Piers Morgan
is not worried about getting deported. Gun proponents have launched a
petition to send him back to U.K. following a heated argument about gun
control demand following the school shootings in Connecticut, but the TV
host doesn't feel threatened at all.
The petition posted on the White House website has collected nearly
25,000 signatures, the number needed to get the government to address
the matter. "Just 4821 signatures needed to take my deportation petition
to the point Obama has to respond. I urge you to sign," he tweeted.
Morgan clashed with a gun advocate when the CNN presenter voiced his
support for gun control. "You're an unbelievably stupid man, aren't
you?" he mocked his guest who suggested that teachers were allowed to
carry weapons in the classroom.
The petition that soon followed the debate read, "British Citizen and
CNN television host Piers Morgan is engaged in a hostile attack against
the U.S. Constitution by targeting the Second Amendment. We demand that
Mr. 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."
In response, Morgan tweeted, "Ironic U.S. gun rights campaign to deport
me for 'attacking 2nd Amendment rights' - is my opinion not protected
under 1st Amendment rights?"
Piers is not the only celebrity demanding gun control to prevent another horrific mass murder. Most recently, Beyonce Knowles, Jennifer Aniston, Jon Hamm and Jamie Foxx sent their message to end gun violence in a PSA.
