A petition to deport CNN host Piers Morgan over his heated comments on gun
control has reached more than 62,000 signatures in just 4 days, far
exceeding the threshold required for a White House response. A petition must
get 25,000 signatures in 30 days in order to elicit a response.
In the wake of the elementary school shooting in Connecticut that left 27
dead, Morgan has become a vocal advocate for tighter gun regulations.
Specifically, he is calling for a ban on high-capacity magazines and assault
weapons, as well as strict background checks on gun sales. According to the
petition, Morgan’s comments are no less than “a hostile attack against
the U.S. Constitution”:
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.
Of course, Morgan is protected by another constitutional amendment: the
First. The CNN host has continued to exercise his rights by openly mocking
the petition on Twitter.
Democratic lawmakers have promised to address gun safety immediately upon
the start of the 113th Congress in January. Meanwhile, the National Rifle
Association refused to cede any ground after the Newtown tragedy, calling
for armed guards in every school and stricter scrutiny on the video game
industry and opposing any measure limiting gun access. | D**S

Just one more piece of evidence how narrow-minded some Americans can be. |
