Tragedies have struck again and again, with women and young students being killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut; at Columbine High School in Columbine, Colorado; and elsewhere. The loss of these lives was senseless and unfathomable; and enormous pain and shock waves have been visited upon our great nation. Advocates of gun control believe it is the solution. However, the killer at Sandy Hook used his mother’s weapons; and she apparently knew that his mental health issues were a potential powder keg, but she could not stop him and he killed her too. Also, at essentially the same time as the Sandy Hook killings, 22 children and one adult were injured by a knife-wielding man outside a primary school in central China as students were arriving for classes.[2]
Guns do not kill; people do. Criminals and wackos can get their hands on guns and other weapons and commit violence, and there is nothing that can be done to prevent them—except to stop the crimes before they are committed, owing to mental health treatment, better intelligence and law enforcement. These are violent times, which will only get much worse between now and the end of this decade; and lots of innocent people will suffer globally.[3] However, such killings must be placed in perspective: abortions and auto accidents kill far more in America than guns do. Indeed, there is no comparison. Also, the FBI has reported that all homicides committed using firearms have been declining.[4]
The Second Amendment to our Constitution states in pertinent part:
[T]he right of the people to keep and bear arms [] shall not be infringed.[5]
It is part of the American culture, which is protected; and the Constitution will not be changed in this regard. Indeed, gun sales have been rising because Americans want the ability to defend themselves as crime increases in our country, which will only get worse as the budgets of law enforcement decline during the balance of this decade.
Also, violence is glorified on TV and in films worldwide. If Americans truly want to reduce or eliminate violence (e.g., “copycat” murders), the depiction of violence should be banned. It instills the wrong values in the kids of this world. And there is no question that Hollywood promotes and glorifies violence.
America’s resident, angry Narcissistic Brit, Piers Morgan, has been trying to change our culture—which he does not understand—by crusading for gun control, despite the low ratings of his CNN talk show, which replaced the legendary, unflappable Larry King. Hopefully Morgan returns permanently to the UK as soon as possible, and stops “preaching” in our country.[6]
As American lawyer, conservative social and political commentator Ann Coulter has noted:
Only one public policy has ever been shown to reduce the death rate from [multiple-victim shootings]: concealed-carry laws.
The effect of concealed-carry laws in deterring mass public shootings was even greater than the impact of such laws on the murder rate generally.
Someone planning to commit a single murder in a concealed-carry state only has to weigh the odds of one person being armed. But a criminal planning to commit murder in a public place has to worry that anyone in the entire area might have a gun.[7]
On a personal note, I was a U.S. Army Infantry Officer during the Vietnam War, and I was trained with guns and know how to use them. However, I gave away my father’s duck-hunting weapons, and do not like the idea of any weapons being around. Accidents can and do happen. However, I understand why so many Americans want them for hunting, and for their own protection.
Lastly, it bears repeating: abortions and auto accidents kill far more than guns do in the United States. Abortions should be banned, and auto accidents should be curbed, if Americans and others truly want to deal with deaths instead of merely spouting rhetoric as Piers Morgan does.

By comparison, it has been reported:
[T]he most recent data suggests gun violence is declining in the United States.
The number of homicides committed using firearms dropped from 2006 to 2010, according the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report.
In 2010, 8,775 homicides using firearms were reported to the FBI. In 2006, 10,225 homicides using firearms were reported to the FBI.

As a lawyer-friend of mine commented, after reading and recommending Coulter’s article:
I think one of the jurisdictions that is pretty satisfied with concealed carry laws is [the District of Columbia, or Washington, D.C.], where a lot of the minority women carry weapons when they live in unsafe areas.
. . .
The bad guys aren’t as likely to bother them as they were before many of them started carrying.
