"As WND reported, despite his avid criticism of guns, Morgan protects his own personal property with signs warning that it is guarded by 'Armed Response Security Systems,' according to a recent investigation by self-described 'guerrilla journalist' James O’Keefe. And on March 11, Morgan insisted that, 'people need the nanny state occasionally.'
