Piers Morgan continually tried to get Dana Loesch and Scottie Hughes to say they had a right to a tank, trying to use an extreme example to make both of them look extreme. And in response Loesch continually said the 2nd amendment protects our right to bear firearms – and if a tank is a considered a firearm then sure. Obviously it’s not, but what Morgan was trying to do was to make her admit that she’s ‘interpreting’ the Constitution to make his point that if you don’t need a tank, then why do you need an AR-15 or something.

And it went on from there. Dana even tried to explain to Piers a thing or two about ‘assault rifles’ – or rather why they aren’t assault rifles but Piers just kept wondering why she ‘needs’ something that can shoot 100 bullets in a minute.

All in all Dana Loesch and Scottie Hughes stood their ground as Piers tried to bully them through the whole interview.

No one can explain to you Pierce because you cannot even ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS. You have such contempt prior to being informed of the state of our Nation. What would have happened in history when HITLER invaded EUROPE and the citizens had AR-15's? Your own country's history should speak to you. May you find peace in your search for the TRUTH!

"It shot 17 Americans in a movie theater in 90 seconds. It murdered a group of New York State firemen. It killed 20 school children in an elementary school. This particular weapon has been used in the last four mass-shootings..."

And therein is the crux of his point of view. In his mind, it isn't the people who committed these atrocities that are at fault, it's the availability of the weapon used.

Piers Morgan at 10:22 made a remark about "slaughter of children" . I'm curious about his position about "planned parenthood's" slaughter of 333,942 babies in 2012.

Time and again, these events demonstrate that the only place the points made by the man named "Piers" make sense are in the extreme. As with other progressive leftists with or without a megaphone, he behaves like an undisciplined child who chooses to express his understanding of the world exclusively through hyperbole. The question about owning a tank is illustrative of that but serves a dual purpose attracting the undisciplined thinker.

After his best efforts to dicredit two superb defenders of the Constitution and human rights fail, he throws a tantrum and feels "sick". I wanted to commend Dana and Scottie for not succumbing to the natural impulse to comfort the sick or intervene when the child throws a tantrum. Also wanted to urge everyone to restart the petition drive to send the man named "Piers" back to his country of origin where he will feel more at home answering for his behavior in the phone hacking scandle the Daily Mirror newspaper.

You made a classic mistake, you let him run the show. He asked all the questions, gave all the answers and never let you finish a complete sentence. Actually, he would have been a fool to do otherwise because he would have lost. You have to expect that going in to these things, it is never about the subject it is all about winning, and it is his show after all. All you can do is point out, every other second that that is exactly what he is doing. Stay on one question one subject, one answer and never leave it. You will never be able to finish an answer because he won't let you, but at least you can fully expose exactly what is really going on. Other than that, you did a decent job.

A tank isn't considered a firearm? really? How about a nuclear weapon. Ever heard of the nuclear arms treaty? He was forced to use an extreme example to show the inconsistency of the argument that says "any arm that a military has the civilians should also be able to have. I will admit that currently our second amendment if taken literally says we can have nukes. Since I think it is insane for people to have nukes we need to amend the constitution to fit modern times.

I'm curious as to why Piers would think Americans care one iota what he does, or does not have a problem with us owning?

I am so glad Ben Shapiro showed the world what this clown is all about.

This A-Hole bullied these two women. He asked them questions over and over and gave their answers ZERO respect.

I am no expert. But I would highly encourage this man to find a mental health councilor.....

"It is because of this interpretation of the Constitution [second amendment] that got America into this horrific mess in the first place."

-Pierce Morgan (from my memory)

Evidently, according to genius Morgan, it is the classic American Definition of our Constitution that has placed America in it's horrible condition.

WTF? I mean, WTF?

This high paid journalist clown can't even speak his native tongue well enough to get his ideas across. Let alone lecture any American on how they had better understand their Constitution....

This man suffers some serious delusions......

I could buy a bus, legally, start carrying passengers and drive it off a cliff. Doing this would kill many in seconds. Should we ban buses or planes for that matter? Another thought, I could take a knife, peal an apple, or kill someone with it. It is what THE PERSON DOES with the weapon, Piers. It is people killing people. Targeting specific weapons will not keep people from doing bad things to many people, period!

This is the dumbest argument I have ever heard. Protecting ourselves from enemies both foreign AND domestic does indeed include a tyrannical government here in the US. You have no debate sir. Keep talking, you are only making yourself look more like an - ask no more stupid questions please.

Those two women cleaned his clock.

Armored tanks are not guns despite the fact they have a gun attached. Piers is equating a kumquat to a watermelon.

The term 'assault' is being kept a fluid term so that future bans can be enacted, Asking Powell and McChrystal is like asking any leftard because they don't view the 2nd Amendment in it's proper historical context. 2nd amendment is not for hunting. It is for self defense of any kind including defense against one's own government.

