Not backing down from a fight or allowing NRA supporters to reel off their talking points, CNN's Piers Morgan has adopted the tragedy in Connecticut as a rally cry to push for real change with gun sales in the USA.
In response to the horrific massacre in Newtown, Conn., Morgan has steadily broadcasted his opinion and challenges to pro gun guests.
Last Friday saw him interview Steve Dulan of the Michigan Coalition of Responsible Gun Owners, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), Dan Gross of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and gun-rights advocate John Lott. Tonight he interviewed Cade Courtley, Dr. Oz and Larry Pratt.
Morgan also had Texan singer songwriter Willie Nelson on his show back in November before the tragedy. Nelson expressed that high-powered assault rifles are an entirely different discussion:
"I don't know what I would do with a gun that would shoot 100 times," Nelson tells the "Piers Morgan Tonight" host. "I don't agree with that. I think it should be more regulated. I think a lot of guns - there's no need for civilians to own those. Those are for military."
