Alex Jones Goes Ballistic Debating Gun Control With Piers Morgan: '1776 Will Commence Again If You Try to Take Our Firearms!

(CNN)

The White House petition to "deport" CNN host Piers Morgan from the United States has acquired more than 100,000 signatures. For his own reasons, Morgan invited the man behind the petition, Infowars' Alex Jones, to discuss the reason for the petition and gun control on his show Monday night.

At many times throughout the segment, Jones got heated and began hollering about the seriousness of the threat to the Second Amendment. He said he created the petition to bring attention to the fact that we have "all these foreigners" arguing for gun control while the government stockpiles guns.

"When they get our guns they can have their world tyranny, while the government buys 1.6 billion bullets, armored vehicles, tanks, helicopters, predator drones," he added. "The Second Amendment isn't there for duck hunting, it's there to protect us from tyrannical government and street thugs."

Getting himself worked up, Jones quickly lost his cool.

"Britain took the guns…Hitler took the guns, Stalin took the guns, Mao took the guns, Fidel Castro took the guns, Hugo Chavez took the guns," he said, raising his voice and pointing a finger at the CNN host. "And I'm here to tell you. 1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms! It doesn't matter how many lemmings you have out there on the street begging for them to have their guns taken. We will not relinquish them. Do you understand?"

After Jones accused the U.S. government of giving citizens "suicide mass murder pills," Morgan asked him how many gun murders there were in the U.S. last year.

Jones quickly replied, "11,458 and about 74 percent of those were gang-related." However, he quickly mocked the CNN host with his own question: "How many great white sharks kill people every year but are afraid to swim?"

Jones continually interrupted Morgan, making it difficult for a serious debate to occur. "You are a hatchet man of the new world order," Jones spat at Morgan.

Once he found an opening, Morgan explained that Britain had just 35 gun-related murders last year compared to America's 11,458. Jones argued it isn't the "gun" that is killing people, it's the criminals. In other words, a criminal will find a way to kill with a knife or a metal rod if guns aren't available. He cited Britain's high overall violent crime rate to make his point.

On Monday, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney responded to the petition to deport Morgan.

"The White House responds to all petitions that cross the threshold and we will respond to this one. In the meantime, it is worth remembering that the freedom of expression is a bedrock principle in our democracy," Carney said.
