French-Algerian philosopher Albert \u200cCamus interpreted this story positively, suggesting that the\u2063 struggle itself gives life\u2064 meaning, famously stating, &#8220;One must \u200dimagine \u200dSisyphus happy.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The article parallels this\u2064 myth with the ongoing debate on\u2064 gun control, particularly focusing on media personality\u200b Piers Morgan&#8217;s unwavering advocacy for stricter gun laws following his infamous debate with Ben Shapiro in 2013. Despite\u200c <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">shifting roles adn opinions<\/a> over the years, Morgan continues to push for\u200d gun control, likening his efforts to\u2064 Sisyphus&#8217;s plight.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent interview with Tucker Carlson, the discussion veers into gun\u2064 control as \u2063they explore the\u200b cultural differences surrounding firearm ownership in the UK and the US.\u2063 Morgan argues that \u200cstricter gun laws have led to reduced gun crime in the UK, while carlson counters with\u200b concerns\u2062 about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wolf-pack-crimes-committed-by-immigrant-youths-force-nypd-to-make-a-change\/\" title=\"&#039;Wolf Pack&#039; ...s Committed by Immigrant Youths Force NYPD to Make a Change\">broader issues related<\/a> to freedom and\u200c safety in Britain.<\/p>\n<p>The article critiques\u200c the implications\u200b of gun control laws on personal freedoms and \u200dcivil liberties, suggesting \u2064that such regulations reflect deeper societal issues\u2064 rather\u200d than \u200dmerely addressing gun violence.\u2064 It\u200d concludes that the continued push for gun control, akin to Sisyphus&#8217;s eternal \u200bstruggle, may\u200c not \u200beffectively resolve the underlying problems of crime and governance.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>In Greek mythology, the king Sisyphus got himself consigned to the underworld due to a variety of theopolitical circumstances that, TL;DR, ended up getting Zeus really peeved. His punishment was to eternally push a boulder all the way up a hill until it invariably rolled back down again, starting the arduous process anew.<\/p>\n<p>This sounds like a great workout but a terrible permanent lifestyle choice. However, the French-Algerian existentialist philosopher Albert Camus, in one of his more notable works, disagreed, arguing that &ldquo;[m]an stands face to face with the irrational&rdquo; at every moment and has to find something to keep him occupied. Pushing a stone up a mount, even if you constantly failed, was as good a pastime as any, Camus reasoned.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man&rsquo;s heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy,&rdquo; Camus wrote.<\/p>\n<p>If gun control were a boulder, the effort to defend it would be pushing it up a hill, and if Piers Morgan were Sisyphus, I imagine Camus would find him one of the most ecstatic men on earth, were ol&rsquo; Albert still here. (Camus lost his struggle with the wreckage of an expensive French sports car he was traveling in back in 1960, alas.)<\/p>\n<p>Morgan, long a fixture in British media, tried to take over for Larry King at CNN, but he is best remembered in that role for a gun control debate with conservative pundit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/piers-morgan-whines-about-nra\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ben Shapiro<\/a> in 2013 to which Mr. Morgan came very much unarmed, both in wits and weapons. The viral video remains one of the great moments of the early social media age and still pops up with more regularity than Piers would like.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>A decade and change has passed, and Mr. Morgan has shifted a bit, both in terms of politics and jobs. He hasn&rsquo;t budged on gun control, however, still doing the Sisyphean of pushing that boulder up the hill. The hill, this time, was Tucker Carlson, who he sat down with for an interview last week.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the interview touched on the subject of the Ukraine-Russia War, the United States&rsquo; place in the world, and where we should be sending assistance, monetary and military. However, about an hour and twenty minutes into the discussion, gun control reared its head, again.<\/p>\n<p>The topic came as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-tucker-carlson-uncovered-devastating-faa-s-2018-proved-obama-team-knew-playing-fire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Carlson<\/a> said the two were more aligned than they thought, including this way: &ldquo;You do own guns. I know that you do.&rdquo; (He apparently doesn&rsquo;t, but as a joke it elicited a laugh.)<\/p>\n<p>This elicited a laughter and some back and forth on arming Ukraine, but Piers had to play Sisyphus yet again.