Piers Morgan vs. Gun Owners of America 12/18 -- PRICELESS

I have never heard this kind of language on broadcast news. Morgan called the head of GOA an idiot, stupid, a liar, and more. His guest called him a prick and a pastoral Brit.

And that was the mild part of the interview!

Morgan really clobbered the guy with his own words, and maneuvered him into revealing the ugly, ugly side of the gun culture.

Maybe you can catch the re-run.

Remember that the police in Britain do not even carry guns.

There's plenty not to like about Piers but this shows a side of him to like.

to be killed. WTF???

That's the only other option he can think of? I can think of another one and it involves banning assault weapons and tighter gun control and permit requirements.

What a disgrace of a human being.

priceless.

Some pro-gun jerk tweeted to him that his being pro-gun-control meant that he was for rape victims being defenseless. Piers retorted that the person won "most moronic statement of the day"
