His CNN show is ending, but Piers Morgan warned the National Rifle Association on Monday that he's “not done” with them.

"I wouldn't get too excited @NRA - I'm not done with you yet," Morgan tweeted.

CNN confirmed that “Piers Morgan Live” is going off the air after suffering perennially low ratings, though has not said when the final show will air. The New York Times reported it will end "probably in March."

During his tenure on the program, Morgan has made himself a clear opponent of the NRA.

After reports of the show's cancellation surfaced Sunday, the NRA tweeted the news from its official Twitter account, presumably prompting the tweet back from Morgan.

The NRA did not respond to Morgan's warning.

Morgan is reportedly in talks with CNN to stay on in some capacity, though it’s unclear what that would be.
