrote stated: "Laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times".

 

1. Liberalism = mental illness

2. Nominate Piers Morgan  2012 Darwin award winner,what a tard.

I say we make him an honorary citizen. We need more sane people like him who are not afraid to speak the truth.

This simply continues to show the ignorance of gun lovers... this guy makes a sane comment and the gun nuts want to persecute him... these gun lovers are such total idiots.

Talk radio host Michael Savage is considering legal action against Britain’s top homeland security official after she released today a list grouping him with terrorists and neo-Nazi murderers banned from entry because the government believes their views might provoke violence.

In a telephone interview with WND, Savage said he is still waiting to hear back from attorneys, but he noted Britain has very strict anti-defamation laws.

Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said she decided to publicize the list of 16 people banned since October to show the type of behavior Britain will not tolerate, according to U.K. news reports.

 

this is why we need to have our constitution and every right it affords us..

That's right, wingnuts. Let's deport anyone who doesn't agree with our parochial, antiquated views and our violent way of life.

Ah yes. You can say anything you want as long as I agree with it! Sorry guys and gals. I didn't hear nor have I read Mr Morgan's rant and quite frankly that is not the point. You second amendment people need to realize there is another amendment involved here. The FIRST AMENDMENT. Yes it came first! And it guarantees that anyone, white, black, gay, straight, natural born or naturalized citizen, legal or illegal alien, has the right to voice his or her opinion without fear of our government, or fanatics, taking any action against them. Go ahead. Sign the petition if you want. (After all you do have the right to express your opinion.) But if you do it just shows your real lack of understanding what our Constitution means and stands for.

since when does being"offensive" serve to be deported or expatriated? Piers would be in line behind a whole lot of politicians, talk show hosts and comedians! No wonder he's smiling. The guy is not stupid. My guess is that he said it on purpose, expecting the response it received from gun advocates while knowing it would increase his ratings. 

  Were that many people NOT listening when Obama said this was the fourth time in his presidency he'd had to provide solace to the families of victims to gun violence? The Connecticut massacre was not an isolated case. The cause is more complex than simply than access to guns and stricter gun control by itself won't be the "silver bullet".  A number of social issues also come into play. The tough question isn't going to be gun control. The difficult hurdle will be understanding who the "bad guys" are, why they are bad and keeping guns out of their hands.

We also need to keep in mind, the world is watching. The  majority of the developed world have far stricter gun controls and far less gun violence. The question they are asking is how many more innocent lives will be paying the price for the freedom to bear assault rifles?

An incredibly stupid gun freak. Who would have thought?

bollocks

Hahaha! You people are showing him, aren't you? Have you ever heard: "any publicity is good publicity"? Watch his rating soar, and you all know there's no way he is going to be deported for being rude to a guest. Good move gun owners! He's laughing all the way to the bank!

Sure, it makes sense.... Someone living and working in the United States disagrees with half the country (maybe less).  The natural solution is to deport him. 

 

Naturally. 

 

I mean really, the only reason such a call wasn't made against Bob Costas, or Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim, or CNN's Don Lemon, or half a million other people who have spoken out for stricter gun control is because they were born here and, to be honest, you wouldn't know where to deport them to.

 

I suppose it's a better alternative than what COULD HAVE been a rallying cry, given the number of armed opponents out there...

I surely wish that we had the same national pride we had 50 years ago.  Guests in this country like Piers Morgan, feel they can say and do anything they want at the expense and emotions of the American people.  Yes, he should be deported along with other "guests" that feel the need to criticize how we live and what we do.  Its our country, not his or anyone elses.

I signed the petition earlier this afternoon around 12:30 and I was signature #45772

Just checked the total and it sits at 57,327 as of 8:30       Soooo  Piers put that in

your pipe and smoke it...... : }
