Gun debate madness: Piers Morgan’s dead children take on Ben Shapiro’s Holocaust victims
PIERS Morgan is trying to turn the gun debate in the US into his own circus. He wanted to put his head inside Ben Shapiro’s mouth. This is Shapiro who wrote the book: Bullies: How the Left’s Culture of Fear and Intimidation Silences Americans:
While President Obama and the left like to pretend that they oppose bullying with all their hearts and souls, the truth is far darker: the left is the greatest purveyor of bullying in modern American history. Bullying has morphed into the left’s go-to tactic, as they attempt to quash their opponents through fear, threat of force, violence, and rhetorical intimidation on every major issue facing America today.
Bullying? Oh, please. Bullying is what happens in playgrounds. Still, Morgan was self-promoting, as ever, and seemingly striving to epitomise the target’s in Shapiro’s tome.
Shapiro nailed him.
Morgan’s behaving like a dick. But Shapiro should know that the Holocaust analogy is a favourite of the pro-gun movement. It’s appalling. The idea that if the Jews had been better armed they could have fought back is a crock of crap. The NRA rep says black slaves, too, would have benefitted from guns.
No. That’s wrong. Sure, a few loons would have been shot. But, you see, the enemy that wanted to murder them and enslave them had bigger guns and State powers. An oppressed minorities could have fought off the oppressor had they only had some guns? Did Shapiro see what it took to defeat the Nazis?

what makes me laff – is these gun nuts like jacob – say that they need guns as a balance or check – against the US government becoming a tyranny to people.
.
They then bitch and complain when countries like Iran and N Korea arm themselves with nuclear weapons – as a check and balance against US tyranny.
.
The Iranians and N Korans use the exact same logic to justify their WMD programmes.
.
So if your pro-citizens having access to military grade hardware –
.
Then you are either pro N Korea and Iran having the bomb,
.
Or your a hypocrite who hasn’t thought through the logic of your argument very well.
.
.
it’s also worth noting that the arms the 2nd amendment reffered to were front loading muskets – the type that had bugger all accuracy over 50m and had a fire rate of about 4 shots per minute (if you were a highly trained professional soldier)

tell that to the parents in Sandy Hook – paranoia is not going to reduce the death rate in the US, only accelerate it as people like you feed the fear.

learn some history before talking about it like you know whats going on. and no, highschool “history” class doesn’t count. Our government is setup to defend against any threat of tyranny so it can be hard for Americans to understand. Our government is not the only system of checks and balances the entire NATION was designed to be a series of checks and balances. federal, state, local; military, militia, police force. all armed and all able to defeat the other depending on the circumstance, because of guns. Guns are what ensure to us that if the government makes the wrong move we can stand up to them and say that it’s not gonna happen, but without that force to claim we can easily be manipulated through intimidation and fear, just as Germany was which led to Nazism. That is why the founding fathers set up our government in the way that it is setup, though we are missing the militias we used to have which has upset the balance and the police force becomes more militarized… we need to take these things back not make them harder to achieve.
