<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Piers Morgan appeared on “The Ben Shapiro Show Sunday Special” this past weekend to talk about a wide range of topics, including gun control. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For all intents and purposes, Morgan hasn’t changed his tune. The British television host still believes that America should radically reform its gun laws and enact misguided policies like universal background checks and bans on black rifles and magazines with a capacity greater than 10 rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What has changed is Morgan’s tone. He seems to be less combative than he used to be on this topic, at least when talking with Shapiro in the video embedded above. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may recall the first time these two sat down to debate the 2A<\/a>. It was back in 2013 in the wake of the mass killing at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. Morgan was still employed at CNN, serving as host of “Piers Morgan Live,” and Shapiro was, then, the Editor at Large for Breitbart.com. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was quite the clash. Morgan’s aggressiveness was no match for Shapiro’s wit. From the very beginning of that interview, it was evident that Morgan was crossing swords with someone who was not only not going to back down but was also going to call Morgan out for his pugnacity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou have been a bully on this issue… I watch your show, and I\u2019ve seen it repeatedly, what you tend to do is you tend to demonize people who differ from you politically by standing on the graves of the children of Sandy Hook, saying they don\u2019t seem to care enough about the dead kids,” Shapiro said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was classic. The video went viral and, one can argue, it helped to solidify Shapiro, who now runs The Daily Wire<\/a>, as a force to be reckoned with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, back to the Sunday Special, Morgan once again made a case for banning ARs, suggesting that because they are the “preferred weapon” of active shooters they need to be outlawed. I’m tired of anti-gunners perpetuating this myth! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Handguns are the “preferred weapon,” if one wants to use that language. Handguns were used by active shooters in more than 50 percent of the cases from 2000 to 2015, according to the FBI. Rifles, of any type, were only used in 27 percent of the events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Shapiro
(Graph: The Trace)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Suppose Morgan gets what he wants and all ARs are banned and confiscated. Will mass shootings stop? Nope. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An honest debate begins with understanding the facts. Morgan claims to be informed but the more he talks the more it becomes apparent that he is driven by emotion rather than reason and the facts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No gun ban is going to stop mass killings. Because mass killings aren’t dependent upon any one particular platform or weapon type. To eradicate mass killings we have to eradicate mass killers<\/em>. It’s a people problem. Not a gun problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll see in the video that Morgan can wrap his mind around that fundamental truth. He starts talking about the spike in knife violence across the pond<\/a> and how the Britsh government needs to ratchet up “draconian” knife control to curb the attacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, he can’t see the glaring flaw with this ban-happy approach, that even if all knives were prohibited and confiscated, criminals would fashion their own sharp implements or use baseball bats or table legs or whathaveyou to perpetrate violence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
