    I think Morgan's style of journalism would be right at home in North Korea. The land where unicorns are real and food is imaginary.

Almost as awkward a photo-op as when Piers Morgan shot the AR-15s in the heavily edited segment of his CNN show.
    Didn't know it was a fake, but then again, much of what the media says shouldn't be trusted as factual.

    Please don't make us keep him, he's no more welcome here than the Bird Flu.

    I was going to add that I can't think of a country that I dislike enough to deport Piers Morgan there, but North Korea might be an option...

    I'd just like to add a thank you to all for the level-headedness of this discussion. Too often I've seen and heard those around me and those especially in the media here go off on emotional tirades and lose sight of the overall issue. You guys are great.

    OakAshandThorn, I'm glad to hear your perspective on the subject too, knowing you're from Connecticut. Thanks for sharing.

    I always love sharing my viewpoints .

    I'd also like to thank all of you here, regardless of whether or not we agree with each other - this is one of the few places where we can engage in a conversation like this without fear of ridicule and bad-mouthing. Few people are as respectful as the folks here .

    No, not saying it was a fake, just saying it was a staged photo op for him to show he's not totally against recreational gun use.
