Alex Jones Confront Piers Morgan On Guns

Says Second Amendment exists to protect citizens from tyranny

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtyKofFih8Y

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has led an effort to deport CNN host Piers Morgan for backing gun control in America. To Morgan's face on Monday's show, Jones accused the host of being a "hatchet man of the New World Order" and brought up 9/11 Truth theories, brandishing a fistful of documents, and mocked Morgans' British accent.

"We did it as a way to bring attention to the fact that we have all of these foreigners, and the Russian government, the official Chinese government - Mao said political power goes out of the barrel of a gun, he killed about 80 million people because he's the only guy who had the guns."

Jones added, "The Second Amendment isn't there for duck hunting. It's there to protect us from tyrannical government and street thugs."

Politico notes the reason Jones may have been so agitated. Jones refused to remove his shoes at the Austin-Bergstrom Airport in Texas while en route to New York City. According to InfoWars.com, the website Jones founded, the radio host refused to remove his shoes "innumerable other people had not removed their shoes."

Jones has long been on the fringes of mainstream debate. He has been the center of many controversies, and has accused the US government of being involved in the Oklahoma City bombing and September 11 attacks.

Who is right about gun control?

[John_Matrix]

He's completely right about it being there to protect us from tyrants, unfortunately he's only going to do more damage than good due to his past rep.

[Keyjo]

Yes, Jones blew a chance at A meaningful, intelligent debate. Indeed, he DID do more damage than good. He made us pro Second Amendment supporters look like crazed lunatics. Jones would be scary with a gun in his hand raving on like that.

[Heavy-Fed]

@Keyjo The time for meaningful discussion is gone... it's time to defend our rights before we are left with no rights to defend!! Alex is right... you will never take our guns without a fight... and you better be carrying a gun when you come to get mine!!!!

[Keyjo]

@Heavy-Fed
I legally carry every time I leave the house (except when I ride to the gym.)
But people who act like hotheads do nothing to preserve our rights. Anyone who carries should be rational. Jones acted the opposite.

[Heavy-Fed]

@Keyjo It's because of the hotheads that you even have rights!!! If there had not been hotheads that started the American Revolution... we'd still be subjects of the Crown.

[John_Matrix]

@Heavy-Fed

Please don't compare the founding fathers to Jones. The founding fathers were passionate but still intelligent and rational. Alex Jones at best rants and makes a few good points. Mostly it's just worldwide conspiracy bullshit with circumstantial evidence at best.

[humptydumpty]

rite on alex jones!!! tell that red coat to go back to where he came from!!!

[armed_liberal]

I saw a movie where only the police and military had guns. It was called "Schindler's List".

[marine1]

@armed_liberal Jones was right, the second amendment wasn't for duck hunters, it was for the people to protect their well being. too bad his quacker had a reed missing when he made the statement.

[Lbodine K]

Actually the 2d amendment is to arm militias. It's the first phrase of the 2d amendment. The US Supreme Court forgot to read that part.

[humptydumpty]

@Lbodine good lord what is it about all the stupid people out there? you can see an ever more oppressive government out of control, crazy lunatics running around,and your kind want the law abiding citizens to disarm and just be completely defensless against the insane and the tyrants, there has to be a zombie epocolipse goin on thats all i can figure out .

[rebel4freedom]

@Lbodine The militia was made up of the able bodied men of the communities. During this time in America people were responsible for their own protection and the vast majority hunted for their food. I would be willing to bet that each and every home had at least one rifle, but more than likely several and pistols also. It was the norm for everyone to be armed and more than likely it would have been extremely unusual to find someone who was not armed!

Do you really think that after suffering what the signers of the Declaration of Independence called "absolute tyranny" at the hand of the King of Great Britain for so long and fighting and winning the war for independence from the crown that these men that put everything they owned and even their lives on the line would ever intend that the citizens NOT be armed in a way to prevent abuse of power? Perhaps you and others should read The Declaration of Independence as well as a refresher course in American history to get a better understanding of what was going on during this time in history which would give you a better idea of the context the 2nd Amendment and the whole Constitution were written under. This is one fact of the tyranny the signers from the Declaration of Independence gave against the King, "He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to civil power"! Civil power, we the people, this whole country was based upon the PEOPLE being the ones with the power! Government serves the people, the people have the God given rights and the government is to protect those rights, not take them away! The 10th amendment I think also applies and clears all this up. The right for the people to own and bear arms is nowhere PROHIBITED in the Constitution and I do not see where the government, federal or state, is given the power to deny the people the right!

