BBC'S 'TOP GEAR' HOST TO AMERICA: 'IT TOOK US 40 YEARS TO GET RID OF PIERS MORGAN, PLEASE DON'T SEND HIM BACK'

◼ Following the deadly shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, Morgan insulted second amendment advocates on Twitter and called a guest on his CNN show, Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners for America, an "idiot," "dangerous" and an "unbelievably stupid man." - Kerry Picket/Breitbart

An individual by the name Kurt N. started a petition at WhiteHouse.gov demanding Morgan be deported back to Britain. Thousands have already signed the petition.

The petition, created last week, had 65,887 supporters around 5 P.M. Tuesday and is posted on the White House’s official petition site. It slams Morgan for comments he has made regarding gun control in the wake of the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School that killed 20 children and six adults.

“British Citizen and CNN television host Piers Morgan is engaged in a hostile attack against the U.S. Constitution by targeting the Second Amendment,” the petition to the Obama administration reads. “We demand that Mr. Morgan be deported immediately for his effort to undermine the Bill of Rights and for exploiting his position as a national network television host to stage attacks against the rights of American citizens.”