I agree with you 100 percent Timothy. Nothing to add…

The Roots Of Mass Murder
In a Washington Post article by this title written by Charles Krauthammer, he states:
See http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/charles-krauthammer-the-roots-of-mass-murder/2012/12/20/e4d99594-4ae3-11e2-b709-667035ff9029_story.html; see also http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/general_politics/december_2012/55_favor_assault_weapons_ban_but_62_oppose_complete_gun_ban (“55% [Of Americans] Favor Assault Weapons Ban, But 62% Oppose Complete Gun Ban”) and http://nbcpolitics.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/12/21/16069537-nra-blames-media-music-and-more-for-culture-of-violence?lite (“NRA blames media, music and more for culture of violence”) and http://cnsnews.com/blog/gregory-gwyn-williams-jr/bank-america-freezes-gun-manufacturers-account-company-owner-claims (“Bank of America Freezes Gun Manufacturer’s Account, Company Owner Claims”)
Sign The Petition To Deport Angry, Narcissistic, Un-American Brit, Piers Morgan
As cited in my article above, limey Morgan has made outrageous statements in this country. A petition is being circulated to deport him, and it should be signed.
See https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/deport-british-citizen-piers-morgan-attacking-2nd-amendment/prfh5zHD (“WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO: Deport British Citizen Piers Morgan for Attacking 2nd Amendment“); see also http://www.examiner.com/article/cnn-s-piers-morgan-upset-over-white-house-petition-calling-for-his-deportation and http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2012/12/white-house-petition-to-deport-piers-morgan.html (“If the petition gets [25,000] signatures by January 20, then the White House will have to issue a response about whether or not it plans to act on the request”) and http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2012/12/despite-conservative-support-petition-deport-piers-morgan-still-doesnt-have-enough-signatures/60280/
As Wall Street Journal columnist James Taranto has noted:
See https://twitter.com/jamestaranto/status/282720825944190976; see also http://dailycaller.com/2012/12/23/wall-street-journal-columnist-explains-how-to-deport-piers-morgan/ (“Wall Street Journal columnist explains on Twitter how to deport Piers Morgan”)
As authority, Taranto cited the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Kleindienst v. Mandel, 408 U.S. 753 (1972), which held:
See http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=us&vol=408&invol=753
Thus, Morgan can and should be deported, inter alia, to deal with his involvement in the phone hacking scandal in the UK.
See http://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/press/cnn-increasingly-twitchy-over-piers-morgans-tabloid-past-as-phone-hacking-scandal-spreads-to-daily-mirror-8223424.html (“CNN increasingly twitchy over Piers Morgan’s tabloid past as phone hacking scandal spreads to Daily Mirror”) and http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2012/10/piers-morgan-phone-hacking-scandal-new-charges (“CNN’s Piers Morgan Caught Up In New Phone Hacking Scandal Charges”—”Morgan is facing questions—serious questions—as England’s phone hacking scandal is spreading with four more people filing lawsuits. One of those suits was filed against the Daily Mirror and covers the time when Morgan was the editor. . . . With Morgan now ‘in the crosshairs’ (as the uber-popular Drudge Report headlined it), questions will surface about CNN’s support for the man who replaced Larry King“)
. . .
As I have written in my article above:
Also, in reflecting on these gun issues, I have recalled my revulsion as a kid when a friend of mine who lived up the street—whose mother was an Academy Award-winning actress—was shot in the leg with a Daisy BB gun by a boy from whom he had stolen newspapers as a childish prank, which were to be delivered as part of the boy’s “paper route.”
See http://www.daisy.com/
I am not a right-wing “pro-gun activist,” nor a Republican or Tea Party member, but I have signed the petition to deport Morgan and I have urged others to do so.
. . .
Even though the 25,000 signature goal was met on December 23, 2012, well ahead of the deadline to collect such signatures by January 20, 2013—and only 2 days after the petition was launched—the more signatures on the White House petition to deport Morgan, the better. Thus, please keep signing it.
See https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/deport-british-citizen-piers-morgan-attacking-2nd-amendment/prfh5zHD?utm_source=wh.gov&utm_medium=shorturl&utm_campaign=shorturl and http://news.sky.com/story/1029589/piers-morgan-thousands-want-him-deported (“Piers Morgan: Thousands Want Him Deported”) and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h282C3ta3mg (Despite being in bed with a cold just before appearing on his TV show, Ann Coulter ridiculed Piers Morgan as being a “sexist, misogynist pig”) and http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/12/23/School-Obama-s-Daughters-Attend-Has-11-Armed-Guards-Not-Counting-Secret-Service (“School Obama’s Daughters Attend Has 11 Armed-Guards Not Counting Secret Service“) and http://www.forbes.com/sites/timworstall/2012/12/25/on-deporting-piers-morgan-but-we-dont-want-him-back/ (Comment by John Powell at Forbes: “I lived in England from 1996 to 2006 and as Editor of the Daily Mirror, Piers Morgan pandered to Anti Americanism in every way. He was instrumental in whipping up hatred against America“)
. . .
