‘You Are a Dangerous Man…and You Shame Your Country’: CNN Anchor Lashes Out at Gun Lobby Director

Dec. 19, 2012 11:56am Madeleine Morgenstern

CNN’s Piers Morgan on Tuesday went head-to-head with the executive director of a pro-gun organization, at one point calling him a “dangerous man” who brings “shame” to his country in the wake of the Newtown massacre.

Larry Pratt, head of Gun Owners of America, started off his appearance on “Piers Morgan Tonight” by saying America needs to “ban gun control laws that keep people from being able to protect themselves.”

“The problem is not going to go away if we ban this or that gun,” Pratt said. “We’ve tried that, that doesn’t work. Doesn’t even work in England. You have mass murders there all over Europe, there have been mass murderers.”

Morgan said Pratt was talking “complete and utter nonsense” and said the gun murder rates in Britain, Germany or Australia are far lower than that in the U.S. — “75 against 12,000 in Australia.”

Pratt conceded that the gun murder rate in those countries is indeed lower than the U.S., but that the violent crime rate is higher.

“America is not the Wild West that you are depicting. We only have the problems in our cities, and unhappily, in our schools where people like you have been able to get laws put on the books that keep people from being able to defend themselves,” he said. “I honestly don’t understand why you would rather have people be victims of a crime than be able to defend themselves. It’s incomprehensible.”

“You’re an unbelievably stupid man, aren’t you?” Morgan asked.

Pratt shot back that Morgan was being “morally obtuse,” adding: “You seem to prefer being a victim to being able to prevail over the criminal element. And I don’t know why you want to be the criminal’s friend.”

“What a ridiculous argument. You have absolutely no coherent argument whatsoever,” Morgan said. “You don’t give a damn, do you, about the gun murder rate in America? You don’t actually care. All you care about — ”

Pratt cut in that Morgan was ignoring the facts.

“What we do know is that when you go to an area of the United States where guns are freely available, readily able to be carried legally, there you find our lowest murder rates, lower than the murder rates in Europe. You go to our cities where we have cracked down on guns, and that’s where criminals have a field day,” he said.

Morgan later said he wasn’t arguing about Americans’ rights to defend themselves in the home, but that there is “no use and no justification for these AR-15-type assault weapons.”

“There are these assault weapons which have been used now in movie theaters, in shopping malls, in elementary schools to murder many, many Americans,” he said. “Your only answer, Mr. Pratt, to people that want to get rid of both the magazines and these assault weapons, if I’m not mistaken is to let everybody else have similar weapons. Is that the solution to America’s gun murder problem?

Pratt said Morgan was “talking against self-defense” and “against people being able to protect themselves.”

“Post what happened at Sandy Hook,” Morgan said. “Your answer to this problem of repeated use of this weapon with these high-capacity magazines is to continue letting Americans buy them with impunity, and to not concern yourself with these mass shootings, is that right?”

“The Second Amendment means what it says, and meanwhile, you want to continue laws against self-defense,” Pratt said. “Laws that prohibit self-defense. Laws that prohibit teachers and other faculty, other members of the administration in schools from being able to defend themselves if they have a concealed carry permit. The laws prohibit them right now. We have been lobbying against those laws since they were put on. We will continue to do so, pointing out that that is where the problem is. And for you to support them means that you’re really blind to the role that that plays in enabling murders to operate with impunity.”

Morgan responded that he knows “why sales of these weapons have been soaring in the last few days — it’s down to idiots like you.”

After Morgan thanked Pratt for coming on the show and prepared to go to commercial, Pratt thanked him for the “high-level argument…it’s really good.”

“You know what, you wouldn’t understand the meaning of the phrase high-level argument. You are a dangerous man espousing dangerous nonsense and you shame your country,” Morgan said.

CNN posted the entire segment on its website, minus the last few moments with Morgan’s “shame your country” remark. NewsBusters published an edited version that includes the final moments (scroll):

Piers Morgan and other communist minded moronic liberals like him are the “Dangerous People” to the safety and security of this nation. Somehow they choose to overlook historical data that proves when the right of citizens to keep and bear arms is taken away, tyrany, oppression and dictatorships normally follow close behind. People who want an unarmed society are the dangerous ones and possess a shameful mindset towards their country and fellow American citizens in wake of the latest shooting incident at Newtown, CT. It’s plain to see that if the teachers had been allowed their 2nd amendment rights to carry, there may have been far less deaths than there was. You communist, constitution hating liberals are, indirectly, as much to blame as the shooter for the deaths of these children. Gun control does not work, it never has and it never will…. blame the shooter, blame the guns, blame the NRA, blame the responsible and innocent gun owners if you wish… but facts bear it out and prove your liberal thinking and policies are pure stupidity in action and you’re getting people killed….

Facts and common sense all prove that the more gun control, the more violent crime.

The anti-gun people are the enablers of these tragedies. Why are they being allowed to take the high ground in the media?

