Transcript of Piers Morgan's
Final Rant on Television
Regular viewers will know that the issue of gun control has been a consistent and often very controversial part of this show. And I want to say something more about that before I bow out. I've lived and worked in America for much of the past decade. It's a magnificent country--a land of true opportunity that affords anyone, even British Chaunceys like me, the opportunity to live the American dream. The vast majority of Americans are very decent, hardworking, thoroughly dependable people. As my brother, a British army colonel, says, "You always want an American next to you in a trench when the going gets tough."
But that's where, I think, guns belong: on a military battlefield--in the hands of highly-trained men and women fighting for democracy and freedom--not in the hands of civilians. The scourge of gun violence is a disease that now infects every aspect of American life. Each day, on average, 35 people in this country are murdered with guns; another 50 kill themselves with guns; and 200 more are shot, but survive. That's 100,000 people a year hit by gunfire in America.
Now, I assumed that after 70 people were shot in a movie theater; and then, just a few months later, 20 first-graders were murdered with an assault rifle in an elementary school--that the absurd gun laws in this country would change, but nothing has happened. The gun lobby in America, lead by the NRA, has bullied this nation's politicians into cowardly, supine silence--even when 20 young children are blown away in their classrooms.
This is a shameful situation that, frankly, has made me very angry. So angry, in fact, that some people are criticizing me for being too loud, opinionated, even rude when I've debated the issue of guns. But I make no apologies for that. As Sir Winston Churchill said, "If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile drive, hit the point once, then come back and hit it again. Then, hit it a third time--a tremendous whack."
My point is simple: more guns doesn't mean less crime, as the NRA repeatedly tries to tell you. It means more gun violence, more death, and more profits for the gun manufacturers. And to those who claim my gun control campaigning has been anti-American--well, the reverse I true. I'm so pro-American, I want more of you to stay alive. But I've made my point. I've given it a tremendous whack.
Now, it's down to you. It is your country. These are your gun laws. And the senseless slaughter will only end when enough Americans stand together and cry, enough! I look forward to that day. I also look forward to seeing you all again soon. Thank you, and God bless America. Oh, and while I'm at it, God bless Great Britain, too. Good night.

It is a rare thing
indeed for a leftist, a progressive, a socialist, or whatever
label is now the proper way to categorize those who hate America
and the Constitution to advocate for protecting the
document. It has become quite evident that you
cannot be a leftist in today's world and be a Patriot - a
Constitution-loving American. This was
not always the case, but we can dispense with the notion that
there are any true Democrats that now consume
oxygen. You see, when JFK took that bullet,
the real Democrats were snarfed out too and replaced by
neo-communists, socialists, or progressive miscreants.
And so it is not
surprising that someone who has been rejected by his birth place
would seek to impose his rather uninformed opinion on true
Americans and those who actually understand quite clearly what
the Constitution says and what those of his ilk would bastardize
that document to say.
Leftist have
dispensed with holding dear things that are actually said to be
clearly rights of Americans and limitations on
Federalism. Leftists today invent rights never
once specified because it pleases them and their less than
intelligent voters.
Piers Morgan may
contemplate that guns should belong to the military, but the
Founding Fathers had no such notion - especially in the context
that it was the citizen who revolted over the tyranny of the
British Crown and that citizens with guns are compelled to take
on tyranny. So it is utterly laughable that the
military, controlled by the State, should be the last bastion of
holders of arms.
Piers also
clearly is not much of a scholar - American never was created to
be a Democracy - it is a Representative Republic - and as such,
we elect people to Represent us and mob rule is not the way this
country was founded or intended to be run. Democrats
love democracy because they commit fraud with their very name -
Democrats seek to impose the will of the minority on the masses
which is violative of Democracy even in the implementation!
When you consider
that there are more deaths on highways and drownings in this
country each year than through firearm incidents, we seem to
have a bleeding heart for the latter and ignorance of the
former. And even if there was cause to notice
gun violence and deaths, we have a Constitution that stands as
the great protectorate of our rights - and the NRA is a good
steward of that advocacy since Leftists are on the side of
ignorance and abolition of our second Amendment (and no one ever
says that the Democrats are bullies and extortionists when they
trot out dead children from Sandy Hook to use as props and
plenty of blubbering parents).
Now leftists do
have an avenue to amend this Constitution should those leftists
decide to grow a set and some brain matter - but these wimps and
stupid people seek to legislate away one of our sacred rights
because it is easier - but amending the Constitution is the way
it should and must be done - but that takes balls and some
actual work to convince a higher threshold of opinion and votes
to undertake.
We do know that
even disarming law-abiding citizens does not stop mass murder -
Europe and Japan are shining examples of mass knifings and even
mass shootings even when these countries have some of the most
strict laws on the planet. And China, a country that
loves no rights of man, has recently had a mass slash and hack
by our beloved friends - the mooslims.
Gun control only
removes guns from innocent people - criminals will always find
guns and in almost every mass shooting, we have "gun free
zones" where the carnage happened because the perpetrator
had a gun and the innocents couldn't. So much
for criminals respecting gun control!
Piers also
ignores that in almost every case of a mass shooting, we have a
complete nut job who was on medication or off it after having
been on it who managed to get a gun! How is it
that we cannot make society safer by keeping control and tabs on
our sickos so that they won't harm us or our
families? In some of these cases the wackos
obtained guns legally (background checks aren't psychic) and in
some instances the wackos stole (that means broke a law) to get
their guns.
