Wis. Sheriff Who Encouraged Residents to Arm Themselves Takes On Anti-Gun Piers Morgan

Wis. Sheriff Who Encouraged Residents to Arm Themselves Clashes With Piers Morgan

(CNN)

Milwaukee sheriff David Clarke, Jr. made headlines earlier this week by urging residents to become responsible gun owners so they can defend themselves during situations when first responders are unable to get there in time. On Tuesday night, the sheriff joined Piers Morgan on CNN where he was berated and criticized for making such “irresponsible” statements.

Morgan accused Clarke of using a “Hollywood voice” and dramatizing the serious debate surrounding gun control, to which Clarke replied, “this is my voice.” The sheriff explained that his department has limited resources and it is unrealistic to expect police to be able to respond in time to each and every emergency.

Morgan then attempted to discredit firearms as an effective means of self-protection, asking how many people actually defended themselves or their families by firing a gun in Milwaukee. Clarke said he did not have a figure off the top of his head.

“You haven’t got a clue, have you?” Morgan said in a condescending tone.

“You want to arm everybody in Milwaukee. You do these racy Hollywood-style adverts, you want them all out there, armed and shooting,” Morgan continued. “What you’re creating is a return to the Wild West in Milwaukee. So I think it’s actually relevant that you don’t have any idea how many people actually need a firearm at home to defend themselves.”

Morgan hardly let Clarke get a word in the debate as he repeatedly interrupted and berated his guest. Finally, Clarke asked, “Are we going to have an honest exchange here or are you just going to talk over me?”

The sheriff explained that a citizen’s decision to own a firearm is an “individual responsibility” and it’s not up to him to decide who should or should not own a gun.

“No, no, no. I’m not going to let you get away with that,” Morgan interrupted yet again. He then repeatedly spoke over Clarke.

“I said you can hide under the bed,” Clarke said. “Those are choices the individual has to make, not law enforcement.”

Morgan’s counterargument? He said it is no longer a “personal choice” when a sheriff encourages people to become gun owners. He did not clarify exactly what he meant by that. Using that line of reasoning, every single Milwaukee resident would have bought a gun just because the sheriff encouraged it, apparently unable to make the decision on their own.

    “Milwaukee sheriff David Clarke, Jr. made headlines earlier this week by urging residents to become responsible gun owners so they can defend themselves during situations when first responders are unable to get there in time”…………………………………………………..

    Why do I see NOTHING wrong with, illogical or irrational about the Sheriff’s “suggestion” to residents to learn how to protect themselves with a fire arm? Fire arms are LEGAL you know? Because there is nothing wrong with it. It’s makes perfectly logical, rational sense. Only a gun grabbing liberal socialist communist could possibly have an argument against that. You gun grabbing socialist need to think about this…… are you willing to rip this country apart and are you prepared die to try and take away the guns from the MAJORITY of the LEGAL gun owning American public? I don’t threaten anyone, don’t need to….. but there are those American patriot citizens out there, who highly value the US Constitution, unlike liberal democrat traitors, who will blow your face off if you continue down this road. You are provoking a bloody conflict from loyal Americans who are otherwise only law abiding citizens exercising their constitutional rights which YOU, nor the government, have any legal or moral right to tamper with.

      The only thing wrong with the above statement is: we are the first responders – police are 2nd responders – that is why we need to be prepared with knowledge about how to use a gun, ability to handle the gun and a gun. Sheriff David Clarke, Jr. Thank You!

      That mayor is an azzwipe.

      Now lets look at Chicago the most dangerous city in America with the stiffest gun laws of all & home of some gun grabbing dumb fk politicians who wrote those laws and are currently trying to disarm the rest of us.

      Perhaps the U.S. should pull out of Chicago?
      Body count: In the last six months 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago.

      221 killed in Iraq AND Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws in the entire US.

      President: Barack Hussein Obama
      Senator: Dick Durbin
      House Representative: Jesse Jackson Jr.
      Governor: Pat Quinn
      House leader: Mike Madigan
      Atty. Gen.: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike)
      Mayor: Rahm Emanuel
      The leadership in Illinois – all Democrats.

      Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago .
      Of course, they’re all blaming each other.
      Can’t blame Republicans; there aren’t any!

      Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country. Can’t blame Republicans; there aren’t any!

      State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country. Can’t blame Republicans; there aren’t any!

      Cook County ( Chicago ) sales tax 10.25% highest in country. Can’t blame Republicans; there aren’t any!

      This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois. And he is going to ‘fix’ Washington politics for us???

      Of course he was replaced by Rob Blajegovitch who is…that’s right, also in the big house.
      And Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned a couple of weeks ago. That is because he is fighting being sent to…that’s right, the big house.

      The Land of Lincoln, where our governors make our license plates.

      But you know what?

      ……and yet another bait, and switch title

      “” Wis. Sheriff Who Encouraged Residents to Arm Themselves Takes On Anti-Gun Piers Morgan “”

      Proper title would be “This is another video of p.m. pushing his agenda, and not letting his guest speak.”
      or…….
      “Once again p.m. demeans, insults, rants, and name calls at his guest”

      or……

      “p.m. brings on a popular guest trying to boost his sorry ratings, and as usual treats his guest like schit.”

