Piers Morgan Shocked By
‘UnbelievablePower’ After
Firing Assault Rifles At
Texas Gun Range

Mediaite, by Matt Wilstein

Original Article

Posted By:JoniTx, 2/5/2013 10:46:52 AM

President Obama recently proved that he shoots skeet, and now Piers Morgan can say he’s shot an AR-15. Morgan traveled to Texas today to find out what it’s like to shoot the gun “used in the last five mass shootings in America,” including Sandy Hook Elementary School. Morgan interviewed the owner of a Houston gun range, as he took his turns firing various version of the AR-15 semi-automatic rifle with a 30-round magazine. His aim wasn’t perfect, but as Morgan said, “once I got the hang of it and began pressing the trigger faster and faster, it was

The .223 rifle is NOT an unbelievable power. To an effeminate Englishman, any rifle would be "unbelievable."

How often has Piers Morgan shot a rifle, or has he ever shot a rifle before? If he has ever shot a rifle was it other than a 22 at Coney Island?

I have to assume the range owner had the special paperwork and license to own a fully automatic AR-15. However IF Morgan broke ANY gun laws with this stunt, by all means prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.

Inherent to the question of ´why would any civilian want one of these,´ is the assumption that sooner or later that civilian will commit a crime and therefore should be denied the ability to legally own whatever it is the leftist is talking about. Of course for toads like Morgan everyone IS guilty until they prove they are innocent, a byproduct of being a subject under the thumb of some halfarsed King. Over here we used to have a thing called personal responsibility and then if you committed a crime, you did the time. No excuses. Now it is all pre-crime, Orwell world.

It is not legal to buy full auto trigger parts or an drop-in auto sear unless it´s registered (prior to 1986), and you go through a 6-month background check, wait and pay about $10,000+ for the sear alone.

Again another lie. The only guns used at Sandy Hook school were the 4 handguns. The AR15 was found in the car, yet the media perpetuates the lie.

Unbelievable power from an AR-15? Try my Garand or M1A some time.

Oh wait, that´s right. They were stolen. I no longer have them, or any other firearm. No ammo either.

An AR-15, is the civilian, semi-automatic version, of he mliitary M-16. An AR-15 is essentially a high capacity ugly varmit rifle.

I wish they had him on video firing some semi-auto "Fudd" guns in .30-06, .308 caliber.

Better yet, They should have given him a (bolt-action) Mosin-Nagant carbine to shoot, belching fire and likely having Piers crying "no mas" and rubbing his shoulder after five rounds downrange.

Perhaps then he would learn the AR-15 isn´t particularly more power than most rifles, and he would also, perhaps, have an understanding as to why it is the most popular centerfire semi-auto rifle in the country.

Unfortunately, many who would foist these usurpations upon us have never owned or fired a rifle. They have as much validity in determining who "should" and who "needs" a particular firearm as a person who has only rode a horse would have in determining what automobiles are best for everyone else.

Now THAT had some kick, but I gotta tell you, years back I shot a .357; old frame, no force mitigation and that had WAY more than the new frames.
Was very very surprised.

Now that you know how to use it, I suppose we should ban you from any and all school campuses. Afterall, the mere shooting of such a "powerful weapon" makes everyone who does it an official deranged nutcase. In Pier´s case, he is already an official deranged nutcase so why did they let a certifiable nutcase even shoot such a weapon?

Even as Congress prepares to debate whether to legalize 11 million illegal immigrants and give them a path to citizenship, analysts are cautioning lawmakers to focus on the other part of immigration: assimilating them fully into America. All sides in the debate agree that assimilation is critical, but in a report being released Monday, the Hudson Institute, a conservative-leaning think tank, says the country has failed on that account in recent years. They found that immigrants — even those who earn U.S. citizenship — have far less attachment to their new home than native-born Americans.

New York -Lawmakers in the US state have overwhelmingly passed a bill allowing locals to salvage meat from the carcasses of wild animals killed in road accidents. When signed into law by the governor, Montana could become "the ultimate drive-through destination for adventurous foodies", the website Huffington Post noted. Steve Lavin, the legislator who introduced the bill, said that the idea came to him as he drove the open highways of the predominantly rural state and started to count the carcasses lining the road.

President Obama lives at a time when there are two very different and very well-defined political ideologies. On the one hand, the GOP is fighting for spending contraints, limited regulation, and more personal economic choice. President Obama and his party are more determined than any administration in U.S. history to promote and execute the idea that federal government is best suited to both meet the needs of the people and run the economy. The most fascinating aspect of this yin and yang pull of ideologies is not just that they are taking place at this time in history,

WASHINGTON— President Barack Obama supports requiring girls younger than 17 to see a doctor before buying the morning-after pill. But fighting that battle in court comes with its own set of risks. A federal judge in New York on Friday ordered the Food and Drug Administration to lift age restrictions on the sale of emergency contraception, ending the requirement that buyers show proof they’re 17 or older if they want to buy it without a prescription. The ruling accused the Obama administration in no uncertain terms of letting the president’s pending re-election cloud its judgment when it

Projecting madly, the White House on Sunday pushed the notion that Republican intransigence is the reason that Democrats have been unable to pass a budget during President Obama’s tenure. “Right now,” said senior White House advisor Dan Pfeiffer on Fox News Sunday, “the approach of many Republicans, particularly the leadership in the House, is my way or the highway.” This is certainly rich coming from an administration that has failed to garner a single “yes” vote on its budget proposals for the past several years, even from members of its own party.

The president golfed with White House aides Marvin Nicholson, Joe Paulsen, and Michael Brush.

No doubt there are parents who have frank, frequent, open and easy discussions with their teens about sex. I’ve never met any. I do know parents, however, who were stunned to find their 15-year-old’s birth control pills in her pocketbook. Or who came home early to discover junior and a girl they’d never met frantically buttoning up. Or who found out — when their children were grown — what really went on when Meghan said she was sleeping over at Ashley’s. Such sobering tales of teens snookering mom and dad caused mixed emotions in me — a solidly pro-choice

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Is going gluten-free

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

Newtown killer Adam Lanza may have launched his murder spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School as an “act of revenge,” the Daily News has learned. A close friend of Lanza’s mother told The News that the troubled boy was a target of relentless bullying when he attended the Connecticut school years ago. “I think Adam felt betrayed by the school and this was his act of revenge,” said Marvin LaFontaine, a friend of Nancy Lanza’s. “Nancy told me he was being picked on at school.
