President Obama recently proved that he shoots skeet, and now Piers Morgan can say he’s shot an AR-15. Morgan traveled to Texas today to find out what it’s like to shoot the gun “used in the last five mass shootings in America,” including Sandy Hook Elementary School. -snip-



Edited to add...

The clip above is only the first segment of Monday night's show.
The remainder of the program Piers voiced his support for semi-automatics to be banned and for other gun regulations.

I'm fascinated with aerial fireworks. It doesn't mean I carry dynamite in public. Just saying.

But being honest gets more respect from me than getting what I expect. It doesn't mean the message has changed.

Someone stroked his ego too much when they told him he had the same accuracy as a professional after just picking up he thing.

Any political solution will be glacial. We need intelligent GPS chips in guns; so we know where they are; and who is holding them. Wrong person; gun doesn't fire. NRA will fight this tooth and nail but its the solution
