"Piers Morgan Live, Rewind": Penn Jillette, Billy Baldwin and Piers Morgan talk guns, Gingrich calls Morgan's comments "absurd"
Whether you fell asleep early, stayed out too late, or simply want to watch it again, we realize it's not always possible to get your entire "Piers Morgan Live" fix from television. As an answer to this, we offer the below labor of love – "Piers Morgan Live, Rewind" – dedicated and designed to getting you caught up and connected to the conversation.
- Penn Jillette, Billy Baldwin and Piers Morgan talk guns and violence in the media
On Thursday evening, "Piers Morgan Live" welcomed back Billy Baldwin and Penn Jillette to the program where they discussed a myriad of topics including same-sex marriage, gun legislation, the NRA and violence in the media.
During the conversation, Jillette and Piers Morgan engaged in a heated debate over Morgan's arguments for gun control.
"The vast majority of people who have mental illness problems never hurt anybody," said Jillette. "The vast majority of people who have guns never hurt anybody. The problem is you're dealing with such tiny numbers of people."
The comment incited a strong reaction from Morgan who argued back, "What do you call tiny numbers?"
"Mass shootings are escalating in a dramatic way since 2007. Many more of them happening and the scale of them, massively higher," continued Morgan.
Every time you make this argument, every time you make it, the - what you do is you start with the mass murderers, and then you will ask how many gun shootings there are," explained Penn in response. "And those are two very, very different things."
Meanwhile Baldwin addressed the NRA and gun industry's argument for gun rights under the Second Amendment by comparing it to the entertainment industry's backing of the First Amendment.
"The entertainment industry hid behind the First Amendment to line their pockets with billions of dollars in profits and they stepped up. We have a rating system for television, we have a rating system for video games, we have a rating system for movies and for music," said Baldwin.
"And that's exactly what the gun industry and the NRA are doing now. They're hiding behind the Second Amendment to line their pockets with profits."
Newt Gingrich returned to the program and continued his debate with Morgan on guns in America.
During the very lively debate, Morgan asked and answered his own question, saying, "Arm the teachers, 120,000 schools in America, arm a teacher in every one. Why do the NRA want to do that? Because it sells another 120,000 guns."
To which the former Republican House speaker laughed and responded "That is an absurd comment."
"The greatest gun salesman in American history is President Barack Obama. Nobody has led to a greater increase in gun purchases than the Obama administration," said Gingrich. "And the fact is this president for some reason has spurred in the American people a desire to own a gun on a scale that the NRA couldn't have dreamed of."

Hello Piers,
I just wanted to express my admiration over your single-handed battle against situation with guns in America. It is very sad that you have to deal with so much ignorance, dishonesty and plain stupidity when trying to get any kind of logic out of your opponents' arguments. May I suggest one question you may want to ask those people: how many people get saved by guns in America vs. number being killed each year? I am sure there are not that many cases when law-abiding citizens had been able to stop criminals by using guns, – unfortunately, don't know the official statistics on that.
Thank you for all your hard work on trying to bring America to sanity.
Hello,

Irina, I am a licensed gun carrier. If put in a situation where someone was going to hurt you or Pier. I promise, I will do nothing to protect you or him. And if I lived next door to either one of you, I would put a sign in my front yard telling all the thief that I have a gun to protect myself but you don't, and I promise them that I will do nothing to help you.

Please do some research on "Defensive Gun Uses (DGUs)". There have been about 13 non-NRA studies on DGUs that estimate between 800,000 and 2,500,000 (depending on what study you read) instances occur each year where someone has stopped a criminal act, either from commencing or completing, with the threat of or actual use of a gun.
Irina, you should be well informed on the topic/issue before you take a stand.
If you want to talk about ignorance and stupidity you don't have to look any further than the lawmakers who are trying pass gun control legislation. They are demonstrating no knowledge on the subject. Lets hope they can demonstrate more knowledge on other issues, otherwise it would appear we have worryingly elected a bunch of idiots to run this country.

Same CO Senator, Diana Degette, putting her foot in it again. Once again demonstrating the arrogance and stupidity of some of our elected officials who advocate tougher gun laws and bans. Lets hope the good people of Colorado vote her out in 2014, as she clearly doesn't have the intellect to hold office.

