Piers Morgan Gun Control Rant

Looks like you skipped your history lessons,Paul. You are arguing to stick to a constitutional amendment. Looks to me that you constitution can be amended. In fact it was in 1934, Through the National Firearms Act of 1934. The gangster violence in general, and the Saint Valentine’s Day massacre in particular was responsible for this move. The US Brady act was sun settee through apathy. In 2008 the Supreme Court changed the gun control interpretation back. So maybe this stuff is not written in stone. It's the question of the intent of the minority lobby called the NRA, the National Rifle Association which was founded by a pair of Union soldiers in 1871, not as a political lobby but as an effort to promote the shooting of rifles. A goal of commerce over politics. So when you mourn your dead...maybe you can keep at least a clear historical perspective. Money has and will continue to drive any debate in the USA. It's all there in black and white.

I will agree that money flow is a driving force in politics. Sadly, you fail to understand what the NFA was not a measure to ban guns but to regulate gun sales. The Brady Act was signed in during Clinton to enforce a law that was already established. The 2nd Amendment is one of several fundamentally established promises the United States of America was built on and to remove it is to turn against the people. Go to another country if you disagree with what this country was established on!

Dont come to Oklahoma! Our State passed open carry. We also have concealed carry. We protect our own..... Its our way of life, bought and paid for by our fathers, sons , brothers, and yes even mothers and daughters . Freedom isnt free ask any European who lived in the WW2 erra. Japan didnt invade our soil for a reason. We were armed! We will always be armed . We are the largest military in the world , meaning armed civilians whithin our boarders. Do some research? Remember this is our country, our famillies , our cost and our pain . So your Aussie ass can stay home!

We don't want you to visit; end of story. Who do you call when there is a crime? The police? and why is that? Oh, it is because they are armed; if they were not and someone had a gun in the vicinity would you call them or someone who was armed? And while we are on the topic, aren't drugs illegal? Yet I still see them everywhere and I am able to obtain them; what is to stop a criminal from obtaining a gun illegally? This only prevents citizens who legally want to obtain their weapons and defend themselves. And before you say that the jerkoff in Newton, CT had those guns, he ILLEGALLY obtained them, i.e. killing and stealing from his mother. Another case and point, 2nd amendment referred to muskets. That may have been so, but a musket vs. a musket seems pretty even, therefore a semi-automatic weapon to counter another semi-auto seems reasonable (even back then, citizens were able to obtain cannons). I'm sorry they stopped making muskets and flint locked pistols, so this semi-automatic weapon will have to do (automatic weapons were banned in 1986 in the U.S.). And before you say we do not need these weapons, the framers of our constitution stated that it was to keep the government in check; do you think those rebels in Syria would need as much outside help if they were armed at all? Checkmate, no go wipe your face off.