To finish, you really need to open your eyes to what is going on in this country, what has been going on for years. Those that hold office have set themselves up as rulers. They pass laws that they "claim" do not apply to them. Look at insider trading, Social Security, Obamacare, to name just a few. Both parties are complicit and guilty! They do not serve the people anymore, they believe we serve them and they serve the UN, their own interests and even the global bankers. Now ask yourself this, WHY do they want to disarm law abiding citizens? If you think it is really to prevent mass shootings and lower crime, you sir are a fool. Look at Chicago for proof gun restrictions don't lower crime because the criminals will keep theirs! Also I suggest you do some real research on the shootings that are prompting this newest attack against our rights. Everyday more and more evidence is coming out that points to a false flag op. While I don't expect you or others that are inclined to believe Main Stream Media (MSM) to believe something that MSM is NOT reporting, I would think that all that an intelligent person after seeing and hearing some of these things would at least start to see that some things just don't add up & more questions need to be asked.

[RedFloppyShoes]

Piers Morgan is a British hack who hates the USA. All he does is rail on what our country is. If he hates being here, then he should find some others place to live.

The arrogance of anyone moving to a foreign land and spending their time there talking about how the new place needs to be like the old one. Any other place would disinvited us.

And they used to call us Ugly Americans.

[Keyjo]

That's not true. Morgan doesn't hate the U.S.
And an American in England would enjoy the same free speech rights as a British subject.

[scotta]

@Keyjo Is he a U.S. citizen. Sorry he is not. He sucks as a talk show host. He does not have right to talk about the. conatitiution.

[Keyjo]

@scotta
Sure he does. He may not be a citizen, but he has a visa to be and work in this country. And as such, he has the right to voice an opionion. We must defend the first amendment as vigorously as the second, and every component of the U.S. Constitution. If we can't do that, our point is moot

[frigginhell]

At this time I will point out that like Mr. Jones and yourself it is the call to expel foreigners from the soil of the homeland to defend it in the name of patriotism that has led to some of the bloodiest moments in our history on this planet. The persecution of immigrants is itself a form of tyranny. In fact, it's very often the percursor to some of the greatest atrocities ever committed by man. But why should we be worried about a man who believes he needs a gun to defend himself from a tyrannical government and dirty immigrants. Oh wait, I think you can find the answer in the question itself.
Jones is quick to throw around the new world order tool moniker. From where I stand, it seems it fits him nicely himself.

[RedFloppyShoes]

@frigginhell I would ask that you not put words in my mouth. I didn't call for him to be expelled. I said he is arrogant and should leave. I don't want foreigners to be expelled. I want people who don't want to be here to leave. Big difference.

[Keyjo]

I watched the interview, Jones was an embarrassment. Morgan was gracious enough to offer him a face to face. Jones started off well enough in the beginning and then went off on a mindless tirade. Morgan's stance reflects that of many Americans, assault rifle ban, no high capacity magazines, backgrounds, closing loopholes on gun shows. Jones agreed to the interview, but evaded the questions. He made us gun owners sound crazed and irrational. He did us no favors.

[sylehrman]

I didn't see it but it is safe to assume that Jones did poorly. He used to be an entertaining kook and has become tiresome and, worst of all, silly, but not in an entertaining way..

[Cheenoguy]

@Heavy-Fed
Have you gone completely Coulture? Keyjo simply acknowledged that many Americans agree with Piers and that Jones helps our side with his dash of crazy. Notice the phrase "us gun owners"? Nope to busy going on a rant to read?

[DrFunkenstein]

Alex Jones is a raving lunatic that believes in every conspiracy theory in existence which puts him in a great position to get the Tea Party low intelligence crowd to listen to him. Piers Morgan is an unjustified arrogant blowhard but he wiped the floor with Crazy Mcmoron in that video but of course anyone with an IQ over 95 could have done the same.

[HungryJoe87111]

Alex Jones is obviously right. What gun control zealots want Americans to believe is that the Founders crafted the 2nd Amendment solely so we, The People, could hunt and target practice. Nothing could be further from the truth. The founders distrusted strong, centralized governments. The 2nd Amendment was the "Doomsday Weapon" in case what happened in Egypt recently with President Morsi would happen here. See http://assaultweaponsbanof2013.blogspot.com for actual US Department of Justice Reports that refute the garbage that anti-gunners are putting out in D.C. and elsewhere.

[Keyjo]

But we need a cool, rational spokesperson to speak in favor of gun owners.

[browncharliea]

Could of been calmer, but right on. Just too much info in too short a time. He was escorted out and nit allowes in the third segment.

[Republican5001]

And that would be the best poll question in the history of poll questions....

EVER.

[rkyle]

A six shooter will NOT help much if we have tyranny!!

[honeybadger101]

so we should bow down to the tyrant?

