Read our privacy policy Piers Morgan has some pretty tough words for America and its president following the latest mass shooting in Texas. As investigators continue to explore possible motives that led a gunman to enter a small church in rural Texas with a rifle and kill at least 26 people, Morgan has already assigned blame: Lax gun laws in the US. Noting that the UK and Australia had turned gun violence rates around by passing tough as nails legislation, Morgan said he hopes America will wake up to its bloody status quo. “For God’s sake, America, wake the f**k up to the ghastly, deadly, unending, worsening reality of your sickening gun-crazed society and DO SOMETHING,” Morgan wrote in a column for the Daily Mail.