Please Mr. Morgan, Go home to your own country and mind your own business. We can handle our problems without you and yours. The muder rate in the USA is high due to the failure of our justice system and the (we feel so sorry for all the murders, rapist, and thieves) Libirals. We do not need new laws, we need enforcement of the laws in place. It is a shame that our government is to busy wasting time on making themselves feel good and rich. No where else on earth do law abiding citizens have the right to protect themselves. We have that right and we will keep that right. You are a FOOL!!

Very strange, to say the least. These left wingers are using the First Amendment to abuse the Second Amendment. What other rights and freedoms do they plan on destroying. Pass all the meaningless laws you like. It won’t help. I love my country and realize there are some who are totally unable to understand love of country and freedom, fought and died for. Stand strong and God bless the USA.

Are some of you sheeple willing to lose a little more of your freedoms because of something a nut-job did 2 blocks, 2 miles, or 3,000 miles from where you live? Really? How were/are you implicated in the crime? Ah, you’re NOT implicated…then why allow yourself to be punished? I can see murder being a crime – if you murder someone you should be punished for it. But then why would you want to lose your 2nd Amend rights, or why would you wish the same upon your neighbor, or the stranger 3000 miles away? Does OWNING firearm implicate you in a crime, in anyway?
What if that train of thought were applied to say, something you DON’T have a constitutional “right” to, like owning a car? As many times as cars have been used to murder, or accessories after the fact, you would think that politicians would have us driving around on mopeds without trunks/cabooses, because of the “safety” issue – YOU’VE never murdered or killed someone with your car, either purposefully nor accidentally, but countless others have…where’s the car-control lobby? SOME folks need their cars for transportation but, we ALL need our right to self-defense as written in stone by our founders, for self-preservation.

I WILL NOT allow myself to be persecuted by gobblement for a crime I had nothing to do with, nor will I comply with “rules”, “regulations”, nor edicts from a communist wannabe=dictator nor his quasi-balled, pseudo-intelligent hand-puppet…

I would not be surprised if Piers Morgan is incredulous by the fact that a bunch of rag-tag colonists soundly beat the greatest empire in the world. Not just once, but twice. British troops sent to Lexington-Concord were on a gun control raid, and were mauled by commoners and hounded all the way back to Boston.

That must be a maddening itch that he can never scratch. All he can do is to try vainly to shame us.

Sorry, Piers, we still have our bow fingers. Or should I say, trigger fingers?

The most dangerous men and wemen in America are the ones that are deluded enough to think that the Government can protect you from criminals with or without violent intent. The reality is that the Government was and is the criminal in may cases. The police by and large do a great job of showing up after the violent act and eventually catching the perp if he hasn’t already off himself. The only person that has a chance of protecting your life or the lives of your love ones is you. There are no guarantees but armed prey is better then unarmed prey. Make no mistake about evil people are by definition predators. Predators always win when the prey is to helpless to save its’ own life.

People like you were the reason we put the 2nd Amendment in our Constitution after we kicked your redcoat butts back onto your warships and sent you packing. You came back in 1812 and tried to assert your authority over us again and we kicked your redcoat butts back onto your warships again. Don’t come back unjtil you can live by our laws and stop trying to make ours match your failed country’s.

What a snide little panty waisted wuss. Wonder how many armed body guards he has walking around with him everyday so he can feel so superior to those of us who have to handle self defense duties ourselves. And I’ll ask this question again…if these guns are so bad, why did obama and holder give them to Mexican drug lords?

To prevent violence of an airplane we make people take off their shoes, belts, remove all metal objects, have bags searched, subject to search after we pass security, armed guards in every terminal, armed pilots and air marshals.

To prevent violence in schools we put up signs, ban anyone with a gun from campus, and have anti bullying classes.

Seems to me we should have schools look more like airports if you genuinely want to keep kids safe. But it really is not about safety now is it. We can pay a janitor 70k a year but God forbid we hire an off duty cop who carries a gun because it would harm children to see a gun….they cannot even draw a gun without getting suspended…so an actual gun at school…even on the hip of a police officer…will never happen. The first time these Connecticut kids saw a gun at school was right before they were shot with it. NONE of the bilge coming from the left is about keeping kids safe…it is about disarming Americans who obey the law, thus giving criminals access to more gun free zones.

If Democrats gave a flip about children they would stop murdering them before they were born.

After the fall of France and the Dunkirk evacuation in 1940, Britain found itself short of arms for island defense. The Home Guard was forced to drill with canes, umbrellas, spears, pikes, and clubs. When citizens could find a gun, it was generally a sporting shotgun Ð ill suited for military use because of its short range and bulky ammunition.

Prime Minister Winston Churchill inspecting a No. 4 Enfield which the British adopted after Dunkirk, because the rifle could be mass produced.

British government advertisements in American newspapers and in magazines such as The American Rifleman begged Americans to “Send A Gun to Defend a British HomeÐBritish civilians, faced with threat of invasion. desperately need arms for the defense of their homes.” The ads pleaded for “Pistols, Rifles, Revolvers, Shotguns and Binoculars from American civilians who wish to answer the call and aid in defense of British homes.”

Pro-Allied organizations in the United States collected weapons; the National Rifle Association shipped 7,000 guns to Britain. Britain also purchased surplus World War I Enfield rifles from America’s Department of War.