      I mean there must be at least another 1,000 titles more appropriate than imprinting the idea that the good guy “Took On” the bad guy.

      What a joke……..sorry for the rant, but the sensationalizing tactics to get people to read an article is getting pretty old.

      Here’s a thought.

      If it turns out that a person has to get a background check (or if you live in a state that already does), that person shall be denied a firearm if evidence shows that person has ever been a registered democrat, or has ever participated in liberal, left wing, progressive political lobbying, that person shall be denied a firearm. After all, that is what ‘they’ want, and it is about time ‘they’ put their ‘money where their mouth is’, and live it the way ‘they’ want the rest of us to live it. These political idiots are on record saying, “It is suppressing the right to vote, for a person to prove who they are before voting, with a picture ID.” What do they call it when a person has to fill out a two (2) page Form 4473, show a picture ID, and answer all the questions on that form “correctly” OR that person is DENIED their RIGHT to the 2nd Amendment and cannot bear arms.

      That is a whole lot more than suppression!

      The 2nd Amendment was so important to our founding fathers for so many reasons, it can’t be taken on with an idiot like “Prince Morgan” in the 3 minutes he has a slot open for you on his show, it is an agenda. I think everyone should decline his invitation, people would stop tuning in and maybe CNN would drop him.

      The 2nd Amendment is an Amendment that does not share. What is meant by that is the 1st Amendment has religion, speech, press, assembly, and redress. The 2nd says exactly what it means, period!

      @ RDavis

      You are right. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Moreover, it is just plain common sense.

      The sheriff seems to me to be a clear-thinking and forthright person, and those in his juridiction are doubtless pleased to have him in that position.

      It has been noted that when politicians cut police budgets, the police sometimes respond by making cuts in frontline officers and then point the finger of blame at the politicians in order to apply pressure. I do not know if that is the case here.

      Mr Morgan is unloved in his own country and one can see why. He denigrates and mocks decent men and women who are among those who have welcomed him to their country. His arguements are sometimes specious and facile, and at other times just plain false – as he must be aware.

      In the UK he was caught red-handed engaging in journalistic dishonesty of the worst sort. And as an editor, no less. If I were British, I would be cringing with embarrassment.

      He is self-serving, rude, contemptuous, and utterly lacking in integrity.

      The sheriff is only stating the facts. Law enforcement will not be there if you are confronted by a intruder. Mostly what law enforcement intent is a deterrent to crime. But unfortunately mostly what the local law does is record the crimes that happen for historical and insurance purpose. And of course as a means to collect revenue for the government.

      I really don’t see what the uproar is all about. “You should be prepared to defend yourself”, what a novel concept. I think what upsets people like the radical left wing limey liberal is that the Sheriff actually told the public the truth, that being that the police cannot guarantee your safety, and everyone needs to be prepared to defend their own homes. This goes directly against liberal philosophy that the government can take care of all of your problems. Therefore he results to the old standby of name calling, not allowing you to express your views, and spouting meaningless slogans. Please send this moron back to England.

      It has been a while since I have commented on any postings because of my disappointments in what this country is seemingly turning into. I WAS WRONG in that attitude like a few others who have commented here. I realized that that is exactly what all this liberal propaganda wants and is working for so we will shut up, get angry, and say nothing.

      The absolute insanity within not only this event, but the majority of the media coverage concerning just this one basic right cannot and must not silence the majority of America. P.M. is not an American as we all know, nor is his agenda for strengthening Americans.

      The police can’t protect the citizens unless you have a police station on every block in America.
      The police are there to bring criminals to justice AFTER THE FACT. Armed law abiding citizens limit the need for police and prisons.
      It’s alot easier to for a lawful citizen to tell police why their attackers has two holes in the chest than for the police to tell that lawful citizens family that their loved ones murderer has been arrested.

      Maybe the sheriff should have used the leftist race card strategy. Piers Morgan and the Mayor are white. I’m sure the sheriff could have said “Piers, why do you keep cutting me off when I try to speak? Is it because I’m black? Isn’t enough that the United States and Great Britain put my people through slavery? I thought I had equal rights in this country! Why are you such a racist, Piers?”

      then again….

      Piers Morgan did throw a copy of the Constitution back to that guy from Brietbart in disgust so I already know that PM doesn’t care about the Constitution. We really shouldn’t have saved Great Britain from Germany back in WWII.

      The Milwaukee Mayor should take a look at Kennesaw ,GA. There is a town ordinance that requires every household to own a working firearm and ammo for the same. And people all over the country said there would be gunfights in the street. Of course, it didn’t happen, and the crime rate went down, down, down. It’s a suburb of Metro Atlanta. Also rated as one of the best places in the US to raise a family. Don’t expect to see a 60 Minutes story on Kennesaw soon.
      There are things I know, and things I believe. Let’s just talk what I know. If someone enters my house with BAD INTENTIONS, I know that a .45 hollow point will move that someone back far enough for me to get a second shot at them. I will then call 911, the police will come and confiscate my firearm and perhaps arrest me. Since Florida has a “stand your ground ” law I am confident I will eventually be released, and may even get my sidearm back(probably not)
      If that same “person with bad intentions” enters a firearm free home, that home owner will call 911 and the police will come……………..and draw a chalk line around the home owners body, and investigate his and maybe his whole family’s murder. AND there is a 50% chance the police will even charge someone with that crime, and sometimes they even get a conviction.

