"So the little black faces don't mean as much as the little cherub faces?" This was the tactic Piers himself uses but it's turned around on him. What did Piers say to that? "Now you just sound ridiculous!!!" That was the best part of this whole debate.

I in fact don't agree with what he says. Learn the difference between effective debating tactics and convincing arguments.

Relating to your example where did I say Piers won the argument? Tell me that and I'll agree with you on how much of a 'moron' I must be.

No sir. I played Mortal Kombat as a kid and every fiber in my body wants to rip someone’s heart out 😂 Edit: I strongly feel the urge to be specific in saying this is a joke. I’m just chippin you guys!!!

[@xcaluhbration]

Mmm... I have a tough time saying that violence in various media of games, movies or just ingesting horrific violence in online videos of executions etc have ZERO effects on crime rates. Similarly I have a hard time saying showing sex and sexuality in a very frivolous manner doesn't helps contribute to higher unwanted births, STDs etc. We're impressionable creatures and we have sex and violence deeply ingrained in us all by nature. By constantly feeding our minds on these things we begin to shape our thought process and eventually our hearts so that when a situation arises, we're more likely to lean into a regretful sexual encounter or violence as a first reaction. Violent media isn't all to blame, the parenting sucks, too many hours are required for parents to be at work away from their kids to make a living and that makes it soooooooo much easier to be raised by media of overtly violent and sexual natures.

[@hamschh]

video games are one of the many moving parts that causes people's minds to want to murder. If talking about percentage, it's probably like 1% of the problem. The mind is complicated and we do not fully understand it yet. But i am sure media, movies, video games all play a role in the development of a mass murderer. Should we censor it? No. Tons of people play video games and do not kill people.

***** You do realize that comparing crime in Europe to America is kind of ridiculous. These countries don't have nearly the gang problem we have, serious drug problem, the amount of guns on the streets, overall violence, high crime, ect. To the best of my knowledge these countries in Europe didn't have nearly as high of gun crime before the ban and they didn't have the overall crime we have. To cut down on gun crime/go after serious criminals/crack down on violent people with mental illness would you support stop and frisk, allowing government officals to look at anyone's medical records, and allow cops to search personal property without a warrant or probable cause?

[@neondeion12]

***** The European countries with strict gun laws that you're talking about don't make it "a little harder" for someone to own a gun they make it almost impossible for legal gun owners to get a gun. How are you going to make it harder for these crazy people to own a gun when the vast majority of these mass shooters pass a background check in the first place?

[@neondeion12]

***** These European countries make it extremely hard for legal gun owners to own a gun and you have to have a great reason to own one. The vast majority of these mass shooters don't steal their guns from their parents the majority get their guns legally by pass a background check. I'm guessing when you bring up "assault weapons" you mean guns like the semi-automatic AR-15's instead of the actual meaning? Semi-automatic long rifles have always been pretty available yet they are rarely used in crime and are responsible for less than 300 deaths a year ( which includes all hunting rifles and all long rifles). So I'm guessing you don't support stop and frisk and allowing cops to search personal property without a warrant? The gang shootings and urban crime are a much bigger problem than these mass shootings. The countries gun laws you are citing don't make getting a gun a "slightly inconvenience" they make sure very few own guns and the people who do own guns are usually the ones living out in the middle of no where/farmers.

He was conflating different issues and rattling off statistic and Ant was trying to be specific. I can totally see how someone would consider that a victory for Peirs but in my eyes Ant was trying to have reasoned and principled arguments and Peirs was kind of smugly deflecting. He uses very effective tactics, but that's all they are, debate tactics. It's not winning an argument, it's executing a strategy to present yourself as superior. It's all based in talking points and anecdotes with no true foundational principle. It's just annoying.

[@AubreyGrahamMaster]

One of my favorite O&A moments was when Patrice O'neal was on talking about home invasions and said how funny it would be if someone broke in and killed Anthony in his sleep. I have been hunting since I was 12 and used to spend entire summers murdering squirrels at my grandparent's walnut ranch and I will always prefer pump action shotguns and bolt-action rifles over any semi-automatic weapon. AR-15s are fun to shoot at the range, but to use them to hunt is a douche move.

Oh man I knew exactly where this was going as soon as I saw the title lool

[@Vebinz]

I generally am sympathetic to gun owners and gun rights activists, but I've yet to encounter a solid answer to the whole "why not own a bazooka?" point.

[@bennmurray25]

Why doesn't the Bill of Rights forbid cannons?

[@bennmurray25]

I'm on the same page. I think America has turned into a bunch of pussies.

[@kataisa3]

Everybody owns cars. Why not own a tank instead?

[@bennmurray25]

***** Well let's look at who is unbalanced and irrational: the ATF got caught a couple years ago shipping guns and hand grenades into Mexico. Who will watch the watchers?

[@Stratahoovius]

Probably because with a Bazooka, they'd kill a home-invader as well everyone else in their house! hahaha

[@nickypeeps]

i love how Piers has to act like a militia somehow inherently has the same amount of organization and responsibility as the US army just because he knows no pro-gun people he talks to will ever start a militia. Anthony can't be trusted to own a gun, but he'd be expected to form and operate a rogue army when the time's right

[@seph_f]

wow anthony got destroyed here

[@ambroseburnside5764]

+Desperado Seph F is a Libtard so his answers probably going to be yes

[@seph_f]

+Zach Miller I am?

[@PanasonicTooth]

Yes. If you're not a Trump suckin' gun advocate then you are a "libtard".

[@sxrxrnrvigil]

look I think Anthony is right and I agree with all his points, but the OP is right, the limey completely ran the conversation and had all his facts straight, Anthony was on defense the entire time, if he had his facts straight like Morgan he would have crushed him

[@ryanrizzajones]

Yeah, i like Anthony and piers kinda annoys me a lot of the time but there were points that were just irrefutable logic where he kinda responded with "yeah, and?" coulda been a more interesting discussion.

[@fredbassong398]

cheers for all your hard work in getting these up so fast, many thanks

[@stza16]

Piers Morgan can't argue.

[@ScubaShneve]

That was a HORRIBLE debate. Piers cannot let anyone talk. Anthony actually let him talk for a long time. But, as soon as he started countering, Piers would interrupt and very slightly change what the current argument was about. Stick to one thing at a time, ffs!

[@splitimage9621]

i hate Morgan but had alot more points than Cumia!