its easy when u look at statistics & when you become familiar with guns. piers will never have this sweet 15 yr old on because he couldnt disrespect her like he does everyone else who talks about logic & facts that is on his.... , show? i duno soap opera? whatever u call this thing he has on CNN...
well either way anybody who uses facts & logic to explain to piers what needs to be done to stop violence, piers freaks out & does anything he can to not let them speak. even if it means aciting like he is insane & doesnt have control over his emotions & having temper tantrums like little children .
http://youtu.be/L_-N9_tnWBo
if she was on, atleast she talks fast --so maybe she could get a few things in about what needs to be done to stop violence before piers has his temper tantrums & wont let her tell him what is proven to work to stop violence
I am so sick of this universal back grounds debate. There is a lie that gun checks are not held at Gun Shows. This is utterly not true. Having bought guns at gun shows I know for a fact that you are checked. I have a concealed weapons permit and I know that what is being told is a lie.
Solution to the problem: every gun bought and sold should have a carbon copy bill of sale. That way when BATF searches who bought the firearms your able to show who you sold the gun to. It is a wrong thing for a neighbor to be able to find out protected information about their lives there is such thing as data protection.
HIgh capacity magazine prices have sky rocketed. The number of guns being sold are through the roof. Most of the guns are more than three months behind in making firearms as the demand is so high. There is enough guns on the market even if they never make enough you can still buy them if you want to pay the large amount.
So rather than worrying about the usa he should be worried about what's happpening in the UK as knife killings are out of control No one wants to talk about that. What about Piers at the News of The World? He doesn't talk about that.
so tell the truth about the so called universal gun checks. It's already in place. The fact is we don't need more gun laws we need enforcement of the current laws and not more laws. Enforcement of current laws just the same as immigration we have immigration laws. The problem is we need enforcement of existing laws. That's what we should be arguing about. We need more BATF agents to check these things rather than more laws. BATF is in charge of guns in this country not Piers Morgan. Nothing personal just deal with the truth.
Gun crime in Britain doubles in a decade after the gun ban!

