Piers Morgan Gets Stupid, Then Petty, in Second Amendment Tweets
Piers Morgan is having a busy evening lecturing Americans on the Second Amendment tonight, and he’s doing a stellar job of making sure everyone knows not only is he ignorant about principles of American constitutional law, he’s also a colossal jerk.
Morgan posted several tweets dismissing gun rights as something that should be limited to hunting and displaying an astounding level of misinformation about guns and how they operate.
If you need an AR-15 to hunt animals, you’re such a bad shot you shouldn’t be allowed a gun in the first place. https://t.co/nFFWuIFhKc

I know exactly how it works – I fired one on CNN. They’re light, easy to shoot & fire as fast as your finger can pull the trigger.
Let me expand my question: why does any civilian need ANY semi-automatic weapon? https://t.co/pdawtJp9W0— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) April 2, 2018
Morgan told people to “try reading up on” the history of the Second Amendment, while interpreting the law completely backwards.
Have you studied the history of 2A? Try reading up on it. It was never intended to mean an individual’s right to bear arms – outside of a ‘well regulated militia’. https://t.co/Xb6w9gGAbd

As many people tweeted at him, the Supreme Court of the United States explicitly held in District of Columbia v. Heller that “[t]he Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.”
Morgan also made sure to make it clear that he thinks “ALL semi-automatic guns should be banned,” ignorant of the fact that this would include virtually all handguns.
I think ALL semi-automatic guns should be banned, just as automatic guns are banned.
No civilian needs one except to kill a lot of people very quickly. https://t.co/vvC5XGuPVq— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) April 2, 2018
Conservatives on Twitter attempted to educate him, but to no avail.
The Second Amendment has absolutely nothing to do with hunting. It’s about the power belonging to the people, NOT the government https://t.co/3OftErL0Sm

We literally fought a war so that British people would stop telling us how our rights should be defined, so chill. (And SCOTUS already rejected this argument anyway) https://t.co/rWVn4IzG6R

Then people reminded Morgan of the time that Ben Shapiro — a Harvard Law alumnus, so he knows a thing or two about the law — came on his former show on CNN and absolutely schooled him on constitutional rights. During that discussion, Shapiro had brought with him a pocket-sized copy of the Constitution, which Morgan dismissed as “your little book.”
Hopefully you kept that “silly little book” @benshapiro gave you on set- it would come in handy now. https://t.co/57DDpLwiz9

Morgan’s response was to launch a petty attack against Shapiro.
What was silly about it was the size, like its owner.
I prefer my copies of the Constitution, and my political pundits, to be substantial. https://t.co/97EmPjTU7p— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) April 3, 2018
Calm down little guy @benshapiro … it’s not my fault you’re so small.

Shapiro might be younger and shorter than Morgan, but he’s the one standing tall here as Morgan continues to get the basic facts of American constitutional law, guns, and how to conduct a Twitter debate embarrassingly wrong.
Americans fought the Revolutionary War so that the British would stop telling us how our rights should be defined. We can’t make them shut up on Twitter, but Shapiro had this sharp response:
Seems like someone’s overcompensating for a rather small…set of inalienable rights. https://t.co/LokFak6fcF