[rkyle]

@honeybadger101 Not me, EVER!!! If they were to take ALL the guns I would fight with sticks and rocks til the end!!

[Cobra]

Alex Jones is a complete nutjob...wow...

[ury]

Piers has not let anyone talk in any of the previous debates. If Alex had not kicked his balls in, he would have been interrupted just like everyone else has been in previous debates. Did you see how Piers spoke to Larry Pratt of Gun Owners of America? Larry Pratt tried what you are suggesting, by being polite and employing intelligent debating skills and he got called an incredibly stupid man and interupted by this lymey bastard. This was the only way to deal with the tactics that Morgan used.

[Malitia_Man]

Alex showed not only his anger against these treasonous tyrants, but showed the anger that's in the hearts and minds of millions of patriots!!!

Yes, he did go kinda over board, but I can see how it would be easy to loose your temper while dealing with a foreign anti-Constitution/Bill of rights invader like Peirs Morgan!!!

[MissMostly]

Alex Jones is a BIT "high strung" but I agree with him 100% The "global Community" a word I hate!! Would love nothing better than to disarm every American, and Obama being a globalist himself wants exactly the same thing. Myself, I am an American and a country girl and I want to keep it that way!! In 4 years I feel we have lost our country and I hate it, and I feel that much more is closing in too fast almost to the point of where we need to do something about it, just don't know what or how.

[Roco]

Talking about Prozac? Here is a real case for it's use. I'm not against the 2nd Amendment, but this guy needs to cut back on the coffee.

[hwyangel]

LOL

[Dan_Tien]

I think that Alex Jones makes a prime example for increased funding to combat mental illness, but makes a poor spokesman for the 2nd Amendment. I question whether anyone who threatens to kill people who want to take away his favorite semi-automatic rifle the way he does should really be in possession of one.

[WilliamWallace]

I agree with Jones and I understand his passion with the topic.

[Denizen_Kate]

I agree with him on principal, but he's a detriment to like-minded people. He came off as a raving lunatic, a complete nut job with no self control. I'm glad I don't live next door to Alex Jones, and I don't want him representing my POV on the 2nd Amendment.

[jamayla]

Our government has tanks, missiles, fighter jets, bombs, and both chemical and biological weapons. I don't think the tyrants are all that afraid of Joe's rifle, but they'll let him and his buddies keep them so they are pacified. Point is, I have guns but not to protect me from a government that can wipe me out in one fell swoop if they wish. Dream on about that protection.

[WilliamWallace]

One Warriors Creed

If today is to be THE DAY, so be it.

If you seek to do battle with me this day you will receive the best that I am capable of giving.

It may not be enough, but it will be everything that I have to give and it will be impressive for I have constantly prepared myself for this day.

I have trained, drilled and rehearsed my actions so that I might have the best chance of defeating you.

I have kept myself in peak physical condition, schooled myself in the martial skills and have become proficient in the application of combat tactics.

You may defeat me, but you will pay a severe price and will be lucky to escape with your life.

You may kill me, but I am willing to die if necessary.

I do not fear Death, for I have been close enough to it on enough occasions that it no longer concerns me.

But I do fear the loss of my Honor and would rather die fighting than to have it said that I was without Courage.

So I WILL FIGHT YOU, no matter how insurmountable it may seem, and to the death if need be, in order that it may never be said of me that I was not a Warrior.

Steven R. Watt

[Dan_Tien]

@WilliamWallace I understand your position and I understand the reason for the 2nd Amendment. I understand that you are in law enforcement and I do not direct my following statements at you.

I do not think that everyone who declares themselves a warrior and a patriot really is one. I question a man who never served his country in the military or never served his country in law enforcement when he says that he needs to own any weapon available in order to defend his country from tyranny. I think that many people who front like that are simply cowards who are afraid to die and are willing to shoot anyone who threatens to take away their security blanket.

The 1st Amendment guarantees the right to freedom of speech, but it does not give anyone the right to make death threats. The 2nd Amendment grants citizens the right to keep and bear arms in order to defend themselves and to be able to act as citizen soldiers if need be, but it does not grant anyone the right to use deadly force to retain those weapons against legal authorities who are carrying out their legal duties. A firearm is only an inanimate object, and few places in the United States legally grant a citizen the right to use deadly force to retain possession of their belongings. If our government decides that certain weapons should not be available to the general public, and that decision is found to be constitutional, then anyone who uses deadly force to defy that order is not a patriot, they are a criminal.

If a person is determined to be a threat to themselves or others, they can be declared mentally ill and committed against their will. I question whether anyone who rants with such "passion" about firearms as the man in that video does and threatens to use deadly force to retain all of his weapons is mentally stable.

