(690 posts)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.

(1,648 posts)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

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.

In 1994, Pratt unsuccessfully ran for a seat in the Nevada State Assembly as a Libertarian, winning 27% of the vote.[6]