Piers typifies the old Persian Proverb: A fool who knows not that he is a fool is dangerous. Shun him.

Personally I would like to punch Piers because that is exactly what he deserves. I don't need a gun to whip his A**.

Piers Morgan is a child when he can not get his way, or you do not agree with him, he tries to talk over you.

People did not own canons which were the equivalent of a tank. What in gods name would you use one for?

I do not know how CNN's ratings are doing but surely this man cannot be doing them any good.

I crack up at the very end of this video when Pier’s loses it and wads up that piece of paper in his fist. Dana and Scottie simultaneously both begin to say “Piers, Piers…” as a mother would when trying to comfort and reign in an emotionally distraught child’s. It reminds me that while Conservative women are intelligent, strong and independent, we haven’t lost the wonderful nurturing qualities which make us feminine.

Can't stand these talking heads that ask a question then proceed to drown out the attempted answers with rude bloviation.

The continued question about a tank...like he was making a major point if they answer affirmative about tank ownership...typical liberal fool assuming that people who own tanks are going to drive to the nearest school and start shooting.

Hey Morgan you moron, there are american private citizens who own tanks.

My father told me to never argue with an idiot. Because on lookers will not be able to tell which one is the idiot. We have to come up with a better plan. Hit Piers where he lives-- in his wallet. Post the sponsors of his show and let then know we the people are boycotting their products. Piers is not going home,the English will not let him back into their country

Here's the answer that would have made Piers, the git, shut up: I need an AR-15 because President Obama and Eric Holder let hundreds of weapons go to criminals hands in his failed Fast and Furious operation! The POS armed criminals and I need to be able to defend myself!...More proof that government has never been and will never be the answer!

Here is the answer to the "tank" question.

Morgan (M) V. Gun rights advocate (GRA )

M: can you own a tank ?

GRA: Well a tank isn't a firearm, it is a motorvehicle.

Speaking of which, I saw an interesting article about you, your car, and Melanie Griffith.

What kind of car do you drive in the US Mr. Morgan ?

M: Oh that was my Aston Martin Rapide .

GRA: And why do you think you need an Aston Martin Rapide ?

M: Its got 4 doors, and I can get my children into it .

GRA: Lots of cars have 4 doors, what is the single distinguishing feature of the Aston Martin Rapide ?

M: Goes 183 MPH

GRA, IS there anyplace in the US that you can drive at 183 MPH ? Why do you need that ?

M: Harrumph

Morgan is using the US Constitution 2nd amendment as a basis for liberal sensational debate only to promote himself, and increase viewership of his show (Ratings) . It’s all about his job security! Me, me, me.

These as****liberals blow about goodness and rightness with no thought of logic or reason. Defeating a liberal and his "position" with a cogent point or well-turned phrase is like trying to slaughter a hog with a ball-peen hammer. You're wasting your time. The hog is more likely to die when a bus crosses through the sty or from old age than from repeated blows of a sharp, conservative intellect.

Just my 2 pfennings worth.

Since CNN is the lowest rated 'news' channel out there, I wonder if they would go under if we on the right simply ignored them? If no 'interviews' were given, no comments made to any of their 'reporters' and no one replayed any of their idiocy then I have to wonder how long they would stay in business. I think their biggest viewership comes from us on the right when we either tune in to see this junk or watch it & mock it after the fact.

Also - why do we give any legitimacy to this 'Brit'? He's loathsome & not even liked in his home country. Hell, his predecessor Larry King doesn't even like him anymore.

Every time I hear the argument about tanks and the 2nd amendment I go through the roof. For thirteen years of the 20 I was in the Army I was a Tank Commander so I know a little about them. My last tank was the M1A2. Tanks are not firearms they are “weapons systems” meaning it takes a “crew’ of at least three to effectively operate one. A tank has four weapons - two M240 (7.62) machine guns, a M2 .50 caliber Machine gun and a 120 mm smooth bore cannon, The 120 is of course the primary weapon. Tanks are direct fire long range weapons which means you have to put the cross hairs on the target and has Max effective range of about 3500 meters although they can reach out farther. Civilians don’t need these mainly because they are not practical for self-defense. Tankers carry M16’s and 9 mm for that. Should the populace rise up to a tyrannical government we will acquire tanks and other equipment through the soldiers who defect. Believe me they will.

We left your country to get away from your types Piers Morgan so why did you follow us over here with your same old stupid ideas.Please go home, ask England if you can return because they are everything you are dreaming of allready. " When guns are outlawed I will become an outlaw". I quoted me. And My argument for large ammo clips is that they might become necessary in defense against tyrannical challenges to America

Frank Cinotto

Dana, Pierce is a scholar on it cause his brother is in the British Army. Shit most officer only carry a 9mm pistol but Pierce is a know it all. I spent 38 months in Iraq and 99% of the officers and senior NCO's carry a side arm as a rule. I got more time working on firearms than his brother and I was in the Navy. They need to send him back to the UK. Oh wait, they want to question him for some stuff I think the phone taps that have been in the news forever. He should clean up his own backyard before he try's to tell us what to do. I say send the ASS home.

