Piers Morgan Remains Oblivious to His Own Fuzzy Logic on Assault Weapo
On Thursday's Piers Morgan Tonight on CNN, host Morgan failed to grasp the logical contradiction in his eagerness to ban supposed "assault weapons" that have been used in recent mass shootings, while he does not voice support for a similar ban on handguns which are utilized much more often by criminals.

CNN's Costello: 'No One Is Talking About Overturning the Second Amendm
On CNN this morning, in a quote captured by Rush Limbaugh on his program today (but predictably ignored by David Edwards covering the broadcast at Raw Story), Carol Costello told viewers that "no one is talking about overturning the Second Amendment or confiscating guns in America."

CBS Touts Piers Morgan's Gun Control 'Crusade'; Morgan Boosts 'Really

Ann Coulter: Debunking Elisabeth Rosenthal's 'More Guns = More Killing
In Sunday's New York Times, Elisabeth Rosenthal claimed, as the title of her article put it, "More Guns = More Killing."

There is an academic, peer-reviewed,…

Michael Moore Calls for Ban of Semiautomatic Guns
Oscar winning “documentary” film-maker Michael Moore is no stranger to activism. On Jan. 9, Moore told the AP that he was “heartbroken” that his 2002 pro-gun control documentary “Bowling for Columbine” had not moved the nation to make more strides toward gun control.
