Watch his interview with Larry Pratt from Gun Owners of America -
Pier Morgan debating GOA Larry Pratt. - YouTube
What happened to freedom of speech ? Or you start your ten count with 2 ?
He can't both attack an amendment and hide behind another. Especially if he isn't even a citizen, and has no right to our Constitution.

He has the freedom to say whatever he wants but those words are not free from consequences. He is using his position as a news show host to promote his anti-gun opinions. I don't think most Americans are comfortable with a Brit telling them that they shouldn't own guns. If Piers doesn't like guns then he should live somewere with fewer of them, England perhaps.
There are limitations for the 1st Amendment, but this is not one of such cases. I understand you may have an opinion that he should go back where he came from, since he doesn't share your values. But that is not
the same as demanding governmental actions. This very act indicates that either you don't fully understand what Constitution does, how it does it and why, or you are simply applying a double standard. Either way you
are wrong.
Amy I wrong? He is using his position as a supposed news man to try and take away my 2nd amendment rights. That is a subversive act that goes beyond mere opinion and is not protected by the 1st amendment. He is actively assaulting our constitution and should expect some consequences for that.
I think your interpretation of the 1st amendment is a bit idealistic. The 1st amendment does not grant you the right to say whatever you feel like without consequence.
I am trying to be patient with you. Mr. Morgan is engaging in political speech, activity outright protected by the 1st Amendment. His position has no bearing on whether this activity is protected or not. 1st Amendment also extends to non-citizens. So as long as he is not calling for violence against US Government, US citizens, or American gun owners, he is well within his rights.
Thank you for your patience but what I really need from you is a little more thought. Piers is attempting to take away my rights so as a consequence of this action I am advocating that he GTFO of the country. I want to make it clear that I in no way think that Piers is doing anything illegal. His words are certainly protected by the 1st amendment. The 1st amendment does not protect him from the consequences of those words, agreed?
Michael Richards (Kramer from Seinfeld) went on an epithet laced tirade on stage. The 1st amendment protected him from any legal repercussions from that episode. It did not protect him from the consequences of such speech. Michael Richards' career was ruined because of his actions and I would like to see the same thing happen to Piers.
Make Sense?
Additionally – if you read the petition, it doesn't ask for his removal because he is asserting his 1st amendment rights. It asks for his removal because he is attacking our 2nd amendment rights. I know you think that I am applying a double standard but you are wrong. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
Again I assert - you can't say whatever you want and not expect any consequences - Look at Michael Richards
So if I am calling for a change of Constitution ("attacking" Constitution), I am not protected by the Constitution ? Interesting

LOLOL not if you are not a citizen, did you just type what I think I read ???
I also do not have rights in IRAN, as a guest.
He is a BRITISH citizen, not a USA citizen.
Considering his overall ratings, Piers should be glad tens of thousands of people even know who he is.
What he is doing is "Subversion". Someone from another country that is not a citizen may not come to this country and use a media/journalist position to do what he is trying to do. It is illegal and punishable by deportation. The petition is merely an attempt to draw attention to something that government should be doing without being asked to. He should be deported and go back to where he came from to face criminal charges that he is avoiding by hiding in America.
