Tactical Firearms
CNN host Piers Morgan, a vocal gun control advocate, traveled to Katy, Texas this week to supposedly learn about guns at a local gun shop and shooting range. Morgan chose Katy’s Tactical Firearms as the location for his show Monday where he interviewed the owner and delved into the contentious gun debate with guests like Ted Nugent and Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott.
But Jeremy Alcede, owner of Tactical Firearms, claims CNN “completely misrepresented” the message he wanted get across, KIAH-TV reports.
Alcede said he was excited that Morgan appeared genuine in his desire to actually shoot and learn about firearms. Many have been critical of Morgan’s strict anti-gun stance given the fact that he has very little experience handling firearms.
Jeremy Alcede, owner of Tactical Firearms (KIAH-TV)
He recounted what Morgan told him: “He said, ‘well, I’d like to learn more about guns. People criticize me, saying, how can I be against guns if I don’t know anything about guns?’”
“I said man, this is going to be really good, he really is wanting to find out,” Alcede said.
Unfortunately, the owner feels like he was misled by CNN and Morgan. Alcede argues that CNN told him the segment would be aired live, but it wasn’t. He also says the network edited and chopped his remarks up so badly that he wasn’t able to get his point across at all.
“They completely misrepresented what I wanted to get across, completely,” Alcede said.
He went on: “The points that I did make were just garbled to the point that people were asking why was I speaking in broken sentences, and I said, look back at the video and you’ll see, in one instance I’m wearing glasses, one I’m not. One hearing protection, one not. They just chopped it up so bad it wasn’t even funny.”
CNN did not immediately return calls from KIAH-TV.

Feb. 6, 2013 at 6:41pmMr. Alcede,
Did you REALLY think this bed-wetting European was there to get the truth? You should consider paying more attention to these commies.
Piers and his ilk don’t give a rat’s ass about rational debates, truth or facts. They are hell bent on turning America into a failed European-like state. They’ll lie, cheat and steal sans conscience if it means moving their agenda a single inch towards that goal.

Feb. 6, 2013 at 7:17pmPiers Morgan was fired from his job for using fraudulent anti-military photographs, so he left England and came here, and now he can’t go back because he has been implicated in the cell phone hacking scandal. So, the man has no credibility in his own country, that he is constantly holding up as an example of a gun-free society… well… What I find ironic is the Brits are now protesting, demanding their gun rights back! Watch this video! It is great and supports everything we have been saying!

Feb. 6, 2013 at 7:42pmI wonder if all 173,000 viwers were watching. CNN is trying to go belly up so they can get bailed out like the banks. Back in 2007 I used to watch CNN but then Obama & Valerie Jarret starting talking about Fox and went over to see what they were talking about. Wow. – real news and you could check it for yourselve and then you find you have been lied to. Even my 30 year sons have switched to fox.

Feb. 6, 2013 at 7:52pmThe way to get around things like this is to have your own cameras just out of sight of CNN’s and have your own unedited copy. I don’t forsee myself as ever having to face this, but it’s what I’d do if I ever did.

Feb. 7, 2013 at 9:01amI’m just going to come out and say what I think everyone is wanting to say but are hesitant to say because of the way the left will misconstrue it. Yes we have the right to defend ourselves from home invasions, from mindless idiots on a shooting rampage in schools, malls, movie theaters and the like, but the unspoken reason thus far, is that our founding fathers gave us this right to defend ourselves from a tyranical government.

Feb. 6, 2013 at 6:40pmOn the one hand I don’t want to feel bad for this guy, I mean it’s Morgan and CNN, what did you expect?
On the other hand, it’s possible that he doesn’t watch CNN, has no idea who Piers is and got taken for a ride.
Either way, Piers Morgan is a lying, two-faced moron. Which is why his rating suck.
This push for gun control legislation is going no where. The Dems don’t have the votes in the Senate and I doubt it would even make it out of committee in the House.
Obama can parade around campaigning for gun control legislation, and he might get it in a few state legislatures, but at the national level it’s not going to happen. Feinstein’s bill is done. Put a fork in it.

Feb. 7, 2013 at 4:01amGood video. I saw a similar one a couple weeks ago, except it was from Australia. Same warning to Americans about keeping their gun rights because they took them from people in Australia. The crime rate is up because the criminals know the people have been disarmed. Tragic in both England and Australia. They’ll never get those rights back.

I have relatives in Katy and they are good, hardworking, Christian, gun owning, patriotic Americans. Old Piers should just stay in New York City and tell his lies.

Feb. 6, 2013 at 6:08pmHe should have thrown Pierce out of his building when approached to do the segment. No one with sound thinking could actually trust PM to accurately and fairly represent “the other side”. That is the problem with Libs, they wear blinders and despite them saying they are so “open minded”, they are no where near open minded. They yell from the mountain top to be “Tolerant”; yet they are incapable of being tolerent.

Feb. 6, 2013 at 6:01pmC’mon….that is beyond lame.
Pier’s Morgan, a liberal gun control Nazi, who has made it his personal vendetta to bring about a permanent ban on guns betrayed the values someone who sells guns. The very thing that Pier’s Morgan wants to ban?
And after you invite this serpent into your store, your life, your values…you have the audacity to complain?
If you put a King Cobra into bed with you, do you NOT expect to be bitten?
Here is a piece of advice to all of you freedom loving people out there.
Stop thinking you can “save” the eternally ignorant. Stop believing that if you could just have 5 minutes with this journalist or that you could convince them to think a different way or be reasonable.
They will all listen to you cheerfully. They will encourage you to speak your views and ask plenty of questions.
Then when they have what they need, they’ll (symbolically) put a yard of steel in your guts, and smile as they twist the blade.
People!, they hate you. They hate your freedom, they hate what you stand for, they hate your God, they hate the fact that you are decisive. But most of all they hate that you “DO” things instead of talk about them.
Give these serpents nothing!

Feb. 6, 2013 at 6:00pmMr Morgan has a PROVEN record of journalistic dishonesty acquired in his own country, so why should anybody be surprised about what he is doing now?
If anybody is in a situation where they are about to be interviewed by the media, they should do a basic check on the interviewer. That, to my mind, is just basic common sense.

Feb. 6, 2013 at 6:00pmClearly Not Nice, was it? We have to saturate the communications with viral emails (they can’t stand that?), and of course we might be able to figure out a way to start creating viral blogs, where every blog created will also make money, maybe even using left over stimulous money “to start a business”?
Once we start making money with these blogs, it won’t matter if Fox News, it won’t matter if the old cranky guy on Fox does not like it, and there will be so many blogs, that you can’t mount denial of service attacks, and of course they will be driving the people on Twitter and Facebook out of their minds, because we will syndicate the articles?
It might even be more fun than looting Jewish homes after they were sent to the ovens, like George Soros liked to remember as a fond memory? We might even ask the State Department and foreign embassies the best way to syndicate translations into foreign languages, so foreigners can rent limited dns records for a cut of the action but allow foreign security services not to let organized crime get their foot in the door?
That’s why Michael Berry is talking about the attack on the 1st Amendment?

May want to mold the bullets out of silver as well just to be on the safe side; the full moon is always around the corner and there’s a lot of socialist’s about as well.
