Piers Morgan staying in America ‘on the President’s orders’

PIERS Morgan has vowed to carry on his fight to ban guns in America and has said he will remain in the country "on the President's orders".
A petition signed by 100,000 Americans called for the TV show host to be deported from the country.
The CNN presenter turned on gun lobbyists in the US following the shooting dead of 20 children at Sandy Hook school last month.
His calls for a ban were met with fierce opposition from pro-gun groups, including the launch of a “deport Piers Morgan” petition by American radio host Alex Jones, with whom Morgan had a heated on-air debate about the issue.

Speaking from New York on Daybreak, Morgan said the petition had been unsuccessful after being turned down by President Obama and he would remain in the country to carry on the battle.
He said: "The bottom line, and I know this will be very distressing to people in Britain, is that I'm going to be staying in America on the President’s orders."
Morgan has publicly called for assault rifles to be banned and called them "killing machines".
And he called gun-enthusiast Jones "bordering on insane" after they clashed on his CNN chat show.

"This whole logic of more guns, less crime is so deeply flawed and dangerous, it just has to change,” he said.
Asked if he felt fearful for the safety of his family in America, Morgan said he was worried his young daughter could be in danger if she goes to school in the country in a few years’ time.
“I’m already concerned about her safety in a country that has such lax gun control,” he said.
“The reason it has such lax gun control is that the National Rifle Association, the NRA and other gun rights people, is that they breed on fear and the reason they do that is because it guarantees more sales of ammunition and weapons,
"You’re living in a country now that is driven by these people into a sort of subconscious feeling that if you’re not armed, then there’s something wrong with you.”
