Piers Morgan Live Officially Ends, Piers Rails Against NRA in Big Farewell

Piers Morgan Live came to an end Friday night, and Piers Morgan himself ended the show by thanking the people who helped make the show possible and loyal viewers who stayed on to watch. He said, “We gave it everything we had and I loved every minute. Well, maybe not every minute.”

But Morgan went out swinging at the NRA, in a final monologue hitting on the same point he has been hammering from the start of his tenure at CNN: gun violence in America is a serious problem and “the scourge of gun violence” needs to be stopped, but as long as the NRA keeps pressuring politicians into backing off, nothing will get done.

1. I like him

I guess the ratings were down, but I kinda liked him anyway.

4. I liked him, too, but not enough to watch regularly.

Sorry I missed the NRA rant.

2. Regardless of what

NRA apologists claim, the right-wing NRA has bought, bullied, and battered politicians using corporate money, all in the name of profits and greed.

Piers Morgan is correct when he says that "nothing will get done" in respect to the gun violence epidemic in this country until we Liberal Democrats elect more non-corrupt candidates to office at all levels of government.

7. Which is harder

Than ever when we have weasels like Leland Yee talking a good game

8. What in the hell

does Yee have to do with the NRA? Are you defending the right-wing NRA/ALEC/Koch Brothers gun lobby?

3. I came to respect him over his speaking out on guns

Few American TV people have the courage or foresight to do that.

5. I looked forward to his parting words.

I was not disappointed. He quoted Winston Churchill in explaining how to drive home a point: "Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack." That quote was fitting, especially considering Piers' love of the sport of cricket.

6. Me too.
