TV Anchor Delivers Blistering Fact-Check Of Piers Morgan’s Anti-Gun Claims

After Morgan’s very public, on-air spat with radio host Alex Jones, Ben Swann, a local Fox anchor for WXIX-TV in Cincinnati, offered up a fascinating fact-check of some of the stats that the British CNN host has been using. Morgan will surely find the results unpalatable.

  1. I would have thought that Piers Morgan would have been gone by now !?!? But then again he doesn’t have a brain !!!

  2. I still have not heard ONE person tell the public how gun control will stop mass murder or bring crime rate down. Never has..never will!!!

    A weapon, arm, or armament is a tool or instrument used in order to inflict damage, harm or death to enemies or other living beings, structures, or systems. Weapons are used to increase the efficacy and efficiency of activities such as hunting, crime, law enforcement, and warfare. In a broader context, weapons may be construed to include anything used to gain a strategic, material or mental advantage over an adversary. Any instrument/object when used to cause bodily harm is an assault weapon. Water, sound, electricity can be also used as a weapon to assault.

    There were weapons, murders and killings long before there were guns.

    A person could take 3 guns that hold only six rounds each and take out up to 18 people. How does banning assault weapons stop people from killing? It DOESN’T!!! All it does is cause a person to come up with another plan.

    Do people really think that banning what will be determined as assault weapons would have stopped the killers from accomplishing their task or obtaining a gun on the black market? Banning assault weapons will make the price go up on the black market. There are people who cannot buy a gun legally yet they still have then m or know how to purchase one.

    Realize how many of these mass killing are done by the mentally unstable, a person on drugs and end up killing themselves after their killing spree. So we blame the gun not the medication. Why not ban drugs that alter a person thought patterns.

    They have our kids on drugs, because there are people who cannot handle the trials and tribulations that go with parenting now that you are not allowed to disipline their children.

    I think every US citizen should have a gun and law enforcement classes to teach people how to use them.
    If the every teacher at the school had a gun and knew how to use them there would have been less people killed, because someone could have taken him out. If a person got the idea to go to a school and shoot people and he knew every teacher had a gun and was trained on how to use them I am sure he would pick another place where no one had a gun.

    Some say have an armed guard at every school. The guard cannot be at more than one place at a time. If the guard is at the front of the school and the shooter enters from the back or side door the guard cannot get to where the shooter is in time to stop him. Yes his being there will mean less children likked., but we 0 children killed. If you rely on law enforcement it takes them a certain amount of time to get to the crime scene.

    People ask the question: Why does a person need these type of guns. They have them because they want them and have the right to own them. Just because they own them does not mean they are going to go out and kill people.

    If assault weapons were were banned it would not have stopped him. Maybe slowed him down. A person does not need an assault weapon to commit mass murder!

    To say banning assault weapons will stop mass murders or stopping a person from killing is ridiculous!!!

    So the guy wevil they will do evil with whatever method they can get their hands on. That is the reality of it.
    Do some people really believe if there were no, what is determined an assault weapon these sickos would not have killed people.

    BTW, did you know the ACLU prevented his mother from institutionalizing him.

    A Connecticut mental health bill was recently defeated, because the ACLU said the bill would infringe on patients’ privacy rights.

    That bill was defeated by the same vermin on the left who are trying to take your guns away.
    I do have to agree the mother knowing her son should be institutionalized should have not left her guns where Adam had access to them.

    There have been over 12 shootings within the past 4 years. Why all of a sudden is the number of shootings on the increase and the time frame getting closer together? Could it be these shooters were hypnotized, put into a trance or programmed to do what they did and to kill themselves after they accomplished the act.
    They were able to to capture Holmes.

    I still want some one to explain how gun control will stop mass murder or bring crime rate down. YOU CAN’T!!!! Nor can I find anywhere stating a sane gun owner went on a killing spree. I take that back. Janet Reno came to mind.

  3. In reply to Mountaine:
    It’s pretty obvious as to why Piers Morgan is still here. He is a man? without a country. The Brits demand that we do not deport him back, and for sure, we don’t want him here. Maybe Kenya or Indonesia might be more suitable. What say ye !!

  4. It is unclear just what Morgan expects to accomplish with a gun ban in America; maybe he would rather people are robbed or killed by a different method than a gun, like Britain, they ban guns but still have more crime, I suppose he just wants us to be industrious and IMPROVISE so we are more flexible. If Morgan wants less guns around, then go back home so you can avoid guns but will likely be attacked with a tire iron.

  5. Evil always comes from man’s heart. What most people don’t get it really is not about gun ownership, it is about stealing our freedoms from us. When you attack one Amendment you leave it open to attack all the rest. My argument is not about guns it is my right as a “Free American” to own one.

  6. Hey Piers…..Put those stats in your water pipe and smoke them!!

  7. So Piers Morgan cares so much about his children he doesn’t want any one carrying guns near them? What is Piers going to do if his home is threatened by an armed invader? Throw his skirt over his head and run away crying to 0bama? I guarantee he either lives in a gated community protected by guards (armed?) or a limited access high rise protected by guards! It’s possible he employs his own armed guards for protection. Because of course as a member of the media he has a special right that he has no problem denying to the rest of us knuckle dragging rubes in fly-over country! First they let all the criminals have rights that they deny to the victims, then while they’re busy letting all the criminals go free on technicalities, they want the public to be utterly defenseless!! The only thing I want to know about the next victim is whether or not he voted for 0bama!

  1. [...] News about numbers used by Piers Morgan The day after Morgan, as leaners say, owned Alex Jones, it seems that a local TV reporter came up with some real numbers about what Morgan had to talk about in that interview. I remember Morgan repeatedly asking how many people were killed in the UK with guns and finally saying it was 35. That little local guy found a different number, not much different, but enough to make Morgan a liar. The number he found was 59. Here is a chance to hear that local reporter who I don't think ever made it to any kind of MSM site. TV Anchor Delivers Blistering Fact-Check of Piers Morgan?s Anti-Gun Claims [...]
