I like how when he went down his list of mass shootings asking which guns were used he left out Columbine and Binghamton.

Worst part is that investigation on Sandy Hook is not yet finished. Original reports and even police public reports stated that the handguns were used and not the AR15, and that the AR15 was left in the trunk of the car. Of which there is media video footage of the police recovering an assault "styled" weapon from the trunk of a car at the scene. To many it looks like a Saiga semi auto shotgun and not an AR15. Until the investigation is concluded and an official report released, I'm not going to make the assumption that an AR15 was the only weapon used at Sandy Hook.

its loaded question because the answer is fairly simple. He is entitled to his opinion as much as you are. I dont get the outrage because he said something that ruffled your britches.

Its the same thing as coming into p&n and crying because maher/oreilly/rush/any mouthpiece says and taking offense.

I get so sick of the argument people dont "need" a right. Why does anybody need anything? It turns the argument on those desiring the weapon to prove why they desire it. Imagine if we asked why do you "need" free speech or right to privacy in your own home? The question is designed to stomp out meaningful discussion and put the pro-gun folks immediately on the defensive with no real way out.

LOL you are a doof. Nothing about that video "ruffled my britches" as you are making an assumption to. I thought it was hilarious that Morgan actually let on someone let Shapiro he couldn't "bully" around though he tried. Nor did Shapiro give the emotional "outrage" reaction that Morgan was angling for in that show.

I made no assumption nor posted my opinion on anything with the original post. I made a link and a statement of fact about the video that Shapiro held nothing back as well as a bit of additional info that Morgan stated not shown in that video. How do you derive anything from my point of view at that video from the original post? I intentionally made the original video as unassuming as possible so that an open discussion would follow.

Listening comprehension fail.

"Standing on the graves of children." = If you disagree with me, you don't care about dead kids.

Mentioning his dead grandparents = "My grandparents died due to democracies turned tyrannical, so I support assault weapons as a check against such events."

He never accused Pierce of not caring about his dead grandparents.

Shapiro's own quote:


"The fact that my grandparents and great grandparents in europe didnt fear that (tyranny) is why they are now ASHES in Europe."

yeah...who is using dead people now eh Mr. Shapiro??

hypocrite.

I stopped watching at that point. Morgan is an idiot and Shapiro is just greasy looking...no thanks .

You can use dead people in an argument. Hell if we didn't do that murder would be legal. What you can't do is use dead people to fallaciously characterize your opponents. That's just pure exploitation and demagoguery.


Argument: "These people died, and I support measures to prevent it. If you disagree we can talk."

False Characterization: "These people died, I support measures to prevent it, and if you disagree with me you obviously don't care about their deaths and are a horrible person."

If Shapiro wants to use dead grammy and grampy then fine.

No, it's about presentation. Shapiro said he supports the intention of the 2A because how his grandparents died. Morgan in his recent interviews with previous gun right proponents would say things like, "So you thinking American's should have AR15's is supporting the mass murder of children like in Sandy Hook?"

That's just pure asshatery to use the Sandy Hook or even the killing of children and equating something like that to firearm ownership of any sort. Or the support of said ownership. That is what Piers Morgan does in his interviews. Massive troll basically.

But Morgan didn't do the same, that's the point. See this for starters:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uzHB9serew&t=2m22s

He openly used dead children to imply that gun lobbyists "don't get it." and "don't want change." Both of which are absolutely false in most cases.

Shapiro did nothing of the sort. He simply stated an argument and his reasons, which happen to include his grandparents. He didn't use them to pass or imply moral judgement on Morgan.

There was a difference with morgan, he said if you oppose him then you are against the children

If that is what Morgan says...I believe you...and that is asshat level stuff.

I am clear I think Morgan is a blowhard.

That said, Shapiro makes a political point by using his dead ancestors...something that turns me off just as much as anything Morgan said.

I don't need any appeal to emotion to understand Mr. Shapiro or his political positions. The minute him or anyone else serves up a platter of fallacious BS I'm skeptical of their logic and reasoning.