Many posters are still availabe from collectors. Another example of Americans saving someones’ butt only to find it stuck back into our faces. Our good friends. Many like this jerk and I wish we would have known then what we know now and maybe we could have saved a lot of American lives.

  Whater39, you must be one of the low information voters. Did you know that only 4% of the murders caused by firearms are from rifles, much less “assault rifles”? Do you know that 85% are from handguns? Of course you don’t. The argument is so asinine!

  So let me get this right. You are saying that all of us that enjoy owning guns and shooting them for sport, hunting with them, and defending ourselves with them are all part of a culture that kills 12000 people a year in the U.S. First you are an idiot. second there would have to be 329 gun murders a day in the U.S. to add up to 12000 yearly gun related murders. I said earlier you are an idiot which is true but you are also a fool.

  Whater, I don’t have an AR because I’m afraid of the government, I have one because I’ve watched what happens when the government loses control. When there is no cavalry (police, national guard, whatever) then you better have the firepower to give yourself an edge over all the masses out there. You think it isn’t possible? Just look at the riots in Europe, or Hurricane Katrina, the government can’t protect you nearly as well as the claim to.

  All I need to know about the RIGHT TO BARE ARMS: The Founders were FOR – Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Obama are AGAINST!
  
  There is an agenda here . Gun control is just one of their weapons. The cadre of intellectuals that have trained Gramsci shock troops of teachers and media hacks to take this which was a Judeo/Chrsitan culture down from within…Fabians (founded in London whose logo is wolf in sheeps clothing), Frankfurt School, Antonio Gramsci, Mattechine Society, Committee’s of Correspondence, this is all out war against the America of our Founders who knew that only a moral people could handle freedom – freedom without morality destroys…

  I remember watching Katrina footage live on TV like it was yesterday. Throngs of armed
  gangs roaming the streets looting and pillaging. ARMED resident homeowners standing guard
  outside their homes to protect their property and their families.
  
  Then the authorities came around going door to door attempting to confiscate privately
  owned firearms from these citizens who were defending themselves —- meanwhile the
  armed gangs were still on the rampage —- no one was trying to take their weapons. These
  same “authorities” were P****** who wouldnt confront the lawbreakers.
  
  Nothing ever changes with the numbnuts in charge. The answer now should be the same
  as the answer then —– Go F yourself.

He needs to tell the 12 year old girl from Durant, Ok in Oct of this year. Some guy kept ringing the doorbell and knocking. He went away and the girl while home on fall break called her mother. Her mother told the girl to get her .40 glock and hide in the bathroom closet. He came back and 6 minuets later while on the phone to 911 he broke in and tried the door. He was arrested outside with a stomach wound.

  Wonderful piece of history and thank you Old Duffer. Piers Morgan is an arrogant *****. My Dad was a WWII combat veteran who fought Hitler and saved European arse. He had a 22 hunting rifle and handgun. we knew where he kept it and where the bullets were. We never touched it. He told us he would give us the belt or a spanking if we did so. WE feared our Dad. He would follow through on punishing you. This is what is missing. Kids act up. Then they have no consequences. They get their dinner and dessert. They get put in a two minute “time out” corner and then they get their candy and video games and popcorn. There are no consequences so they don’t learn anything. If we acted up we went to our rooms without dinner. There were real consequences back then. Maybe if parents were stricter with their kids and when they said, “NO” they meant it we would have a more lawful society and we wouldn’t need to be having this discussion. Some AFrican American stand up comedian said, “white people you need to beat your kids” and I laughed cause I understood what he was saying. Soft on discipline equals chaos and crime.

  States with Concealed Carry provisions, liberal gun ownership and possession laws as well as castle doctrine laws do have lower instances of violent crime. Where the left gets their stats is that they include, as does the AMA, suicides in with their “crime” stats because suicide is a crime.
  Don’t believe it, look it up. Pretty well known stat, but the masses are too lazy to look things up.
  
  Every pro-2nd Amendment person has to stop framing the argument with logic. The liberal left, the secular-progressive anti-gun nuts, the RINOs that just want to get along all need an emotional argument to put their brains in check.
  The 2nd Amendment is just as important as the 1st Amendment and here is why:
  If the right to own a firearm can be limited, so then can the right to freedom of speech.
  
  Well NO they would say. (no, this isn’t the “fire” in a theater argument)
  
  If Hitler were here today, in the United States, how many would fight for his right to speak his mind, to splatter his verbal (poop) all over our airwaves and print media? Just words. Just words.
  
  It is EASY to defend rights when you agree with the free-display there-of. But how many Conservatives would fight for the right to put a crucifix in a jar of pi$$? Regunant? Yes. But free speech? Yes.
  
  The left is run by emotion, use logic to illicit a different response and then see what happens.

  @ Water % RaptureComes…
  Rapture, I’ve been asking that question as well. Someone asked if I was surprised by Sandyhook and I told them not at all: In a country that kills two million babies a year should hardly be surprised when its populace takes life so cheaply.
  Then they get into the argument ‘it’s legal’… and I go off. Fools like Water, et al, should just drink some Nightshade tea and do the world a favor.
