'You're An Unbelievably Stupid Man, Aren't You

[peyton]

I got to watch this interview between the Piers Morgan, CNN and Larry Pratt, Gun Owners of America and all I got to say is WOW!! The CNN person is British and what absurd things he said. Mr. Pratt was polite and very informative.

Piers Morgan To Gun Advocate Larry Pratt: 'You're An Unbelievably Stupid Man, Aren't You?' (VIDEO)

 

[Onomea]

The NYT ran an editorial earlier this week stating that the US is unique among wealthy countries for the prevalence of guns and consequent high murder rate. It also argued that places like England and Australia, with their stricter gun controls, have successfully reduced their murder rates.

This article is a rebuttal, pointing out, for example, that Russia has 1/10th our rate of gun ownership but four times our murder rate, and that while homicides by firearms are down in England and Australia, the murder rate itself is unaffected by stricter gun control. It is a good read:

Funny, ol' Pears was quite a bit more polite to Ted Nugent.
Methinx mr. Morgan suspected that calling Nuge "unbelievably stupid" to his face could've possibly caused the disagreement to go from mental to dental.

Did a good job

Howdy,
I think Mr. Pratt did a very good job.
Thanks for the clip.

I hope someone will instruct Mr. Morgan in the history of how military style and hunting arms took care of King George and his countrymen before we celebrate Patriots Day April 19.Lexington Green and Concord Bridge were not gun free in spite of his efforts.Things didn't work out so good for him then.

Piers Morgan will be doing well not to be kicked out of the country and tried in Britain for the Murdoch / News of the World / phone hacker scandal. He and Rebekah Brooks were center in the controversy that could well land him in the docks and from there into prison.

He is no doubt doing his level best to curry favor in high places to prevent himself from being extradited.

So who's the "stupid man" now you limey bugger?

 

[peyton]

Sorry I can not resist this, I saw it on another forum and thought it is correct!!

 

[perrazi]

if morgan gets extradited, i want his bentley.

We should melt it down, cast a bust of Ron Reagan and park it in front of the UN.

Someone should ask Pears about England's law against air pistols. You will go to jail big-time if you are going from your house to the airgun range without your airgun locked in whatever required case and unloaded.

About 30 years ago I read an article about the low death rate among England's knife fighters compared to knife fighters in some similar country. Studies revealed that England's knife fighter's were slashers and the other countries knife fighters were stabbers.
It has not changed much?

I could not believe that CNN took on Piers Morgan. He had way overstayed his welcome in the British media before I ever came to the US. My late wife asked me who he was after he came over and I told her that he was living proof that brain donors can still talk. If he goes away in the Murdoch thing I'll laugh like a drain.

Piers Morgan: 300,000,000 Guns in USA

If there are so many guns in America and guns are evil, why don't we have 300 million murders? Why isn't anyone putting the stats for guns that save lives on the web?

I just saw the clip, and was inspired by Mr. Pratt's even performance in the face of such monumental stupidity to join GOA. At $20 it seems like a bargain!

After watching Morgan stumble through interview after interview, I have concluded that he is incompetent and I will not waste my time watching this guy. I did however make an exception and watched the interview with Bob Costas which was on last week.

Both men embarrassed themselves with their lack of knowledge, however, I believe Costas spoke from his heart but lacks any education of firearms and the rights of ownership.

You said a mouthful there my friend !!
Sure miss ole' Ronnie Reagan right now.
IMHO the last Great President this country had.
Certainly the best since i been living.

Another well written article

England Murder Rates vs USA
(8 paragraphs down)
In 1954, there were only a dozen armed robberies in London but, by the 1990s, there were more than a hundred times as many. In England, as in the United States, drastic crackdowns on gun ownership by law-abiding citizens were accompanied by ever greater leniency to criminals. In both countries, this turned out to be a formula for disaster.

By making those comments Mr. Morgan lost the argument and made a fool of himself. Apparently Mr. Morgan was never taught the first rule of intelligent argument, "It's OK to attack the argument, but it is not Ok to attack the person presenting the argument."

Mr. Page on the other hand conducted himself as a gentleman.

Piers Morgan is one more reason why I don't watch CNN.
