        • Good God that was awful. Alex Jones went crazy. I don't how how Piers Morgan was able to keep his composure that long, especially at the end when Jones started mocking his accent. That was just unnecessary. I'd like to see an actual, decent debate with two rational sides to it on the issue. I get where Morgan was coming from, as civilians don't need assault rifles for personal defense. If it stops even 100 deaths it'd be worth it. Someone isn't going to run into a movie theater with a knife and kill 30 people. Jones made some sense until he went crazy for the better part of the vid. The problem with the Gun Control debate is that both sides are inherently flawed. On the one hand, giving every American a gun, or giving everyone access to them wouldn't necessarily reduce gun deaths, especially because a huge chunk of gun deaths every year are caused my misfires and accidents. On the other, the only guns left would be the unregistered ones, which means gun-related crime would be unopposed. The problem is that controlling guns is only a part of the issue. As Piers said at the start of the video, increasing funding for psychological evaluations, and requiring a psychological analysis before purchasing a gun is the best way to prevent crazy people from getting guns. The problem is people, and giving them guns or taking them away doesn't change the people.

          • I support gun control, but watching this video kind of made me want to look into it more. Alex Jones had the statistics and facts to back himself up, but he just went crazy. If he had let Piers speak and not told him to have a boxing match he would have come over as much more reasonable. As it is he sounded like an overly macho man, who is super nationalistic and thinks violence is the answer. That is exactly how our (the UK) media want to portray the pro-gun lobbyists.

          • They cherry picked a pro gun person from the extreme end of the spectrum to paint all gun owners as the same. As ive gotten older, ive realized every media outlet concerning news is biased and manipulates its content to portray their personal agenda, its getting old. Also piers morgan is a -blam!-, they dont even want him back in his own country.

            Arguing with Piers Morgan is like arguing with a wall. You can talk to it all day but it will never say anything different back.

              • The pro gun speaker should have held himself together more, but he's right. Morgon did nothing but resort to asking preconceived questions to get his point across that bare little relevance to actual gun issues.

                          In a country full of crazy people with guns I can't believe no-one's shot Piers Morgan yet. Come on America, do the world a favour for once!

                          • Alex Jones is the real lunatic here IMO. Although Morgan is apparently disliked heavily, I even know some very anti-gun people who think he's OTT.

                            • I'm glad Jeremy Clarkson punched this pompous douchbag in the face. Despite all the reason and logic that gun advocates use against Morgan, he simply waives it off and calls his guests morons.

                            • I laugh at this because pretty much nobody in his home country takes any notice of him anymore. He's America's problem now. Enjoy it boys.
