Looks like the 94,000 people who signed that ridiculous petition to have CNN host Piers Morgan deported for his stance on US gun control laws may get their wish: In a column posted on the UK's Daily Mail website, Morgan proclaimed that he would leave the country if nothing changed.
"I can spare those Americans who want me deported a lot of effort by saying this: If you don’t change your gun laws to at least try to stop this relentless tidal wave of murderous carnage, then you don’t have to worry about deporting me," Morgan wrote. "Although I love the country as a second home and one that has treated me incredibly well, I would, as a concerned parent first – and latterly, of a one-year-old daughter who may attend an American elementary school like Sandy Hook in three years’ time – seriously consider deporting myself."
In the column, Morgan explains when his stance on US gun control laws originated, and expressed his disdain for how easy it is to acquire weapons in the country. From the post:

Morgan continues by slamming critics for "sneering" at him when he tried to stand up to the NRA on his show. "My argument with guns is not based on some universal, pathological hatred of them. I’m not a pacifist," he said. "Guns win necessary wars and defeat tyrannical regimes like the Nazis...Nor do I have a problem with those who use guns for hunting or for sport."
As for what he thinks should be done next, Morgan applauded President Obama's intentions to place a ban on assault weapons and high capacity magazines.
