But gun rights advocates are holding their breath willing it NOT to happen. They’re upping and maintaining their situational awareness to PREVENT another atrocity. They’re tooled-up to STOP a spree killing (as best they can). CNN commentator Morgan and his gun grabbing sympathizers, on the other hand, are gleefully (sanctimoniously in this case) anticipating a horrific, bloody “gotcha” moment. Watch the end of this video. Could it be any clearer who owns the moral high ground?
It's not clear to me at all. In fact, not only did I fail to hear Piers Morgan "gleefully anticipating a horrific, bloody "gotcha" moment," I felt the smug and sarcastic pro-gun Senator ceded the moral high ground to Piers.
What's your opinion? Please leave a comment.
I'm not going to listen to five minutes of Piers Morgan running his mouth. Your side lives on crisis, while mine maintains a consistent position and approach.
ReplyDeleteEvolving technology has unfortunately provided the deranged an paranoid gun fetishists (future spree killers) with a pulpit to spew their derangement from an anonymous, yet effective pulpit, while they cowardly hide behind the screen clinging feverishly to deadly steel security blankets.
DeleteYou are not rational. You lack my knowledge of the real world, beyond the hallowed steps on which I bravely venture upwards, beyond the safety of my mother's basement, onto the mean streets of an unsuspecting world, a world that I shall bring into rein and thankful obedience to my riotous cause and sagely proclamations.
It is you, those who rely on the cowardly practice of arming oneself, who do not stand a chance in a real man's struggle.
I must encounter those like you on a daily basis, from the young punks who pack a switchblade into the theater, to the unhinged granny who packs a revolver, presumably to return fire to the cowboys on the big screen, to the redneck in the NRA hat who thought that he could get his garment of terrorism into one of America's finest Cinemas, guarded by me, armed only with a badge, pepper spray, and Ultraman underpants (undisputed by true experts and hailed as the greatest superhero ever), I protect society against the likes of you.
The Geat?
DeleteE.N., was that a typo on the newest puppet in your stable, or are you claiming to be a Viking?
I think he's pretending to be a character from Oz--Jade the Great and Terrible. Of course, from the same stories, there's an insect who's a classroom exhibit that the teacher magnifies and forgets to shrink. Because the creature has been in school, he's the Highly Magnified Woggle-Bug T(horoughly). E(ducated).
DeleteIf he meant to call himself a Geat, he'll learn soon enough that the gods don't take kindly to boasters who can't back up their claims.
Greg,
DeleteProps on that last paragraph--I love it!
Thanks, Tennessean. Beowulf is one of my favorites.
DeleteSame here, ever since my mom read it to us one summer while we were helping build a shed and picnic shelter in the back yard.
DeleteSeriously? Piers Moron wants pressure cooker control? That was his argument, more pressure cookers means more bombs. aye yi yi!

The belligerence and arrogance of Campfield is stunning. The other two comments here says an awful lot about the rampant stupidity of gun nuts. "Move back to England?" Amazing.
ReplyDeleteIn addition to being stunned, do you have anything useful to say? Though I didn't comment on Morgan moving back to his home country, the fact that he's a guest in this nation should make him be polite about our rights. He, of course, is free to remain a boorish, asinine idiot. That's the thing about freedom of expression. It protects even Morgan.
DeleteWhat about you being polite about other people's right to disagree with you?
DeleteI am, until people on your side expose themselves for the jerks they are.
DeleteFinally got up the nerve to stomach Piers vs. Stacy, and I found that he reminds me of some of the anti-gunners here: Stating that he doesn't want to confiscate guns, but then endorsing the Australia plan, which did just that.
ReplyDeleteGotta love the talking out of both sides of the mouth.
Didn't feel like watching the video before because Stacy isn't usually the best defender of anything, but going up against Morgan, he looked like a heavyweight.
Morgan's main points seemed to be that he wanted the plan from Oz, but refused to admit that amounted to confiscation, and that he was too stupid to understand Campfield's analogy.
The only time the facade of stupidity dropped was at the beginning when he asked "What can you do with a pressure cooker other than kill people? ... What can you do with a gun besides shoot things?" The fair comparison, in case it doesn't pop out to our gun grabber friends, is what can you do with a gun besides kill people.
Both are inanimate objects with legitimate, good uses, and with criminal uses. But then, this seems to be a hard thing for those in favor of gun control to grasp, hence the constant ignoring of hunting, target shooting, etc. etc. in the calculus of the pros and cons of guns.
It's just too bad that Stacy didn't grab that issue early on--he really could have thrashed Piers--not that Piers would have realized it.
I have no need to listen to Morgan as I have an adolescent at home.
ReplyDeleteI just watched the first minute, and already, Morgan has nauseated me, but let's see, with a gun, I can shoot food that I'll then prepare in a pressure cooker. To make you gun control freaks happy, I'll add that I'd make fava beans and buy a nice chianti to go with what I'm cooking.
