Rejected petition Keep Piers Morgan in America

More details

American Media are reporting "A petition calling for Piers Morgan to be deported from the US following his outspoken comments on gun control has attracted more than 31,000 signatures".

Morgan provoked the fury when he interviewed Gun Owners of America executive director Larry Pratt, in the wake of the school shootings in Newtown, Connecticut, and said to him: "You're an unbelievably stupid man, aren't you?

"You have absolutely no coherent argument. You don't actually give a damn about the gun murder rate in America."

More than 31,600 people have signed the petition, which hit the 25,000-signature threshold to get a White House response.

Calling on all British people to respond appropriately and flood this petition with more signatures than the Americans raise to deport him

Besides the obvious benefits to Great Britain keeping Piers Morgan in America is a way that we Brits can make clears our feelings regarding gun laws in America.
