Apparently Piers Morgan is engaged in a “hostile attack against the U.S. Constitution.” Well, at least to pro-gun advocates.

The British national and CNN host is the target of a growing petition demanding his deportation after the outspoken journalist made anti-gun comments following the Sandy Hook shootings:
Minutes after news of the shootings broke, the 47-year-old tweeted, “Why does any civilian in America need a weapon that can fire 100 rounds of ammunition at rapid speed?” He also insisted that the “only way forward for America is a national gun policy, same (much tougher) laws for everyone. No assault weapons for civilians, period.”
The petition, hosted by the We The People White House petition website, has close to 70,000 signatures demanding that Morgan be deported immediately for his effort to “undermine the Bill of Rights and for exploiting his position as a national network television host to stage attacks against the rights of American citizens.”
According to the We The People petition website, the White House is obligated to issue a response if a petition posted on its website receives 25,000 signatures in 30 days.

Yikes!! The power of the people can be a scary thing when those people are pro-gun advocates accusing any who wants more gun control of treason. Or in Morgan’s case, a vicious attack from the Brits. Ridiculous.
