Now I am no fan of Piers Morgan, I think he is a phone tapping capital idiot, and for the most part I pay no heed to him or his spoutings.
That said, I was mildly interested in his standoff with the American pro-gun lobby after the Sandy Hook school shootings, which is why I read the piece in the Mirror Online about his ongoing crusade in America on tighter gun control laws. I am not sure who is advising him on this, but I question the wisdom of going to someone else’s country and tub-thumping on an issue he is not really involved with.
In general the piece is typical self aggrandising Pierce, I think he wrote it himself, but what did catch my eye is the comments left by the readers, particularly the Americans. There is some seriously crazy shit in there. I have cut and pasted some below, and here is the link to the site, there is plenty more where these came from...

“Piers, you are a perfect example of why we declared independence from your mother country. We understand natural law and our rights as human beings. You, on the other hand are a perfect example of a peasant, living your life according to the sovereign's dictates. I am a Sovereign, a creature of God, responsible for my actions and accountable to Him. You bow down to another creature of God, your queen. How pathetic. Americans do not accept your subservient attitude and demeanor. In fact, it is the antithesis of who we are. We understand that our lives are a gift from God and that we are bound to protect them from all aggressors, personal or governmental. We are endowed by our creator with the ability and requirement to protect ourselves from snakes like you and any tyrants that would do us harm. Your stupid words and actions have awakened the sleeping proletariat, as you would call us. Beware!”
.....
“Piers reminds us that some will always favor subjugation to some form of authority, content to trade freedom for the spectre of safety. Thankfully, and historically, real Americans don't respond too well to Brits who determine how free we should be. While Piers makes money stirring the hornet's nest, rest assured, he does so with the benefit of his own armed security detail, and with the support of hypocritical hollywood supporters who use guns in their films to make millions. What offends Piers and the Left in general, is the audacity of normal folk to defend themselves. Unlike in the U.K. where those who endure violent crime at twice the rate of the U.S., we demand the right to fight back, not to endure rape, assault and risk being killed in the service of a Queen, while we wait bleeding for the police to arrive.”
.....
“England where 9 years old English kids hang themselves from being bullied by their new master Arab colonialists.”
.....
“The violent crime rate in the UK is eight times higher than in the US. In 2011, there were 1.9 million violent crimes in the UK, compared to 1.2 million in the US, and the population of the US is five times higher. Violence is out of control in the UK, not in the US. The US is a much safer place - because we are armed.”
.....
“We don't care what he thinks.....he (nor any other Liberal) will disarm the largest Army on earth ....The American Gun Owner. we have a GOD given right to self protection and we have the right to the necessary tools to implement that protection. (including high capacity Magazines and semi -automatic weapons) If you live in the middle of the country and there are hordes of armed motorcycle gangs invading your home.....how will a double barreled shotgun make any difference against a dozen armed thugs?(when the police are an hour away?) Piers and other sanctimonious Liberals have the arrogance to attempt to tell free people what they "need' or "deserve". A very dangerous position to try to enforce.”
.....
“A perfect example of what british males have devolved into.....a goodly portion to be sure. Not the hardy sort that carried on in spite of the nazis, the blitz and the bombings and so on. Rather a spineless, supine, prostrate jellyfish whose only weapon is a piehole oozing self righteous piety and insults. Yeah. Go back to your shrinking empire before somebody really does slap your punk backside down. (sorry, ladies...I forget how easily you're offended...)”
