TV he is from UK and knows nothing about the US. In UK you cannot hit someone robing your house, they will arrest you for defending yourself.

Prat fall that I didn't see as amusing or funny, in fact Mr. Prat's fall was scary, stupid and obviously why we have such a huge gun violence problem. Pier was right on and of course he "deserves" to be on TV in the USA.

most of the deaths from gun violence are a result of the drug gang wars? But yet, you will never hear any of the anti gun people call for the end of the war on drugs.

Doesn't that make you wonder what they are really after? And Morgan did an awful job in the debate. For one, you cannot compare total numbers between the 2 countries because of size and since there are less gun in the UK and more in the US it makes perfect sense that gun homicide rate in the US will be higher. He should have compared the homicide rate between the 2 countries period if he wanted to be fair.

But then again that wasn't on his agenda

During an interview on NPR about arming staff in schools Jonathan Lowy, director of the Legal Action Project at the Brady Center to
Prevent Gun Violence, pointed to the Brady Center's namesake, James Brady. Brady was standing in one of the most protected places
on the planet when he was shot in the head and nearly killed: next to President Ronald Reagan, both of them surrounded by the
U.S. Secret Service - the best security money can't buy.

The president is about the most wanted to assassinate person there is in the world. That is the reason why he has all those securities, now that someone actually goes ahead and give it a try everyone in a while means that the SS as a deterrent mechanism works.

In October 1992, at Estes Park, Colorado, Pratt addressed a three-day meeting of neo-Nazis and Christian Identity adherents organized by Pete Peters in the wake of the Ruby Ridge incident.[3][4][5] Pratt shared the stage with Richard Butler and Louis Beam. In 1994, Pratt unsuccessfully ran for a seat in the Nevada State Assembly as a Libertarian, winning 27% of the vote.[6]

The guy is a big- time racist and right wing wacko. He had to resign as co-chair of Pat Buchanan's presidential campaign after he was linked to white supremacist groups and militias. Wow. You have to be a pretty sick human being to kicked to the curb by Pat Buchanan.
