Piers Morgan blasts Texas Attorney General after he claims the 'only way to stop mass shootings is for MORE people to take guns to church'

Good Morning Britain's Piers Morgan blasted the Texas Attorney General in the wake of the church shooting that left at least 26 people dead

Daily Mail columnist Piers Morgan blasted the Texas Attorney General in the wake of the church shooting after he claimed the only way to stop mass shootings was for 'more people to take guns to church'.

During the live broadcast of the breakfast show he co-hosts, Morgan also criticised his friend Donald Trump for saying it 'wasn't a guns situation' but instead blamed it on a 'mental health problem at the highest level'.Mr Trump's former press secretary Sean Spicer also appeared on the show, Good Morning Britain, and agreed with the president that the mass shooting was 'not a guns issue'.

At least 26 people, ranging in age from five to 72, were killed by former Bible study teacher Devin Kelley, 26, at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs on Sunday.

Kelley was discharged from the Air Force for allegedly assaulting his wife and child, according to an Air Force spokeswoman.

The discharge would have disqualified him from owning a gun, but his Facebook profile had a cover photo of a semi-automatic rifle, apparently placed on his sofa, with the caption: 'She's a bad b*tch.'

Mr Morgan, a tireless campaigner for tighter gun control laws in the US, was furious by Texas Attorney Governor Ken Paxton saying the 'only way to stop mass shootings' was for 'more people to take guns to church'.

The GMB host sarcastically said: 'He's so right, isn't he? That's so obviously the answer isn't it? You brainless morons.

'Sorry but that's what you are Texas Attorney General: a brainless moron!'