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;You know, the thing about guns, I&rsquo;ll just say this for your audience &hellip; the reality is that there&rsquo;s a complete cultural difference,&rdquo; Morgan said. &ldquo;In my country, everybody used to have a gun. Everybody used to, in the old days. Now, very few people have guns. There are incledibly tight restrictions. And the consequence of that is that we have almost zero gun crime.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Carlson, laughing: &ldquo;Is London safe now?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Yes, see, that&rsquo;s one of the problems: Criminals in the U.K. appear to have discovered the invention of knives, which legislators there are now trying to control. (Do you really need to cut that steak, Mr. and Mrs. Britain? Give them all up.)<\/p>\n<p>Morgan said the U.K. had a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/britains-safe-gun\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">knife problem<\/a>, yes. To which Carlson countered: &ldquo;No, you have a people problem. &hellip; You can&rsquo;t be trusted with guns now, because you&rsquo;re out of control.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>And part of that problem is that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/police-facebook-hate-speech\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the U.K.&nbsp;<em>wants<\/em> total control<\/a>, as Carlson pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>After Morgan pointed out that &ldquo;we all used to have guns, too,&rdquo; Tucker noted that the British, after winning World War II, had &ldquo;lost all your freedom, and now you can&rsquo;t even express your political opinions, or they put you in jail.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;So how did you win? How did you win? Is that what victory looks like? You lose all your rights. Your economy gets destroyed &ndash;&rdquo; he continued.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;You know how we won?&nbsp; We won because I&rsquo;m not conducting this interview in German,&rdquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-video-game-streamer-torched-calling-trump-demonic-piers-morgan-uncensored\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Morgan<\/a> said. &ldquo;I&rsquo;d rather not speak German. I&rsquo;d be goose-stepping around my yard in England.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;But you&nbsp;<em>are<\/em> goose-stepping!&rdquo; Carlson countered. &ldquo;People were arrested for praying.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We literally won our freedom,&rdquo; Morgan continued.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Where&rsquo;s your freedom?&rdquo; Carlson shot back. &ldquo;You can&rsquo;t defend yourself. You can&rsquo;t control who comes into your country, and you can&rsquo;t criticize government policies, or you get arrested. So how are you free?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The relevant part begins at 1:15:00:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">A dictator is someone who ignores elections and rules by violence.

No, probably not &mdash; but gun control is a grave symptom, not a proximate cause, of impending loss of liberty.<\/p>\n<p>Not every outrage is met &mdash; or should be met &mdash; with firearms, of course.

His eternal punishment involved pushing a boulder up a hill, only for it to roll back down each time he neared the top, forcing him to start over. While this may seem like an intense workout, it&#8217;s a grim fate for life. However, French-Algerian existentialist philosopher Albert Camus had a different perspective in one of his famous works. He suggested that &#8220;man confronts the irrational&#8221; at every moment and must find ways to occupy himself. Camus argued that even if Sisyphus constantly failed in his task, pushing the stone was as valid an activity as any other; he believed &#8220;the struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man\u2019s heart,&#8221; concluding with &#8220;One must imagine Sisyphus happy.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>If gun control were likened to Sisyphus&#8217;s boulder, then defending it would be akin to endlessly pushing it uphill\u2014an endeavor Piers Morgan has taken on repeatedly. Morgan has been prominent in British media and is particularly remembered for his 2013 gun control debate with conservative commentator Ben Shapiro on CNN where he seemed ill-prepared both intellectually and argumentatively. This moment became iconic during the early days of social media.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward over ten years later, Morgan remains steadfast on gun control despite shifts in his political views and career paths. Recently interviewed by Tucker Carlson about various topics including the Ukraine-Russia War, gun control resurfaced about an hour into their conversation when Carlson jokingly claimed Morgan owned guns (which he does not).