Why in the hell do people try to have a discussion with this moron? He puts words in peoples mouths and talks over everyone that he doesn't agree with. He is British which in my mind means has no right to even be having this conversation. He brings these people on his show to exploit them and push his own agenda because his ratings are higher than they've ever been. STOP GOING ON HIS SHOW AND HE WILL GO AWAY.

Before he goes away, I want David Barton of wallbuilders, to educate Piers on the Second Amendment. I want to see Piers purse his lips tightly into that sour grapes look when Barton is through with him- That is my wish I am putting out into the universe- please answer my request

Piers is nothing but a big mouthed wanker. He asks a question but will not SHUT UP and let others answer, he puts words in their mouths. Then has the audacity to wad paper up and throw a tantrum like a spoiled twit because others don't agree with his views but it's ok for him to not agree to other people's views. Pompas-Ass

Deport Piers Morgan. Period. A right is a right and does not have to be proven as a need to anyone. It is nothing short of arrogant to think that we, as Americans, must prove a need for a right. It's a right and it doesn't matter who thinks we need it or not--we have it and we aren't willing to give it up. Period. We don't care if Piers thinks we need it or not, we have it and we're keeping it. End of discussion!

Why does anyone need a mansion? Why does anyone need a Mercedes? Why does anyone need more than 2000 calories a day? Why do we need resorts?

There are all sorts of things we don't actually need. However, firearms are specifically enumerated, in the Bill Of Rights with the ending most prevalent "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED."

Mr. Morgan, I assume, has enough understanding of the language to understand the meaning, or did he attend the same schools as Obama, Biden, Fienstein etc.?

Someone debating with Piers Morgan needs to point out that the British Army had muskets, and the citizens fighting against them had muskets. The 2nd Amendment did not limit them to pistols or bows and arrows, it expected them to have and use the same weapons that the government had. How could he argue against that? It would also put him into a face saving mode because he lost the war (well, not him,but those who had the same guns that we did).

Cynical Mike
Cynical Mike

I thought the best line in the entire (useless) interview was when Dana said that the previous assault weapon bill banned the AR-15 because it's "scary looking". To me, that's the crux of the matter, and it's what most people are talking about when they say "assault weapon". They should just change their adopted terminology to "scary-looking" weapon and use that from now on, as it can easily have the same cloudy definitions but is much more to the point.

There are no guns for sale in gun stores that can shoot 100 rds in a minute, all guns are one shot at a time or semi-automatic. The guns are only as fast as you can pull the trigger. Machine guns that shoot rapid or combat have been outlawed since the 1930's. What you anti-gun people call assualt rifles are nothing but a one shot at a time rifles. It only looks bad because they look like there ready for combat. If people would stop and take a minute and realize that these so called assualt rifles are not rapid repeaters than maybe there wouldn't be all this banning.

Morgan cannot allow anyone to speak. He cannot stop himself from shouting instead of listening after he asks a question. He interrupts people before they get three words out. If CNN had some real commentators who are not overwhelmed with themselves it would be a miracle.

I grew up in awe of a British accent>

The most sophisticated on screen stars, every Roman Emperor and the most fearsome of NAZI Generals had a British accent.

Whenever Cornell Wilde, on an African adventure or trapped on a WWII Pacific island with a hundred rabid Japanese soldiers met a fellow with a British accent, I knew that he met a friend. Anytime you heard David Nivens voice, you knew you were hearing from an ally, someone you could trust.

Since the advent of Piers Morgan and his communist/socialist flap, the British accent has begun to grate on my ears. Probably about time we began to despise the British for what they are today. (colluseum excepted, of course...)

Jaels_Song

There are still good Conservative Brits. At least the Brits have the good sense to create a petition to keep Pier's from returning. I share a great sense of kinship with the few Brit friends that I do have. I just love them, their humor, history, and our many commonalities. I did not know that Colluseum was Brit, makes me love him that much more. =)

I don't like painting any people with a broad brush and I had Brit friends too. My po9int was about the "Historical and Cultural Credibility," the true wealth of the language which has been squandered by this "pasty-faced, silly, nincompoop and the British accent he simply cannot seem to loose."

He's typical of the immigrant who wants everything America has to offer, but he doesn't think he needs to sacrifice anything to get it Millions of dead Americans have already paid the price for this stupid, rump fed- British lap dog. You know, like Muslims. American immigrant should be kept on Ellis Island or under a freeway in Florida for 2 years before letting them in the country.
