"Alex Jones, a pro-gun radio host, wants CNN's Piers Morgan deported to the UK for using his show as an outlet for his anti-gun views in the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting. What's Morgan to do? Invite Jones on his show, of course.\nJones is the author of a White House petition to deport Morgan for \"his effort to undermine the Bill of Rights and for exploiting his position as a national network television host to stage attacks against the rights of American citizens.\" \nMorgan, a UK citizen, has brought his international perspective to the post-Sandy Hook gun control debate by often citing the comparatively low number of gun deaths in the UK and other areas where gun ownership is more restricted than it is in the United States. He has encountered a significant amount of conservative backlash for his stance.\nThe interview devolved almost entirely into a Jones shout-o-rama. Morgan remained calm as Jones refused to answer questions, acknowledge statistics and got very much in Morgan's face.\n\"I'm here to tell you \u2014 1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms,\" yelled Jones at Morgan during the interview, referencing the American Revolution. At another point, Jones deflected Morgan's question about the number of gun deaths in the UK by asking \"how many chimpanzees can dance on the head of a pin?\"\n\n\"[Jones] was the best advertisement for gun control you could wish for,\" Morgan later told Politico.\nJones' petition has garnered more than 106,000 signatures and will receive a White House response. A counter-petition, which demands the U.S. \"Keep Piers Morgan in the USA,\" has more than 9,000 signatures.\nImage courtesy CNN"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