I also am not afraid to die. I have seen too much and lived long enough. If I was told by an officer of the law that a weapon that I owned was illegal, I would surrender it, not because I would be afraid but because it would be the right thing to do. I value the law and civilized society. I do not need a semi-automatic rifle to feel safe and secure. I certainly would not want to get into a gun battle with law enforcement to retain possession of one.

There is no firearm available in gun shops or gun shows that will allow you to successfully defeat an army that is equipped with modern military hardware. That is the point of armored vehicles, aircraft, bombs and missiles: to outgun poorly equipped and poorly organized groups of armed individuals. I am not convinced by the repeated argument that every citizen who can own a gun is doing so in order to defend themselves from a tyrannical government or one world order conspiracy. A nut with a gun is still a nut.

[Keyjo]

@Dan_Tien
Well, that was lengthly, but well stated.

[WilliamWallace]

@Dan_Tien True there are very few warriors but it has always been that way. Just know there are people who will stand up for their rights.

Just remember...

“Out of every hundred men, ten shouldn’t be there, eighty are are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back.”

[Drake_Burrwood]

@Dan_Tien
I respect the law and respect civilized society, though I realize both can be weapons in the hands of a predator with position.
I understand you choose to take a position at odds with the recorded words of those who crafted our country. Persons who both stood in rebellion and put down rebellions in turn and still spoke them.

Any group that is blinded by the glory and perfection of their position/beliefs will generate anger and simply be to blind to see. Currently there are to many who make a virtue of blindness of the cares of others. You speak calmly and with great persuasiveness but are you really seeing what matters to others.

[Waynestew]

My Canadian citizenship should be here soon. I'm preparing myself for when the you know what hits the fan and I have to get out of Dodge City. This man Jones has clearly lost his mind. I sure don't want to meet him in a dark alley. He seems awfully angry about guns that no one is trying to take away or ever could.

[WilliamWallace]

Have a nice trip. If you will not stand for your country then you do not belong here.

[Mogal]

@WilliamWallace -Um, what?
Not agreeing with Jones the nutjob=not loving ones country?
Really?

[WilliamWallace]

@Mogal let me spell it out for you. I was referring to the first part of the post.

"My Canadian citizenship should be here soon. I'm preparing myself for when the you know what hits the fan and I have to get out of Dodge City."

[Mogal]

@WilliamWallace -Have a hard time recognizing a satirical comment when you see it, huh?

[WilliamWallace]

@Mogal Is that your excuse every time something goes over your head. That's at least the second time I have seen you use that.

[citizenxxx]

Honestly I think alex was just speaking from his heart, & is fed up with all the bs that our government spins, & the media exploits, its a very sick game they play

[BelinKS]

I definitely do no support Piers Morgan on gun control. Is he even an American? I don't think a person, even one with a TV show, who is not an American should be pushing his views on anyone here. I also am no Alex Jones. I am not a conspiracy theory nut. I do believe in our right to own guns.. I do think we should be able to protect ourselves with guns against thugs. Right now our govt is fringe, but not tyrinical. It would take a huge leap that I don't think could happen to be so. The thinking that our own govt was behind Oklahoma City and 9/11 is ludicrous!

[falco_alba]

Seriously? All America does is push their viewpoint on the rest of the world. Suddenly we get annoyed when someone else does the same thing? Hypocrisy at its finest.

[BelinKS]

@falco_alba
I don't. This is a person from a different country with a show on American TV. This is civilians! Not govt. I am no hypocrite! I do not tell other countries civilians how they should think. Are there American's in other countries with their own news show? I have not found one! What the government tries to push off on other governments really has nothing to do with me. Do I wish North Korea, China, Iran. Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, ect. would give there civilians more rights? Yes. Do I try to shove it down their throats? No. Why would a responsible show host have this person as a guest? To make people think that all pro-gun people are like him. Pure and simple.

[falco_alba]

@BelinKS So you're saying that our invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan and our push to make the Middle East a democratic society is not our version of Americans pushing their beliefs and ways on others? Our demands to keep N.Korea from building WMD? Our involvement in the affairs of Israel and Palestine? Hah. Like it or not, Morgan has a right to freely express his opinion. You don't have to agree but you can't unilaterally decide that he shouldn't have an opinion based on his citizenship. As for Morgan allowing this man on his show, I thought that was a classy move, considering this guy initiated the deportation petition. Morgan gave him a chance to speak and the man made a fool of himself. That wasn't Morgan's fault.

[BelinKS]

@BelinKS
I also made it clear that my view point of Morgan having this lunatic as a guest was just a move to make people who are pro-gun look like this idiot. We are not. You ignorantly replied to me with things I never said. That just makes you look ignorant! I can't even say nice try, it was to ridiculous for that.
