CCRKBA To Piers Morgan, ‘Your Plane Is Waiting, Get Going’
CCRKBA To Piers Morgan, ‘Your Plane Is Waiting, Get Going’

BELLEVUE, WA – -(Ammoland.com)- Late last year, CNN’s Piers Morgan threatened to “deport” himself if the United States did not dramatically change its gun laws, and this morning, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms suggested that he pack his bags.
“Piers Morgan has made a habit of demonizing and insulting American gun owners,” CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb observed. “If he so dislikes the people who call this nation home, a nation that has twice rescued Great Britain and the world from war, then perhaps it is time for him to make good on his threat. There are flights leaving daily.”
Morgan professed in December that he loves the United States “as a second home and one that has treated me incredibly well.” He told the London Daily Mail that he is the victim of an “ongoing war of verbal attrition in America” due to the gun rights debate. At the time, he suggested part of his problem is that he is British, “a breed of human being who burned down the White House in 1814 and had to be forcefully deported en masse.”
“This Friday,” Gottlieb noted, “is the 238th anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord; the day in 1775 that the government sent troops to disarm the colonial militia. It was the first time on our soil that the government tried to enforce gun control and it did not work out too well for Mr. Morgan’s ancestors. Like the Redcoats of old, he wants to take modern sporting rifles and pistols away from today’s American citizens.
“Our forefathers sent a message to the British that day, that tyranny is not welcome on these shores,” he added. “Morgan’s on-air demagoguery towards gun owners is a different type of tyranny, but it is no less unwelcome.
“Face it,” Gottlieb said. “I have more guns than Morgan has viewers. And guess what? I bet his viewers have killed more people than my guns!
“Piers Morgan, in our ‘Yank’ vernacular, ‘ain’t from around here’,” Gottlieb concluded, “and has no business dictating how we should live. This country’s armed citizens came to his country’s aid twice in the past century, and a lot of them died to protect Mr. Morgan’s freedom. Since he voluntarily hinted at it last December, Morgan should take this opportunity to butt out.”
With more than 650,000 members and supporters nationwide, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is one of the nation’s premier gun rights organizations. As a non-profit organization, the Citizens Committee is dedicated to preserving firearms freedoms through active lobbying of elected officials and facilitating grass-roots organization of gun rights activists in local communities throughout the United States. The Citizens Committee can be reached by phone at (425) 454-4911, on the Internet at www.ccrkba.org or by email to [email protected].
