Theatrical interview. Notice how PM was just sitting there waiting for this guy to explode. It was all according to plan. They knew the guy would flip.

The guy was a dupe and in no way represented the comportment of the majority of legal gun owners.
He had no media experience and no ability to communicate. His inadequacy in that regard in no way dimminishes his defense of private firearm ownership. The producers did make him an excellent fool for their cause.

Turn the tables an invite jimmy hoffa jr and prod him to reapaet his 'call to arms'.. "to take out those sobs".

Yep, if an American crirticized English law as PR did American law, he would be considered and 'ugly American'. Look at the criticism MR got when he criticized the Olympic game safety net.

Deport PM!
But the points that kook made are being made every day by gun lovers on these forums --- so apparently he IS representative of many gun owners who seem to me to be childish emotional fearful self-righteous fools.

The most troubling thing I learned from watching the videos is that suicide is now the number one cause of death in the United States.

So Alex Jones is actually a disinfo troll paid by the government to make anyone who suspects Orwellian conspiracies seem crazy? How else can you explain his obviously over-the-top behavior?

You like conspiracy theories much? Morgan had Alex Jones on because he was the one who started the petition to have Morgan deported claiming it was needed to protect gun rights. FACT.

Alex Jones apparently uses info gleaned from the Internet to try to support his agenda, so who knows what kind of misinfo he's going to bring up?

In your opinion, do you think Alex Jones should not possess fire arms?

Adjusted to be proportional to population that would be a rate of 0.00000056 gun killings per person in the UK vs 0.00034375 per person in the US or ~614 times the gun murder rate. It's still pretty damn bad.

Don't you people ever get tired of getting caught in your lies? Gun owners have never been so united to stand up for our rights, and sales are thru the roof. You've destroyed every other protection we have under the Constitution, we are damn well keeping this one.
This is how you make everyone more safe from bad guys.