How did Piers Morgan get a “green card” to work in the United States to begin with? Did he have an essential skill that no American had? Green cards are not handed out freely, much less to all foreigners. And presumably he did not cross our border with Mexico illegally. Thus, he may have been illegal from “day one,” based on the green card issue alone.
See http://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2010/07/30/illegal-immigration-the-solution-is-simple/ (“Illegal Immigration: The Solution Is Simple”)
. . .
Morgan has tweeted:
There is a petition being circulated and addressed to the UK’s Home Secretary, Theresa May, which states:
The caption accompanying the petition adds:
See https://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/uk-government-stop-piers-morgan-from-being-deported-back-to-the-uk-from-america?utm_campaign=twitter_link&utm_medium=twitter&ut; see also http://www.prisonplanet.com/brits-petition-government-we-dont-want-piers-morgan-back.html (“Brits Petition Government: We Don’t Want Piers Morgan Back“)
. . .
At the very least:
CNN SHOULD BE BOYCOTTED UNTIL PIERS MORGAN IS TERMINATED!
Call CNN directly and voice your complaints against him: 404-827-1500. Hopefully incoming CNN Worldwide President Jeff Zucker’s first official act will be to terminate Morgan.
See also http://www.sacbee.com/2012/12/27/5079151/california-gun-sales-increase.html (“California gun sales jump; gun injuries, deaths fall“)
The 18th century called. It wants its pitchforks back.
I’m afraid your article is far less logical than you think. You follow your description of the attacks in China with “Guns do not kill; people do”. A complete non-sequitur. In China, 23 people were injured by a mentally-ill man on a rampage. They all survived. At Sandy Hook, 27 were killed.
Guns don’t kill – but certain guns make killing large numbers of people in short periods of time a good deal easier than any other widely-available product. Even if you suppose it inevitable that murderous rampages by the mentally ill will occur, why allow each one to be so tragically deadly?
I have several objections to other arguments you make, but little time right now to detail them – so I will conclude by mentioning that the UK and Australia, in particular, responded to school gun massacres with gun control laws – and they worked. The claim above that the Pennsylvania study found that the Assault Weapons Ban “did not work” is simply false – it found instead that there was no statistically-significant effect. If you do not understand the distinction, you should read up on it – it’s rather important.
Thank you, James, for your comments.
With respect to your first paragraph, mention of the attack in China was made to juxtapose various types of mass attacks, regardless of the weapon used. Then, there is a new paragraph that follows.
Clearly, people can be killed or injured in a variety of ways, not limited to guns—much less assault weapons. Indeed, dirty bombs or other devices may be the weapons of choice in the future, not guns at all.
Second, I assume you are in the UK. Unfortunately, Brits have almost zero understanding of what the U.S. Constitution says, which is discussed in my article and comments above. The last thing we need is Brits, like Piers Morgan, telling us what to do and “preaching” about it. Frankly, it is repugnant—and I am being kind when I use that word.
Third, Charles Krauthammer of the Washington Post mentioned the Pennsylvania study in his article. I simply cited him.
100,000-Plus Signatures Obtained To Deport Un-American Brit, Piers Morgan
More than 100,000 signatures have been obtained, well ahead of the deadline to collect 25,000 signatures by January 20, 2013. The more signatures on the White House petition to deport Morgan, the better. Thus, please keep signing it.
See https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/deport-british-citizen-piers-morgan-attacking-2nd-amendment/prfh5zHD (“WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO: Deport British Citizen Piers Morgan for Attacking 2nd Amendment“); see also http://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2012/12/20/abortions-and-autos-kill-more-in-america-than-guns/#comment-2347
Never forget what one American has said about Morgan at Forbes:
Also, please remember:
CNN SHOULD BE BOYCOTTED UNTIL PIERS MORGAN IS TERMINATED!
Call CNN directly and voice your complaints against him: 404-827-1500. Hopefully incoming CNN Worldwide President Jeff Zucker’s first official act will be to terminate Morgan.
Love it. I am calling CNN.
