Our Bloke in the Gun Ban Camp

Mike says "Hands off Piers Morgan." [Read]

I agree, and for Mike's reasons. Old Piers fires up the gun owner base in a way Mitt Romney never could.

Not that I think the petition is anything more than symbolic anyway, but those who only see the benefits of deporting him are not considering the costs of having a fedgov empowered to be the final word in this.
It's a reverse of what the anti-gunners do, when they gin up the hysterics over  the economic "costs of guns" but omit factoring in any economic benefits.

I was considering the petition as well, but he's such a jerk that he's doing harm to the Brady Bunch, et al, that we ought to keep him.

Well, if he does have to be deported back to Britain, do we have to send him back on a plane, or can we just put him on a raft and hope he makes it?

The Brits are refusing to take him bak. Change.org petition:

UK Government: Stop Piers Morgan from being deported back to the UK from America

"We got rid of him once and why should we have to suffer again. The Americans wanted him so they should put up with him. We washed our hands of him a long time ago."