The woman firing the gun is question is NOT what the sheriff was talking about. She was hiding behind the sheriffs statement in order to defend her stupidity. The fact is many people have used a gun to defend themselves and may not have reported it to anyone, or perhaps to the Milwaukee PD, NOT the sheriffs office. The people of Milwaukee County LOVE and RESPECT Sheriff Clarke and LOATH mayor barrett, who is a TOTAL and EPIC failure.

      Clarke is the best – Milwaukee is fortunate to have him. Morgan hasn’t a clue. The MANY criminals in Milwaukee continue to be well armed, it’s been crime ridden since the crack epidemic in the early ’80s. A lot of areas where police risk their lives by even showing up. Clarke makes much needed common sense – a rare commodity. Morgan is a tool and a liberal ideologue. Would LOVE to see him MOVE to the North Side of Milwaukee, and test his beliefs out FOR REAL.

Most people know what they beleive but have a tough time defending it under pressure if they have not done their homework. Morgan understands that so when he has Ted Nugent or someone else who knows how to handle themselves on his show he treats them with respect.

      Morgan is a sniveling, conniving, sneering little shell of a twit that represents everything wrong with what modern men have become. I’m not entirely certain why this site continues to give him air time, but in this case it was good to see an upstanding traditional male type in authority stand up to “him”. If my family had wanted to hear more of his prattle they would not have emigrated to America in the first place. He needs to be dismissed as irrelevant and consigned to the obscurity his effeminate kind deserves.

      How did “men” like Morgan appear on the scene in such numbers? Read this.

      From the Article: “Using that line of reasoning, every single Milwaukee resident would have bought a gun just because the sheriff encouraged it, apparently unable to make the decision on their own.”

      This sort of “reasoning” (if we can call it that), is due to the fact that PM hails from England, where the blokes have allowed the government to disarm the public. Muslims troll the streets on “muslim patrol” harrassing Brits. It’s a madhouse. That’s where PM gets his “reasoning” skills.

      What is REALLY sad here is that he keeps getting beat up over “how many times was a gun fired in defense” yet that is actually the greater point…Officers don’t NORMALLY FIRE upon people, they take them into custody. The other option is that they how a firearm and the PERP RUNS AWAY….Police have that happen all the time. Criminal sees a weapon and flees the scene…did a shot get fired? NO!!!! Did the person protect themselves with a firearm YES!!!
      Look at the recent killings at the Theater or at the school…they did not even fire there…BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO LATE TO CATCH THEM IN THE ACT and STOP them. But is there was a person carrying concealed as in the one that followed where the guy walked into the theater and was stopped with 4 bullets to his chest…why is it that those do NOT make the Liberal News? https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=409042949177942&set=a.362561847159386.84375.361783440570560&type=1&relevant_count=1

    2nd Amendment supporters — and shouldn’t that include all Americans? — need to stop responding to questions like this one:
    “Morgan…[asked] how many people actually defended themselves or their families by firing a gun in Milwaukee.”
    It doesn’t matter how many people used a gun for self defense in any particular place. What is important is whether the government is infringing people’s rights to bear arms and be prepared for any emergency, whether caused by street criminals or government criminals.

    Someone needs to drop off Morgan in Camden NJ in the night without a gun. Morgan is completely clueless when it comes to crime in the inner city. Since several of the major cities re in debt and have to cut resources then they can not be as responsive. When an intruder has a gun and the police won’t arrive at the scene in a timely manner then the homeowner has the right to defend themselves with a gun. Is that so difficult to understand. The police chief was just being honest with the citizens of Milwaukee.

    Poor Pierce! He comes across as believing all gun owners are criminals. The fact is he has no idea of what responsible gun owners are all about. He may be surprised to know that most gun owners’ lives are just like his. They get up in the morning, go to work, have families, friends, and hobbies.

    The (hopefully) soon-to-be deported Pierce judges guns only by what damage they can do–NOT by the damage and tragedy they prevent. I hope he is never threatened by a gun-toting criminal, but if he was, I’m afraid his view would be much different–if not from 6 feet under.

      Could it be that his sort are criminals – at least at heart. The difference between his type and most criminals is that they have learned how to steal legally, by getting the government to do it form them.

    I stopped getting frustrated with Piers Morgan anti-gun interviews. At first, I’d wish his pro-gun guest would make better, clearer points and I’d get frustrated when I’m not satisfied with what I’m hearing.

    I’ve now seen a number of interviews where I’m completely satisfied with the pro-gun retorts to this moron. He simply talks over them, whines and moans when his (in his feeble mind) “gotcha” question doesn’t produce the result he’s expecting.

    Bottom line is, it really doesn’t matter how much sense the pro-gun guest make. He’s absolutely not interested in that… not his (small) liberal audience.
