I completely agree with you about Piers, does my head most times but he is a smart lad and does surprise me from time to time with some common sense... in reference to the gun violence in the USA, at the time of me writing this reply, there was another two mass shootings in the states this past week alone ... But it so stupid that the Americans` allow this to happen... the stats state that proper gun control will reduce the amount of gun related deaths... They think more guns will stop this... arm the teachers, arm everyone, a good person with a gun will beat a bad person with a gun, its an oxymoron... good people will not want to use the gun, maybe hesitate a little when it comes to actually having to use them, leaving the bad person, who is on a rampage, another soft target!!

While Piers can at times come across as arrogant, there is more that I like about him than dislike. He is true to himself and never tiptoes around issues. He is not afraid to give his opinion, even when he knows it will be unpopular. Piers is a good judge of character. He had Meghan Markle figured out a couple of years ahead of the rest of us. I respect Piers for his honesty and for being such a straight arrow.

[@gospelafric]

[@PhiI93]

Whether you like him or not, Piers speaks a lot of sense.

[@PhiI93]

***** C'mon man, get out of your bubble and get a grip. From your profile you're clearly a biased gun fan. I'm neither, I just hear news stories of people getting massacred, and I realise it's appalling and should not be happening. The fact remains that guns are legal, and any nutter can wield them. Here's a statistic of my own, even if 99% of people who own guns in America don't kill people, it only takes that 1% to compromise their reputation.

[@SquidPartyGames]

***** How can you have a Trout Mask Replica avatar and support Piers Morgan?

[@PhiI93]

The Sharmanic Nucleus It was a rather misinformed comment. It probably should have said he speaks 'some sense', given people immediately associate him as being a total cunt. I don't support him at all actually, I agree with the first commenter and I found his comment to the interviewer about what he knew of football success utterly immature and pompous, which is what he probably is, even though he speaks... Some sense. Got me? ;)

[@danielt.8573]

***** I actually agree with the use of firearms for one's family protection at home specially. " The gun is an instrument not a cause (...) " You haven't said it directly but I'm assuming you are in favor of background checks right? Because we issue licences to drive and we avoid our children to use knives as well. Besides a car's main use is for transportation and a gun's main use is to shoot something or someone so there's an implicid intention when using one.

[@danielt.8573]

***** That's indeed a good positive story and it actually illustrates what I think is the best solution of all: " The driver had a concealed-carry permit and acted in the defense of himself and others ". How did that first crazyman got a gun in the first place? Also there's the how did the driver [fortunately] got his permit? I'll finish by mentioning that the second amendment says " the right of people to keep and bear arms " but there's a clear distinction between people and crazy people that clearly aren't in the same category and the amendment doesn't discriminate wich is wich. Background checks seem to be a fair well-ballanced solution for all without infringing the second amendment.

Piers Morgan may be the only ex-tabloid editor I respect. He can be irritating - perhaps smug, at times but deserves credit for standing up to the gun lobby.
