Goodbye, Piers

Piers Morgan signed off on his last CNN broadcast tonight. He didn’t skimp on the melodrama.

But that’s where guns belong — on a military battlefield, in the hands of highly trained men and women fighting for democracy and freedom. Not in the hands of civilians. The scourge of gun violence is a disease that now infects every aspect of American life.

At least he finally came out and said it.

The gun lobby in America, led by the NRA, has bullied this nation’s politicians into cowardly, supine silence. Even when 20 young children are blown away in their classrooms.

I’d respond that we did no such thing. We opposed broken and ineffective regulations that, by the admission of the people promoting them, would have done nothing to stop another mass shooting.

Ah, but why bother? He’s going back across the Atlantic, and he can be their problem. Let’s hope he keeps that cricket bat handy.
