Uh oh, looks like the jerk store is calling again. Piers Morgan took yet another a breather from Twitter (under 12 hours this time!) to scribble oh-so-genius comebacks and gun control arguments in his diary. And yes, once again, “right wing masses” mobilized to destroy his arguments within seconds.
@RBPundit @piersmorgan who said we were "happy" about those regs?

@piersmorgan Because cars are not a Constitutional right. Have you read the #LittleBook yet??!!
— Jackie H. (@liberty_penguin) January 12, 2013
Musket Morgan has no use for your silly “little book.” And he still doesn’t get how these Constitutional amendment thingies work.
There isn't a constitutional right to drive a car @piersmorgan. For the restrictions you desire, you need to amend the constitution.
— Larry O'Connor (@LarryOConnor) January 12, 2013
But hey, Musket’s just nobly trying to save American lives!
No, I'm trying to stop the next one > RT @stevets @piersmorgan You sure are capitalizing on tragedy. Appalling!
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) January 12, 2013
Yes, every American serious about preventing violent deaths gives a national platform to conspiracy kooks like Alex Jones. Anyway, back to his car analogy.
Because cars didn't exist. And nor did assault weapons > RT @LarryOConnor There isn't a constitutional right to drive a car @piersmorgan
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) January 12, 2013
So, if cars had existed when the Constitution was drafted, it would have explicitly protected our God-given right to tool around in a Honda? Amazing.
@piersmorgan @LarryOConnor horses did. Weird that there's no right to equines. It's almost like the US founders knew what they were writing.
— Harold Stickeehans (@StickeeNotes) January 12, 2013
What, no response to that one, Piers?
Never understand why some Americans are so opposed to amending the Constitution, to reflect modern times. It's been amended many times.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) January 12, 2013
And the straw men just keep on comin’.

Dear @piersmorgan, you’re right. The constitution can be amended. Good luck trying to get the 2nd amendment “revised.”
— RBe (@RBPundit) January 12, 2013
The fact is, gun control advocates won't move for const amend because it requires the people to have a say. #TheyWillLose @PiersMorgan
— Larry O'Connor (@LarryOConnor) January 12, 2013
.@piersmorgan There have been over 1,300 proposed constitutional amendments. Only 27 ratified, 10 were Bill of Rights, 3 from Civil War.

Heh.
@LarryOConnor do you not think the obviously ambiguity of the 2nd amendment wording is part of the problem?
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) January 12, 2013
Ah, yes. The famously ambiguous “shall not be infringed.”
@piersmorgan Have you even looked at contemporaneous writings of Founders? There can be no mistaking intent. @LarryOConnor
— Jeff Schreiber (@AmericasRight) January 12, 2013
Wait, you want Piers to read something else? He hasn’t even cracked open that “little book” yet.

And that last retweet is Piers Morgan’s gun-grabbing argument in a nutshell.
What’s with you American freedom-fetishists? Your rights begin where Piers says they begin.
Opposing assault weapons isn't anti-American. It's the opposite – I like Americans so much I want more of them to stay alive.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) January 12, 2013
Really? And how are some of the strictest gun laws in the nation helping save children’s lives in Chicago?
.@PiersMorgan thinks gun bans save lives and yet he doesn't want to save these lives? Why? — http://t.co/n9HiDzeM
— Burn, Democrat-Run Cities, Burn! (@NolteNC) January 12, 2013
Supposedly smart @piersmorgan still doesn’t get that he’s actually helping the opposition to more gun bans.
— RBe (@RBPundit) January 12, 2013
Bingo! He even inspired a slew of new NRA memberships.
Anyone else getting bored by Musket’s gun-grabbing shtick and desperation for ratings?
Fact is @piersmorgan knows what he wants & isn't going to let facts or data get in the way of his feelings. He's irrational & agenda driven.

I don't know about y'all but I'm SOOoo over Piers Morgan in the news! Actually, I was way over this pompous Brit before he made news
— Sandy (@tnacgal) January 12, 2013
Sadly, it’ll be a long time before Piers Morgan is “over Piers Morgan in the news.”