The Ridiculous White House Response Never Mentions Morgan!
The Obama White House has arbitrarily cut off signatures on the petition to deport CNN’s anti-American Piers Morgan at 109,334, before the January 20, 2013 deadline; and it has provided a ridiculous “generic” response about gun issues that never even mentions Morgan, which makes a mockery of the entire petition process. Morgan is a Brit, not an American!
See http://www.naegele.com/documents/DeportBritishCitizenPiersMorganforAttacking2ndAmendment.pdf (the actual Web page, minus a self-serving photo of Obama); see also https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/deport-british-citizen-piers-morgan-attacking-2nd-amendment/prfh5zHD and http://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2012/12/20/abortions-and-autos-kill-more-in-america-than-guns/#comment-2347 and http://dailycaller.com/2013/01/09/white-house-is-wrong-first-amendment-doesnt-protect-piers-morgan-from-deportation/ (“White House is wrong: First Amendment doesn’t protect Piers Morgan from deportation”)
. . .
Moreover, as Matt Drudge headlined above, Vice President Joe Biden has revealed that Obama might use an executive order to deal with guns—the U.S. Constitution be damned!
See http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/biden-obama-might-use-executive-order-deal-guns_694984.html
This is totally consistent with Barack Obama’s flawed character!
See, e.g., http://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2009/12/05/is-barack-obama-a-racist/
The Fury Is Building
American lawyer, author, conservative commentator, and the host of his syndicated radio show, Mark Levin, may have said it best: “I can barely contain my fury about what’s going on in this country.”
He added:
See http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2013/01/11/levin_i_can_barely_contain_my_fury_at_what_is_going_on_in_this_country.html; see also http://news.usni.org/2013/02/08/navy-lincoln-refueling-delayed-will-hurt-carrier-readiness (NAVY UNABLE TO REFUEL CARRIER DUE TO BUDGET CUTS)
Impeach Obama efforts are underway!
It is time to stop the media in its tracks, by boycotting their advertisers nationally with a website & t.v. program that explains the reasons why. Kardashians, move over, a real program may be coming…..
Thank you, Jim, for your comments.
Apart from boycotting advertisers, whole networks can and should be boycotted, such as CNN. The advertisers are apt to flee as the number of viewers fall.
Indeed, CNN is already in last place, and Piers Morgan’s show is hanging by a thread in terms of viewership.
Another “bullseye” for Timothy!
GUNS DON’T KILL PEOPLE, MENTALLY ILL DO
This is the title of a new article by American lawyer, conservative social and political commentator Ann Coulter—who is also quoted in my article above—which is worth reading, and states in pertinent part:
See http://www.humanevents.com/2013/01/16/ann-coulter-guns-dont-kill-people-the-mentally-ill-do/; see also http://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2012/12/20/abortions-and-autos-kill-more-in-america-than-guns and http://www.infowars.com/other-tyrants-who-have-used-children-as-props/ (“Other Tyrants [Like Obama] Who Have Used Children As Props“)
CNN’s Un-American, Evil-Brit, Piers Morgan, Is Dead Last!
CNN SHOULD BE BOYCOTTED UNTIL PIERS MORGAN IS TERMINATED!
Again, please call CNN directly and voice your complaints against him: 404-827-1500; and tell them that CNN will be boycotted if CNN Worldwide President Jeff Zucker refuses to terminate Morgan immediately.
See http://www.politico.com//blogs/media/2013/01/cnn-president-jeff-zucker-backs-piers-morgans-gun-154272.html (“CNN President Jeff Zucker backs Piers Morgan’s gun control campaign“); see also http://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2012/12/20/abortions-and-autos-kill-more-in-america-than-guns/#comment-2347 and http://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2012/12/20/abortions-and-autos-kill-more-in-america-than-guns/#comment-2392 and http://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2012/12/20/abortions-and-autos-kill-more-in-america-than-guns/#comment-2424 and http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2013/02/06/dick_morris_addresses_wrong_2012_predictions_in_interview_with_piers_morgan.html (Piers Morgan has Dick Morris on show to ridicule him and FOX)
There is no concealed carry in the District of Columbia; registered handguns are permitted within private homes (with trigger locks, in gun safes or disassembled). There is concealed carry in Virginia.
