Ted Nugent Owns Piers Morgan: 'Would you leave us the hell alone?'

In another display of stupidity by Piers Morgan, a man who decided to go to a gun range in Texas on Monday and shoot some guns and have a conversation with Ted Nugent, Morgan showed his true colors as a man who does not yet understand what America is all about. We in America do not change because some mad men do bad things to people who do not deserve it. Should we have banned all travel by airplane after 9/11 because there is always a risk of a plane being hijacked? I doubt many people would say we should have banned all air travel forever because of that, so why would be ban guns that have less to do with murder in this nation than a hammer does?

At the bottom of this blog you will see the video of the interview that Morgan did with Nugent on Monday, and I have to say that Nugent handled himself well and got out the points that needed to be made. He did not act like Alex Jones or get up and start screaming at Morgan. He made his points and Morgan, who rarely ever has a comeback to facts, kept to his usual self while trying to demonize Nugent and all other law-abiding Americans who own guns that he does not believe they should own.

Morgan, as of yet, has never really told the American people why he takes up a cause like this with assault weapons when handguns are the cause of much more of the murder and suicide in this country. He has yet to explain his rationale and after numerous attempts from myself that continues to this day on Twitter to get him to answer the question, he refuses to. That does not surprise me because, frankly, who am I and why would he care what a guy like me has to say. But I am American, I believe in a Second Amendment right that is not violated by those who do not begin to even understand it, and I am one of many who continues and will continue in the war of ideas to make sure that people like Morgan do not shape this conversation out to be something that it never should be in the first place.

After all of the times I have written about this and how many times that we have all discussed this, you would think that the American people would get it and not fall for the trap that they are falling for. This has nothing to do with murder or death of those who are innocent. If you believe Piers Morgan and others are on a crusade to end murder then you are more crazy than Alex Jones is. This has nothing to do with keeping children safe, keeping the populace as a whole safe, or lowering the murder rate. If it were, we would not be discussing bans on so-called "assault weapons" but bans on all firearms. This is not the conversation, although I would have more respect for those who believe it and will actually say it than those like Morgan who dance around it like a school kid doing the moon walk in a high school auditorium. This is about the incremental changes that those on the Left and some on the Right are willing to make to make you believe you are safer even though no gun laws will ever make anyone anywhere safer than they are right at this moment.

If you want to be safe on your person you should learn how to fire a gun and carry one with you. You should learn how to protect yourself and not get into situations where you may end up in danger. We should teach our children that guns are not bad or evil, but can cause harm to those we love or the innocent if not given the proper respect that they deserve. But most importantly we should not be afraid to call the police or talk to someone in authority when we suspect that there is someone that we know that may not be mentally stable and could have the idea of hurting others for no other reason than because they are cowards. No matter what shooting it is we hear people say that they had an idea that he or she might do this or that, but never brought it up to anyone. Why is it that these people, that after the fact say they are not surprised, did not say anything to anyone before it happened? If you believe that someone you know or have come into contact with may be a danger, you should tell someone. Maybe the person just needs someone to talk to or they need that one person to tell them to get help. No matter what they may need we know for a FACT that not saying anything at all has led to the deaths of innocent people and that telling someone in those cases could have hurt nothing at all. I am not saying it would have saved a life, but we will never know.

PA Girl, 5, Suspended For Threatening To "Shoot" Other Student With Toy Gun

Pennsylvania girl, 5, suspended for threatening to shoot girl with pink toy gun that blows soapy bubbles

We see this kind of thing all the time but it never gets an easier to talk about. Since these schools have this "Zero-Tolerance" policy, you cannot even be a 5 year old and say the wrong thing. And this is what happened in this case where a 5 year old little kindergartener threatened another student at the bus stop with a Hello Kitty plastic gun that shoots bubbles. Someone from the school was there at the time and searched the girl's bag for the gun, but she did not have it on her. Let's just say for a second she actually DID have it on her. I am almost positive, and you can correct me if I am wrong, but no one has EVER been killed by being hit by a bubble. Again, if my claim is somehow not true then please let me know!

Initially, the school brought the girl into the office and interrogated her on her comments. They did not alert the parents but instead talked to the girl on her own and then handed down a ten day suspension for "terroristic threats". The mother of the young girl then came t the school to plead for her daughter to be allowed to come back, and the school decided that they would allow the girl to come back after a two-day suspension instead of a ten day suspension. The family has hired an attorney to get the young girl's record expunged, so hopefully the attorney will be able to do that.

This is what we in society call going WAY too far when it comes to trying to keep the schools safe. If the little girl would have told someone that she had a REAL gun and would shoot someone, that might be a little different but I doubt it would call for a suspension at 5 years old. The child needs to learn that those kind of threats are wrong, and at 5 she and others her age do not understand the events in Newtown or anywhere else. A child of that age may know what death is, but in that kind of situation there is no way they could wrap their heads around it to fully understand.

This is where a good educational system could step in and teach kids that pointing guns at other people is not good unless you are playing with toys, for example. I had a Nerf gun when I was younger and my friends all had them. We would shoot at each other and none of us ever got hurt. It is fine to play those games, but it is also needed that the parents and the schools teach these kids that REAL guns take people's lives and they should not be treated in the same respect as a toy gun. If parents and schools taught this from a young age I promise there would not be kids out there who do not know the difference between the two and go to pick up their parent's gun thinking it is a toy.

This could have been used as a learning experience, but instead the school decides to punish the young girl who did not even know she was doing something wrong. Not only that, the school puts her in a room and interrogates her like a common criminal, and when she goes back to class she is told by a teacher the police could be called on her. This is no way to handle a situation like this from the perspective of a school district, but they decided that the best course of action was to punish this girl without her even learning what she may have done wrong. Do you think the punishment is going to teach this 5 year old something? I highly doubt it!

We need to take a calm look at how we treat children and how we teach them. Like everything else that is dangerous in life, guns should be taught to children. Maybe not necessarily how to shoot them at such a young age, but what kind of affect they will have on them later in life and what not to do when you see your parent's gun or even a friends. This stuff has to be taught at home as well, but if the schools are a place they claim to be (a place to learn) then why not teach them that REAL guns are dangerous if you do not know what you are doing and that play guns are different? It seems to me even a lesson a young girl or boy could understand in a very short time period!
