The TV boss fears the jibe could be taken seriously following a spate of shooting incidents across the globe.
Normally happy to take the flack on the chin, Si blasted Gore as a 'weirdo'. Cowell's rage came after the 51-year-old guitarist blamed The X Factor boss for destroying the music scene.
The Personal Jesus rocker told Music Week: 'I'm not advocating violence, but I think somebody should shoot Simon Cowell.'
'His influence in the music industry over the last God knows how many years it's been now. It's just like, so many people think that that's what music is.'
'What happened to bands getting together? They are very few and far between now and the ones that do probably can't afford to get into a studio and make a record.'
The 53-year-old pop mogul wasted no time in firing back. He tweeted: 'I read Martin gore wants to shoot me. He was is in depeche mode. Do you realise how weird and stupid that makes you. Go and watch the news.'
'Why I am angry about weirdo gore is a ton of people have got shot this year and people. Like weirdo gore encourage this.'
