Piers Morgan in an interview with Penn Jillette admits that maybe the " gun nuts" are right about a tyrannical government. :shock:

Wow. I am simply amazed. I never thought that Piers Morgan of all people would say something like that. I did note however that he called it "vaguely" tyrannical. To me it is way over the top, never should have happened, throw someone under the jail tyrannical...

At least he is maybe seeing the other side of the coin, even if he doesn't agree with it....

His time in the sun from the gun debate has moved to the shade so he is fishing for another way to grab the camera is my thought.

He is judging it by his Brit standards.

:iagree:
The government needs to concentrate on eliminating the parts of the Constitution that Mr. Morgan disagrees with while throwing their gleeful support behind the parts he believes are sacred. Not that complicated. :roll:
When will these types of people understand you either support the Constitution or you don't? There is no picking and choosing. Obama and his administration don't seem to support any part of it, including Mr. Morgan's precious freedom of the press.

When they came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.



I guess ole Piers is getting a little taste.

Pffft.
With Morgan, I absolutely agree with you. But many people (not Morgan) suddenly see the "light" when their pet issues get attacked. Try to take away the 15th & 19th Amendments and you'll see a LOT more women and blacks excerizing their 2nd Amendment rights.

ETA: Perhaps I was just raised wrong (or, rather, Right :evil2: ), but it amazes me that the majority of people don't realize that the 2nd is the ONLY effective means of protecting all your other rights.

Among freedom of speech, of the press, of religion, of assembly, of redress of grievances, it is the first among equals. It alone offers the absolute capacity to live without fear. The right to keep and bear arms is the one right that allows "rights" to exist at all.
