Piers Morgan annihilates pro-gun guest as Good Morning Britain gets FIERY
Piers was speaking to Campus Carry advocate Antonia Okafor, who says there should be more guns in schools in the wake of the Florida school shooting.
The debate comes after Donald Trumps daughter, Ivanka, seemed to suggest that teachers should be armed to prevent any further massacres in schools.
Good Morning Britain invited Sam Zeif, who was a pupil at the Stoneman Douglas High School during the shooting, and NRA member Antonia Okafor to take part in a lively debate.
Sam started the on-air discussion, explaining: If teachers were armed, they wouldnt have been able to do anything.
It goes against the code red protocol that is in place during these events.
Anyway, we had an armed deputy on campus, and he did nothing to stop the attack. However, Antonia hit back: Absolutely teachers should have access to defend and stop a perpetrator.
Teachers and students need the tools to defend their lives. But Antonias arguments didnt wash well with Piers, with the 52-year-old slamming Antonia for her views.
"Secondly, America is in the west? Do you even know where you are? You ridiculous woman!" Piers Morgan Can you tell me why in so many countries, such as the UK and Germany, that gun violence goes down after stricter gun control is brought in? Piers began his argument.
Yet in America, things are just getting worse.
How many children need to die before anything is done? But 27-year-old Antonia was not going to take Pierss damning statements lying down, hitting back: Evil doesnt have an age limit.
As a black woman, I would want something to defend my life.
My parents are from Nigeria, and they came to the US.
All your examples are from the Western world.
What about Egypt, where they have mass shootings? The awkward moment saw Piers reply: A: This hasnt got anything to do with your skin colour, so shame on you for bringing that up.
Secondly, America is in the west? Do you even know where you are? You ridiculous woman! Shame on you, Piers Morgan! Antonia shouted back.
And GMB viewers took to Twitter after the fiery debate, with many siding with Piers over the controversial topic.
Ive never liked Piers Morgan, but I cant fault the interview he just did on gun control, said one viewer.
Its ridiculous that people are trying to fight shootings with the justification for more guns. A second viewer wrote: That lady was so unreal in the gun debate.
Well done Piers for the wise words against guns in America. I love it when Piers Morgan goes in on gun nut Americans on GMB, praised a third.
How on earth can more guns before the solution? If Sandy Hook couldnt change gun laws, what can?.
It was a lively GMB this morning, with Piers also showing off his saucy Villain of the Year trophy from the NME Awards.
The distinctive middle-finger design, which Piers wiggled at the cameras, saw co-host Susanna Reid apologise live on-air for Piers swearing.
Good Morning Britain continues weekdays at 6am on ITV.
