I've got it backed up if you want me to re-post it, so you can dodge it again champ?
Of course you'll no longer address me, people with limited intellect (such as yourself) will go out of their way to avoid a a REAL discussion, which is fine in itself, shows you know your limitations.
Such a shame then that you fear to reach beyond them. Bless

Good point, OP. Doughboy yet again proves how uneducated and paranoid tea baggers are. I'm amaze5b4d by how few of these love it or leave it types can spell or write a coherent sentence. My mother was on an FBI watch list for supporting McGovern back in the 70s; at school, I was kicked, spat upon and called commie pinko b*tch for wearing my McGovern button. Forty years on, how depressing to see some things never change. I don't recall the OP saying Doughboy should be on any FBI list.

Of course there's no law requiring you to do so, I merely asked you what's wrong with doing so. As far as I'm concerned, threatening foreigners with deportation if they dare to disagree with some Americans about how to interpret their own laws is a clear illustration of xenophobia.
What was the purpose of quotation marks? Do you degree that the opinions of foreign nationals are as diverse as our own?
You seem to have an issue with opinions that interpret the Second Amendment differently than you do.
I'm not sure while you're still here. Deporting foreigners for exercising their free speech rights is a violation of free speech. Contrary to your belief, enfranchisement and civil rights are not the same. Piers is not entitled to the former unless and until he acquires citizenship; but he is fully entitled to the latter upon his arrival on these shores.
Do you believe you should refrain from discussing politics in Western democracies when you're abroad? (Have you ever been abroad?) -

The biggest fool on this board is you. Piers Morgan is an uneducated blowhard who was run out of his country for fabricating evidence as a journalist.
But even uninformed fools like you and Pierced Organ have a right to your opinion not matter how irrational it is.
Anyone who actually listens to Piers Morgan and takes him seriously is lacking any critical thinking skills. He is emotional, hotheaded and spreads Hate speech like a child throwing a tantrum. The majority of people do not support his irrational views for "assault" weapon bans or increased gun control. -

The boy with the high school education has followed me to another board, has he?
Then he'll get roughly the same reply he got on the Jim Carrey board. You reveal your manichaean simplemindedness and intolerance when you cast the gun debate in terms of rationality and irrationality, knowledge and ignorance. And that dichotomizing mentality, as we know from recent tragic events in Boston, can be quite dangerous indeed.
The issue is not Piers Morgan's education or integrity, but whether he has as much right to express "wrong" opinions as any American.
I say that he does.
He is emotional, hotheaded and spreads Hate speech like a child throwing a tantrum.
As emotional and hotheaded as you appear to be? Quite possibly. But what "hate speech" are you referring to or don't you know? My guess is that you're merely parroting the Second Amendment Foundation's hyperbolic press statements. Calling another individual stupid is not a valid example of hate speech.
The majority of people do not support his irrational views for "assault" weapon bans or increased gun control.
That's immaterial to the point of t5b4his thread.
But since you brought it up, the majority of Americans 55 percent support an assault weapons ban, while 54 percent favor a prohibition on high-capacity clips. Support is even wider for other proposals, such as background checks for private and gun show sales (85 percent), a federal database to track gun sales (67 percent) and a ban on semi-automatic weapons (58 percent). -

The end of your post just show how clueless you are on the issue of Gun control, just like the man you are defending. "Assault" weapon is a meaningless term designed to make scary looking guns sound more dangerous then they actually are. These guns like the the AR-15 for example fire like any rifle or handgun and aren't any more dangerous.
In fact legislation was already put in place in 1994 (the Brady Bill) on assault weapons. Which has proven to be ineffective. Since 90% of gun homicides are committed with handguns increased regulations on the guns that cause 2% of homicides, makes no sense.
The thingy's you put in a gun to load it are not a clip, they are called a Magazine. Secondly almost all modern guns are semi-automatic, so a ban on these guns would just be a complete gun ban. You clearly have no idea what the term means. Semi-automatic guns fire one bullet each time you hold down the trigger and almost all modern handguns are semi-automatic. Most people do not support banning handguns, so nice try on those statistics.
You know so little about the basics of a gun but hey this doesn't have to stop you from having a strong opinion on the matter. I guess this shouldn't be surprising since this is exactly the way Piers Morgan does business. What you are doing is the equivalent of a movie critic reading a short synopsis on a movie and then giving a full review on it and and strongly disagreeing with crtitics who have actually seen the movie. -

Your entire post is a joke considering the fact that it takes issue with a DIRECT QUOTE from the esteemed and universally cited Pew Research Center, which did a poll on public attitudes toward various gun control proposals.
I figured you'd fall into the trap, which is why I deliberately withheld the source. Interesting that you didn't challenge the survey results, but opted to derail the thread yet again with another off topic rant.
You insisted that Piers Morgan is wildly out of step with American public opinion (an allegation that is irrelevant to the question of free speech, btw) and I proved you wrong.
And far from having a "strong opinion on the matter [of gun control]", a charge that is a figment of your imagination, unsupported by anything I've written here, I am quite bored by the subject of guns and gun legislation. What interests me is free speech and gun culture, not gun legislation.
Piers Morgan, like any other American or non-American, has the right to say what he wishes about gun control and ought to be able to do so without people with lynch mob mentalities vowing to run him out of town. -

Morgan is despised in the UK, that is a fact.
I have traveled to Europe twice, I found that not bad mouthing the country I was in or comparing it to the United States went a lot further with the locals, than the Americans who c238onstantly complained about how things weren't done like they are back home.
Morgan could learn from that.
