If I had an a-hole cousin from England, he'd look just like Piers Morgan...

@TamSlick That, or better immigration laws...

The obvious response? "That's racist!"

Boat Guy said...: I'll wager Jeremy is just as hoplophobic as Piers. From my years of watching Top Gear on the Beeb I'd say he isn't much more pro-American either.
I DO know some Brits who would happily bitch-slap Piers, though. They just happen to be "overseas" at the moment.
+1 on the "Immigration Law" coment.; 12:51 PM, September 17, 2013

Look up Top Gear shooing skeet.

orygunmike said...: The question remains ... should it be determined that the shooter did not in fact purchase the AR15 from a gun store, as Piers emphatically shouted as "fact" at his 3 guest on his show last night, will he try to claim he didn't draw that red line?; 2:08 PM, September 17, 2013
Tam said...: orygunmike,

Turns out there was no rifle at all. Not that Piers will correct his error...; 2:58 PM, September 17, 2013
Boat Guy said...: Gerry,
Seen enough BBC top Gear to have watched them doing garden excavation with shotguns... but still would not class Clarkson as either a gun guy (more likely one of those types we all encounter who says "I'm a gun owner and I see NOTHING WRONG with 'common sense gun control'") or friendly to American principles of liberty.; 3:12 PM, September 17, 2013
Bram said...: Clarkson punched Morgan for being a lying sack of dung - had nothing to do with politics.; 3:22 PM, September 17, 2013
Tam said...: ...and that's good enough for me. :); 3:48 PM, September 17, 2013
Drang said...: Clarkson freely admits to enjoying "shooting", which, to a Brit, means bird hunting. ISTR he sprang for the Range Rover with the slide-out lockbox for his over-unders.
And the wet bar.

He also did biathlon with an MP5.

Whether he's a member of the gun culture V2 is another question entirely.; 6:56 PM, September 17, 2013

Steve Skubinna said...: My beef with Clarkson is precisely because he once punched Morgan in the face.

I mean, what kind of assclown, given the chance, would punch Piers Morgan only once?; 9:08 PM, September 17, 2013
Mark Alger said...: @Kristophr:

No, but it IS a social construct.

Will said...: Joseph:

do you keep your home doors open at all times, along with signs designating it as open to everyone?

If not, why not?; 2:05 AM, September 18, 2013
SewerDweller said...: Steve - Clarkson punched Morgan so hard he -broke his hand-.

Kinda makes it hard to swing round for another go when you've busted your thumper.; 3:18 AM, September 18, 2013
Tam said...: Will,

I'll take "Lame Analogies" for $500, Alex.; 7:11 AM, September 18, 2013
Will said...: Tam,
I'm guessing you don't see the results of our defacto open borders, up close and personal, on a daily basis.
Most of us vette people before we let them cross our home's threshold. I see no practical difference between that and our national threshold. The end result of not doing that is indistinguishable in either situation.; 2:41 PM, September 18, 2013
