Hot air and a heated argument on CNN

Alex Jones sounds off on Piers Morgan Tonight

Storified by Maclean’s Magazine· Tue, Jan 08 2013 03:12:37

Americans are passionate about their second amendment—the right to bear arms—so when CNN’s Piers Morgan came out saying he’s in favour of banning military-style assault weapons, radio host Alex Jones started a petition to the White House to deport Piers Morgan.” With more than 100,000 signatures on the petition, Jones was the feature interview on Piers Morgan Tonight on Monday. It was a made-for-TV event, in which some called Jones “passionate,” though more called his on-air tirade “crazy.” Whatever you call it, Twitter was full of opinions.