I quit the NRA when I found out Timothy McVeigh was a card carrying member of the NRA.
That’s like saying cops in the LAPD are all bad because of what Christopher Dorner did. Such shallow thinking.
Mr. Morgan,
If you do not like the laws in company could you keep your comments to yourself. I do not need a big speak out about the laws in the USA when the person is not of this country. Why do you not going back to England, oh you are not welcome there. Will guess what the people of the USA do not like you here either. Is is not the NRA against the peolpe it is the poelpe against you. If you are going to state fact at least state true fact and not just half of them. I would like you to leave this country. This is my right to ask you because I am a person born here is the US and do not like a person for another country coming here and telling us about the USA> Please would you go back to England. thank you if you do if not you are a corward.
good job interrupting penn everytime he started to say something about reducing gun violence. he was trying to help & contribute positively but piers just had to stop him & start getting emotional like a woman everytime 'SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE"
well shut up & let him tell you what can be done then & stop acting like a lil baby
I TOTALLY AGREE MIKE, ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ON THE MONEY , BEST POST I EVER READ , IF YOU WILL GO PIERS I WILL BUY THE PLANE TICKET .
Another Mass Shooting, Another Psychiatric Drug? Federal Investigation Long Overdue
Fact: Despite 22 international drug regulatory warnings on psychiatric drugs citing effects of mania, hostility, violence and even homicidal ideation, and dozens of high profile shootings/killings tied to psychiatric drug use, there has yet to be a federal investigation on the link between psychiatric drugs and acts of senseless violence.
Fact: At least 31 school shootings and/or school-related acts of violence have been committed by those taking or withdrawing from psychiatric drugs resulting in 162 wounded and 72 killed (in other school shootings, information about their drug use was never made public—neither confirming or refuting if they were under the influence of prescribed drugs).
Fact: Between 2004 and 2011, there have been over 11,000 reports to the U.S. FDA’s MedWatch system of psychiatric drug side effects related to violence. These include 300 cases of homicide, nearly 3,000 cases of mania and over 7,000 cases of aggression. Note: By the FDA’s own admission, only 1-10% of side effects are ever reported to the FDA, so the actual number of side effects occurring are most certainly higher.
Fact: It took months for the release of information showing that police had found psychiatric drugs in the apartment of Aurora Colorado movie theater shooter, James Holmes—including the anti-anxiety drug clonazepam and the antidepressant sertraline, the generic version of the antidepressant Zoloft.
1.St. Louis, Missouri – January 15, 2013: 34-year-old Sean Johnson walked onto the Stevens Inst!tute of Business & Arts campus and shot the school’s financial aid director once in the chest, then shot himself in the torso. Johnson had been taking prescribed drugs for an undisclosed mental illness.
3.Planoise, France – December 13, 2010: A 17-year-old youth held twenty pre-school children and their teacher hostage for hours at Charles Fourier preschool. The teen was reported to be on “medcation for depression”. He took a classroom hostage with two swords. Eventually, all the children and the teacher were released safely.
4.Myrtle Beach, South Carolina – September 21, 2011: 14-year-old Christian Helms had two pipe bombs in his backpack, when he shot and wounded Socastee High School’s “resource” (police) officer. However the officer was able to stop the student before he could do anything further. Helms had been taking drugs for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and depression.
5.Huntsville, Alabama – February 5, 2010: 15-year-old Hammad Memon shot and killed another Discover Middle School student Todd Brown. Memon had a history for being treated for ADHD and depression. He was taking the antidepressant Zoloft and “other drugs for the conditions.” He had been seeing a psychiatrist and psychologist.
6.Kauhajoki, Finland – September 23, 2008: 22-year-old culinary student Matti Saari shot and killed 9 students and a teacher, and wounded another student, before killing himself. Saari was taking an SSRI and a benzodiazapine. He was also seeing a psychologist.
7.Fresno, California – April 24, 2008: 17-year-old Jesus “Jesse” Carrizales attacked the Fresno high school’s officer, hitting him in the head with a baseball bat. After knocking the officer down, the officer shot Carrizales in self-defense, killing him. Carrizales had been prescribed Lexapro and Geodon, and his autopsy showed that he had a high dose of the antidepressant Lexapro in his blood that could have caused him to be paranoid, according to the coroner.
8.Dekalb, Illinois – February 14, 2008: 27-year-old Steven Kazmierczak shot and killed five people and wounded 21 others before killing himself in a Northern Illinois University auditorium. According to his girlfriend, he had recently been taking Prozac, Xanax and Ambien. Toxicology results showed that he still had trace amount of Xanax in his system. He had been seeing a psychiatrist.
9.Jokela, Finland – November 7, 2007: 18-year-old Finnish gunman Pekka-Eric Auvinen had been taking antidepressants before he killed eight people and wounded a dozen more at Jokela High School in southern Finland, then committed suicide.
10.Texas – November 7, 2007: 17-year-old Felicia McMillan returned to her former Robert E. Lee High School campus and stabbed a male student and wounded the principle with a knife. McMillan had been on drugs for depression, and had just taken them the night before the incident.
11.Cleveland, Ohio – October 10, 2007: 14-year-old Asa C–n stormed through his school with a gun in each hand, shooting and wounding four before taking his own life. Court records show C–n had been placed on the antidepressant Trazodone.
12.Sudbury, Massachusetts – January 19, 2007: 16-year-old John Odgren stabbed another student with a large kitchen knife in a boy’s bathroom at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School. In court his father testified that Odgren was prescribed the drug Ritalin.
13.North Vernon, Indiana – December 4, 2006: 16-year-old Travis Roberson stabbed another Jennings County High School student in the neck, nearly severing an artery. Roberson was in withdrawal from Wellbutrin, which he had stopped taking days before the attack.
14.Hillsborough, North Carolina – August 30, 2006: 19-year-old Alvaro Rafael Castillo shot and killed his father, then drove to Orange High School where he opened fire. Two students were injured in the shooting, which ended when school personnel tackled him. His mother said he was on drugs for depression.
15.Chapel Hill, North Carolina – April 2006: 17-year-old William Barrett Foster took a shotgun to school and took a teacher and a fellow student hostage at East Chapel Hill High School. After being talked out of shooting the hostages, Foster fired two shots through a classroom window before fleeing the school on foot. Foster’s father testified that his son had stopped taking his antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs without telling him.
16.Red Lake, Minnesota – March 21, 2005: 16-year-old Jeff Weise, on Prozac, shot and killed his grandparents, then went to his school on the Red Lake Indian Reservation where he shot dead 5 students, a security guard, and a teacher, and wounded 7 before killing himself.
17.Greenbsh, New York – February 2004: 16-year-old Jon Romano strolled into his high school in east Greenbush and opened fire with a shotgun. Special education teacher Michael Bennett was hit in the leg. Romano had been taking “medcation for depression”. He had previously seen a psychiatrist.
18.Red Lion, Pennsylvania – February 2, 2001: 56-year-old William Michael Stankewicz entered North Hopewell-Winterstown Elementary School with a machete, leaving three adults and 11 children injured. Stankewicz was taking four different drugs for depression and anxiety weeks before the attacks.

He then turned the knife on himself but suffered only wounds. He later told intgtors that before the attack he had taken 10 times his normal dose of antidepressants
roostershablim, why would you quit the NRA because of Timothy McVeigh? He did not use a gun to do his dirty work! Do you quit whatever party you belong to, every time they commit a crime? Do you quit any other organizations that you belong to, after someone else who belongs to the same group commits a murder or murders, etc. Without the NRA, your guns and your gun rights would've long ago disappeared! What a retard.
The only reason to watch Piers Morgan is to see Penn Jillette school the idiot.
Ditto.
One Mayor Bloomberg's, Mayor Against Illegal Guns, Jay Schiliro, arrested for allegedly threatening a young man for s&@ual favors at gun point. Amazing and worrying to think Schiliro is an advocate of stricter gun laws.
http://youtu.be/wEbTknXJYY8
So Mayor Schiliro didn't want the masses to own guns, we can understand why now. When only the elite have guns, this case demonstrates the abuse that can occur.
Get this man off your network. He is a tool.
Piers Morgan, you should do a follow up on this UK murder without guns!

1 death is too many and something needs to be done; something needs to change!
