Morgan must love getting spanked. First Ben Shapiro, Dana Loesch, and now Gingrich.
NEWT GINGRICH: So where — so where are you — so where are you on pistols that have fairly large capacity? Where are you on the pistols that killed most of the people in Chicago, Piers?
PIERS MORGAN: My position –
GINGRICH: It’s okay if we kill them individually?
MORGAN: No. Let me make my position.
GINGRICH: Are you saying three, four, five, and that’s okay?
MORGAN: Let my position very, very clear. What is happening in Chicago is completely outrageous, completely unacceptable. I think there’s been a total breakdown in the effectiveness of the law enforcement. Because when you compare it to New York, they have solved a lot of the gun problems in New York with very stringent gun control and they’ve enforced it properly. There are — it’s like the Wild West situation in parts of Chicago. I’ve been there, I think it’s outrageous. And I think the fact that 11,000 or 12,000 people die a year in America from gun fire and a lot of that is from handguns used by criminals and gangsters is disgraceful.
GINGRICH: Right.
MORGAN: And I think many of the other –
GINGRICH: So why — right. So why don’t you share your real view?
MORGAN: Many of the other proposals –
GINGRICH: Isn’t it –
MORGAN: It’s all wrong to me.
GINGRICH: Isn’t your real view that you would ban pistols if you could?
MORGAN: No, it wouldn’t. What –
GINGRICH: Wouldn’t you ban pistols if you could?
MORGAN: Let me — let me explain what I would do. I would agree with Diane Feinstein. It is the high-powered guns of any variety which can fire 30 or 40 or more rounds in less than a minute that can cause mass murder that would be my primary concern right now. And the AR-15 is a prime example of that.
GINGRICH: Okay, right now, and the reason you find so many of us, and by the way, it’s a substantial majority, I think the last time I saw, 63 percent of the American people agree that the Second Amendment is actually there to protect us from tyranny. The reason you find so many of us very reluctant to go down this road is we believe each step down this road leads to the next step and the next step and the next step. And we actually think the Second Amendment is central to our liberties, not just something there for hunters, not something there for target practice, but actually there because the founding fathers remembered that when your army tried to defeat us, luckily, our peasants weren’t peasants. They were citizens. And as citizens, they were in fact armed. And that’s the only reason we were able to win the Revolutionary War.
MORGAN: And you think — and you honestly think the founding fathers sat there and thought, okay, automatic weapons are banned because they are very dangerous. The semiautomatics that can fire 100 bullets in a minute are not dangerous and they should be lawful?
GINGRICH: I think the founding fathers would have found this entire debate strange because they actually believed in individual freedom and they were very suspicious of big government, and they would find the idea that you’re going to permit, to use the word you kept using. You’re going to permit us to have a few liberties right now, was the antithesis of the American experience.
Morgan is the quintessential pompous prick. He’s so thoroughly convinced of his own moral superiority that he fails to realize when he’s been owned. His implosions against American citizens who support the Bill of Rights and Constitution are on par with former MSNBC/Current TV moonbat Keith Olbermann, and dysfunctional loony Chris Matthews.
And he’s just as unhinged.

Spaff,
The facts are cold, hard, and unpleasant. Don’t shoot the messenger. Aviva & Bupa…WOW. You mean that you actually have two whole other options? Two private healthcare companies? And yet the NHS, which has the bulk of British patients is still impersonal, filthy, and antiquated. You’d think with all that compassion for the poor, that the conditions would be better monitored and enforced. But, when you accept (um pardon me, can only afford) government control over your healthcare, that’s what happens. Taxpayers are footing the bill for a medical system that has proven to be an epic fail. I think we can agree on some things:
1. That people should be able to select the insurance provider that suits them
2. That costs can be kept down if a patient uses services like CAT scans and MRIs wisely and takes accountability for their own personal health.
3. Laws against medical fraud, padding bills, dishonest health care claims, need to be strongly enforced.
4. Stop unnecessary regulations on pharmaceutical companies that drive up the costs of prescriptions: i.e. studies of comparative effectiveness.
5. Allow the the expansion of generic drugs.
6. Work with your doctor and don’t take any unnecessary medications. I know people who take handfuls of pills every damned day, and it causes more problems than it’s worth.
I read up on many things, thank you. Politics, history, commentary, essays, military, philosophy, fiction, science, a veritable collection of diverse educational and informative topics. Hence, the ease with with I battered your arguments. Try reading other posts on my blog. You may learn something.
You have a nice day as well.

Clearly you have never heard of BUPA or Aviva.
Try reading up on something once in a while. In failing that, just try reading something, anything. Even a pop up book.
Have a nice day

Spaff,
The record of terrible incidents and the body count belie your assertion.
They don’t have much of a choice, because there’s only one universal healthcare system. They’d have to leave the country, otherwise.

Ma’am your facts are inaccurate, I’m sure the loud shouting man television has told you how horrible they are, but he is wrong. You have described a tiny number of hospitals in the country, not the bigger picture.
Just today an NHS Hospital in Birmingham has been preparing to replace half a girl’s skull with a Titanium plate after she was shot at point blank range in Pakistan.
The NHS also gave Professor Stephen Hawking advanced machinery tat allowed him to live and become one of the leading Physicists in the world today. He would have died without it, he has said so himself.
There are other options for healthcare in this country, the NHS is not the only option there are plenty of private places people can go to, but they don’t.

Spaff,
You have a failed socialist health care system that costs thousands of lives due to depraved indifference, overcrowding, lack of adequate care and bureaucratic incompetence. I didn’t need the Sun to point that out.

Apparently, many British citizens aren’t too enamored with your NHS.
As for “affording” your hospitals, do they really have any other choice? And just think, ObamaCare enforcement is on the horizon for us. We have so much to look forward to.