Retailers in high-crime areas have had ‘unofficial’ firearms on-premises in the District in the past; this was routinely overlooked by Metropolitan Police.
The 2d Amendment is irrelevant as it specifically allows what is not prohibited elsewhere. Firearms are a legal good, generally; they are no different from similar machines capable of great damage (gas pipelines, passenger-carrying ships and vessels) and should be treated the same.
The 2d Amendment gives interested 3d parties means to appoint themselves as special ‘defenders of the Constitution’ in ways that are un- or anti-Constitutional: for example, it empowers insurrectionists up to the point of insurrection.
Like the other Amendments, the 2d can be repealed (as was the 18th) or subject to modification (the 5th by the 14th).
Firearms should be treated no differently than jet airliners or transit buses. If you are going to drive one, you better know what you’re about and someone responsible has to sign off on you.
Thank you, Steve, for your comments, which I am sure many will find interesting and thoughtful.
As stated in my article above:
See n.7; but see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concealed_carry_in_the_United_States#No-Issue (“Illinois and the District of Columbia are No-Issue jurisdictions by law, and forbid both open and concealed carry except under a very limited set of circumstances. . . . The District of Columbia recently lost a Supreme Court case relating to restrictions on ownership and possession of firearms (District of Columbia v Heller), however, the case did not specifically address the question of public carry, either open or concealed”)
Also, you have stated:
If true, this interpretation would make our Constitution subservient to laws passed by Congress and the State legislatures, or decisions of our courts, instead of the other way around.
For example, a State or local jurisdiction could prohibit equal rights for African-Americans or other minority groups; and based on the interpretation cited, our Constitution would be “irrelevant.”
I respectfully disagree.
When Will Obama Fall?
In an article entitled, “With Plea Deal, Jesse Jackson Jr.’s Fall From Grace Seems Complete,” Newsweek‘s John Avlon writes:
See http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/02/08/with-plea-deal-jesse-jackson-jr-s-fall-from-grace-seems-complete.html; see also http://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2010/12/03/barack-obama-is-a-lame-duck-president-who-will-not-be-reelected/#comment-2315 (“Will Obama ‘Unravel’ Like Nixon Did?”) and http://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2010/09/24/washington-is-sick-and-the-american-people-know-it/ (“Washington Is Sick And The American People Know It”)
Barack Obama is an integral part of the same corrupt Chicago culture.
See, e.g., http://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2009/12/05/is-barack-obama-a-racist/; see also http://www.humanevents.com/2013/03/07/coulter-maybe-republicans-should-try-being-popular/ (“Instead of proposing serious reforms, the Democrats play politics by demonizing responsible gun owners and the Republicans who defend them“) and http://www.politico.com/story/2013/03/how-white-house-quieted-gun-control-groups-88546.html (“How the White House silenced gun control groups“) and http://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2013/03/01/is-obama-the-new-nixon/
When will the Obama “swamp” be drained, and how complete will be his fall from grace?
[Note: This comment was submitted by "Mike" on March 4, 2013, not by Timothy D. Naegele]
You’d really benefit from a few years in the UK to see how gun control = less deaths of men, women & children.
8,775 deaths by firearms in the US per year, 87 in the UK.
Unfortunately though it isn’t so just a case of guns being legal in the US – it’s the whole American ‘whoop-ass’ culture that is hell bent on smashing and killing things for entertainment – and that is what needs to change before any gun control will have any effect.
Thank you, Mike, for your comments.
First, I have been to the UK many times. Seniors and others there have been terrorized by the yobs and hoodies, as you know if you live there.
See, e.g., http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangs_in_the_United_Kingdom
Second, America has a much different culture and history than the UK. Among other things, it is doubtful that the UK could win another war in the Falklands today, because its military is being “gutted” by David Cameron and others.
See http://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2010/09/27/the-economic-tsunami-continues-its-relentless-and-unforgiving-advance-globally/#comment-1591 (“Sun Setting On British Power”)
Also, but for the United States making the difference in World War II, Brits might be speaking German today.
Third, we do not coddle those who seek to harm or kill us. We have the right to bear arms and shoot them; and more Americans than ever are arming themselves, and rightfully so.
Fourth, Brits like Piers Morgan are not about to change our culture. He and others like him must be boycotted, banished and deported, as indicted above.
