Is there a United States citizen more committed to liberating law-abiding Americans from their firearms than CNN’s U.K. import Piers Morgan? He does offer a special non-citizen’s perspective, allowing him to alert us to things like the latest American gun atrocity that otherwise would have gone unnoticed.

Obviously, the heartbreaking fatal shooting of a 13-month-old baby and the wounding of its mother by two teen thugs demanding money in Brunswick, Ga., is nothing short of an atrocity. Sadly, we’re to the point where the shock of hearing such news is quickly eclipsed by gun control lobbying. Many of Morgan’s followers, though, were quick to point out that none of the gun control proposals he’s backed would have prevented it.

Someone get @piersmorgan down from the body of that little baby and explain that the assault weapons ban wouldn’t have stopped the murder.

GUN Kidnaps teens, makes them kill baby! “@piersmorgan: Police arrest 2 Ga. teenagers, 17 and 14, in slaying of baby in stroller”

This is an atrocity, but i can’t help but notice you tacked your agenda to it. Had this been a sword, would you bother? @piersmorgan @ap

— D.W.Robinson (@_DWRobinson) March 22, 2013

Genuine curiosity @piersmorgan.What gun laws would you propose that could’ve prevented this?

— Ben Howe (@BenHowe) March 22, 2013

Keep in mind that if @piersmorgan has his way that mother wouldn’t have even had the option to possess something to defend baby or herself.

@piersmorgan @ap How about you stop politicizing you pompous ass. Let’s talk about disgusting this is and leave your BS for later #tcot

— Embrace the Cause (@embracethecause) March 22, 2013

@piersmorgan @ap for you to immediately use this as a talking point is disgusting and you should be ashamed.

@alexgrogan97 @piersmorgan Where did they get the guns from though? Because you can’t legally get any at those ages…

@piersmorgan @ap sad do you think the two perps would follow any new gun regs?We’re they carrying ar-15 s?

@piersmorgan Name ONE law that could have saved the baby. Just ONE. You CAN’T. Th ONLY chance that baby had was an ARMED mom. Prove me wrong

— RedneckMeskinBoy (@johnnyfriegas) March 22, 2013

@piersmorgan @ap Because clearly if you wanted to kill a baby in a stroller, the only way to do that is with a gun.

— Stephen York (@syork2816) March 22, 2013

@piersmorgan @ap this is pure evil. No gun law would have prevented this.

— Hair (@SHannitysHair) March 22, 2013

@piersmorgan You are sick. That’s my hometown you ass. NO gun law would have kept those CRIMINALS from having guns. Leave.

— TC (@Dawgfan) March 22, 2013

@piersmorgan Because gun laws totally make a teenage criminal think twice about getting a gun. Shut your politicization the hell up.

— Brandon Morse (@CnservativePunk) March 22, 2013

Seriously @piersmorgan, you can’t even put away your backwards politics for a day? You’re sick dude.

— Brandon Morse (@CnservativePunk) March 22, 2013

.@piersmorgan the fact that I have to defend my position from you on guns DIRECTLY after this tragedy is sick.

— Brandon Morse (@CnservativePunk) March 22, 2013

.@piersmorgan So for the sake of the mother, the family, and anyone else effected, kindly shut up. For just a week at least. Shut up.

— Brandon Morse (@CnservativePunk) March 22, 2013

Wait. I thought @piersmorgan was only looking to ban AR-15s? Has he moved on to handguns now after claiming all this time he wasn’t?

— RB (@RBPundit) March 22, 2013

@piersmorgan @apPiers obama rejected mandatory sentances for repeat gun crime offenders.gun prosecutions down over 50 percent.

— jason(@jasondannyson) March 22, 2013

@piersmorgan @apObama is against more penalties for repeat gun crime offenders so media doesn’t push this.Demand mandatory sentances.

— jason(@jasondannyson) March 22, 2013

Once again, @piersmorgan is beside himself with glee over a brutal murder because he thinks it helps advance his bullshit agenda. #Sick

— Stevie J. West (@StevieJWest) March 22, 2013

Oh, @piersmorgan is dancing on the grave of an infant now? Color me unsurprised. #ghoul

— Leah (@gopfirecracker) March 22, 2013

I have never seen someone use people’s deaths as much as @piersmorgan to push his gun agenda. It’s sick and offensive.

Update:

We’re hearing word of more knife violence in the United Kingdom. When will Parliament do something about Brits and their sharp object culture? Piers, you’re needed back home ASAP!
